Mosley → Mosley (disambiguation) – Mosley almost universally means Oswald Mosley, and should be a redirect there as are Hitler and Mussolini. The page views for every page on this disambiguation can be seen here - generally, at its lowest the fascist had more than 2,000x more views than the highest other. 🔮🛷 Vote Kane 🛷🔮 (talk) 16:28, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Notified several talk pages related to Oswald Mosley. Pinging @Bagumba: performed the original creation of the disambiguation page. 🔮🛷 Vote Kane 🛷🔮 (talk) 16:36, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Leaning oppose, as we are comparing this not just against the topics on the disambiguation page, but everyone at Mosley (surname), and without discounting the similarity with Mosely (or even Mossley). Of the top ten most viewed people surnamed Mosley, Oswald gets less than 1/3 of the traffic. BD2412 T 01:09, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
- Weak oppose per BD2412. While Oswald Mosley does receive more views than any other single topic by that name, I feel the bar for setting a surname as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT should be a high one, particularly when the surname (like this one) belongs to many notable people. I'm not sure if Oswald has the level of widespread recognition that would make this redirect desirable. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:48, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
