Requested move 25 July 2018

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. There is a consensus to move the page as proposed in the request to the base name per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and also It's a Living (1998 TV series) to It's a Living (Canadian TV series), per the discussion below. The disambiguation page is deemed unnecessary per WP:2DAB and there is no opposition to its removal. (non-admin closure) The editor whose username is Z0 16:11, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]


It's a Living (1980 TV series)It's a Living – This looks pretty clearly to be a WP:TWODABS situation, with this article as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as page views pretty clearly show. Thus this article should be moved to the base title. With only two articles with this title, I don't think a disambiguation page is necessary, and hatnotes can distinguish this article from It's a Living (1998 TV series). --IJBall (contribstalk) 06:46, 25 July 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.usernamekiran(talk) 19:26, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, your pageview stats aren't providing an accurate comparison — it's using a redirect, not the actual page title, of the 1998/Canadian series. So it's not counting all pageviews on that series, but only the ones that two-stepped their way through one particular redirect. It's missing anybody who used the "Canadian" redirect instead, and it's missing anybody who bypassed the redirects and went directly to the actual page title in one step. That's why you haven't proven primary topic yet: you're giving us an apples-to-redirect comparison, not an apples-to-apples one. Bearcat (talk) 03:54, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reconsider what? I didn't express any opinion either way, I just pointed out a problem with the data sets that were being compared. Bearcat (talk) 17:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well–whether the evidence presented over the course of the discussion represents an apples-to-apples comparison. Dekimasuよ! 21:44, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It does, as I think I've demonstrated multiple times above. --IJBall (contribstalk) 03:15, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree – if the U.S. series is moved to the base title, It's a Living (Canadian TV series) is a better location for the 1998 series article. --IJBall (contribstalk) 14:16, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
