Requested move 28 July 2018

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.

No consensus. See no general agreement below to grant this request. The long-term title will remain, and the redirect, Kure, though disputed below as primary redirect, will continue to target this article until perhaps a requested move at Talk:Kure (disambiguation) results in renaming the disambiguation page.

Kure, HiroshimaKure – Per WP:PTOPIC. The city in Japan is significant both as a populated place (it's larger than any other place with the same name), and in the context of military history. Addendum: Compared to Kure Atoll, Google Trends show significantly higher search interest for the Japanese topic. feminist (talk) 07:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. bd2412 T 04:00, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Not sure March 2009‎ B Fizz moved Kure to Kure (disambiguation) over redirect: Kure will be changed to redirect to Kure, Hirishima, the natural main article.) but the current set up has advantages. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:24, 28 July 2018 (UTC) ... change to Oppose the Japanese town doesn't pass the "Kure is" or "Kure was" tests. In both Kure (atoll) gets more book references. a primary redirect to Kure, Hiroshima serves better now than removing "Hiroshima" and making the article less recognizable.

    We don't aim to make the titles more recognizable than needed, by that lodgic it could be at [[Kure is a port and major shipbuilding city situated on the Seto Inland Sea in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. With a strong industrial heritage Kure hosts the second oldest naval dockyard in Japan and remains an important base for the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF)]] which would be silly. This essay explains this. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:17, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
    Is it any surprise that in book sources, an American topic would receive more coverage than a Japanese topic? That does not automatically translate to reader interest. Google Trends data shows that Kure in Japan receives much more interest than Kure Atoll. feminist (talk) 16:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
No, exactly why this RM is a bad idea. There is no primary for Kure. And in fact should probably be a dab page per AjaxSmack below. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:50, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
That technically isn't the case for all readers since the redirect is only one way people find things. In Googling for example they have been finding "Kure, Hiroshima" and "Kure (atoll)" as choices. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:53, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
