Mary Donaldson (disambiguation) → Mary Donaldson – As Queen Mary of Denmark is now likely to be generally known as such I don't think we can treat her as the primary topic. PatGallacher (talk) 00:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. The redirect Mary Donaldson got 33,000 hits yesterday! There's rarely a case for a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, but if there ever was one, this is it. Station1 (talk) 02:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
  • A classic example of WP:RECENTISM, I'm afraid. PatGallacher (talk) 01:23, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

    That essay has to do with article content, not titles. But in any case, the current queen has been the consistent primary topic for "Mary Donaldson" since 2004. See 2022 pageviews for example. Station1 (talk) 07:09, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. The queen is the primary topic by pageviews and web search. (Note I have deliberately selected a timespan for page views from before the abdication, to avoid recentism.) Celia Homeford (talk) 14:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
