– The American band from nearly 60 years ago, The Redcoats, is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the Australian Redcoats (band). The Redcoats should redirect to the Red coat disambiguation page alongside Red Coats, Red Coat, Redcoat and Redcoats. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:19, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support or move The Redcoats to The Redcoats (American rock band): Note that the Georgia Redcoat Marching Band is also an American band and is "commonly referred to as 'The Redcoats'", according to the opening sentence of the article on the subject. The American rock band is probably also not a primary topic over the British army, which were "called the Redcoats by the Americans" in the 1700s. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:17, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The British Army is clearly the primary meaning in any case. The term was not just used by the Americans in the 1700s! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per nom. No objection to the additional disambiguation The Redcoats (American rock band), although I think a hatnote would be sufficient. 162 etc. (talk) 16:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support at the very least for the 2nd as titles with "The" are normally ambiguous with those without it. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:12, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
