Senator Hawley → Senator Hawley (disambiguation) – Josh appears to be the clear primary target: , and he would likely be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for people that might be referred to as "Senator Hawley". And Josh has gotten most page views out of all these 3 for the last decade: [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=1&start=2016-08-01&end=2026-03-20&pages=Charles_Hawley Servite et contribuere (talk) 16:15, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Comment. Although it doesn't matter too much, it might be better to leave it as it is. This dab page gets only 5 views per day compared to 2950 for Josh Hawley. And although it's true the large majority of the small number of readers landing on this page want Josh, if we move it we'd have to add a {{redirect}} hatnote on Josh Hawley directing readers to a dab page with two unrelated articles that virtually none of them want.

- I will admit this could be seen as WP:OTHERSTUFF, but for clarification, that is how it is on like Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and Bernie Sanders for example. Not saying that it should be moved on the basis of other articles, but clarifying that some do have these. Servite et contribuere (talk) 18:15, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Interesting point. Pageview analysis shows those three primary redirects average zero hits per day. They are basically useless, but they require useless hatnotes atop three high-traffic articles. It might be better to move in the other direction. Station1 (talk) 18:56, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
