Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954) → Wolfgang Becker – We have two articles on people named "Wolfgang Becker", both directors. Seems Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954) is the primary topic per WP:PT1 as his article receives approximately 20x more pageviews over the last 12 months versus the director born 1910: https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2023-12&end=2024-11&pages=Wolfgang_Becker_(director,_born_1954)%7CWolfgang_Becker_(director,_born_1910)

Suggest moving Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954) to Wolfgang Becker, and replace the disambiguation page with a hatnote (WP:ONEOTHER). RachelTensions (talk) 15:11, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Side note: since both Wolfgang Beckers we have articles for are directors, it doesn't seem like including "director" as a disambiguator actually achieves anything. Would it make sense to remove it for Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1910) and just disambiguate by year of birth? RachelTensions (talk) 15:29, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Do me a favour and, whatever the decision, don't move while on the Main page! The duration there is unpredictable, sometimes RD articles stay just 24 hours, but the last one has been up since 14 December. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
