Per WP:2DABS, hatnote is best in these circumstances, easier and quicker for readers. Boleyn (talk) 13:15, 20 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. No need for a disambiguation page when there's only two pages with one of them being primary. Jiten talkcontribs 14:12, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep and move to base title. Not convinced that the film is the primary title, given that it's old, doesn't seem to be highly rated, and doesn't seem to have won any awards. The recent Indian television show seems to have just as good a claim.  Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:13, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Too early to determine if a primary topic change is required. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 04:51, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with your rationale. So far, Half Marriage has had 1350+ views in the past 30 days whereas Half Marriage (TV series) has racked up 500+ in just the past week. Since its a new show, I'm guessing its the influx of readers curious to know more about it. From the limited time the article has existed, its not possible to say whether it'll consistently get more views or not. Same could be said for Special:WhatLinksHere for the two pages. The first one has more articles linking to it since it's been around for longer. The second one could gain more as time passes or remain the same. It's best to wait for some time before making a decision regarding the primary topic in this case. Jiten talkcontribs 21:28, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree, in looking at a primary topic change we would need to assess 'long-term significance' and it is much too early for that. No prejudice against a WP:RM at some point in the future, but too early to change the primary topic. Boleyn (talk) 07:06, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking at relevant pageviews shows that there's no primary topic. The earliest Google News sources I find for the Indian TV series is from August 2017. Using July 2015 to July 2017 as a date range, Half Marriage, about the 1929 film, averages 5 hits a day.  After the news of the TV series spreads in August 2017, the pageviews from that month to today goes up to 31 hits a day,  and to 50 hits a day in the last month.  The page on the TV series has averaged 55 hits a day since its creation. Given the timing, the logical conclusion is not that an old film is somehow regaining significance and popularity, but that the new Indian TV series (which has several Indian RS reporting on it) is what the majority of viewers want. We should not be directing readers to the wrong page. There's no reason why we should be favouring an old Western film, over a modern Indian TV series, when there is no evidence that the film is the primary topic, especially when the majority of viewers actually want the TV series.
