Oppose Primary topic exists to serve those users who use the Go button I strongly believe that to be a tiny proportion of readers and the vast majority of people arriving at will have come from an external search provider eg Google or a direct link to the article a wikilink or a link from another website This undermines the value of page views as a metric you can not infer anything about the number of misdirected readers who got here by Go The page one results of a Google UK search for Worcester exclusively relate to the English city and one of the hits is this article I believe a Google com search in the US exclusively returns Worcester MA on page 1 including a link to Worcester Massachusetts can a US editor confirm I don t trust Google com to ignore my location In other words UK and US readers using links or Google already arrive at the correct article What will happen to the vast majority of users if this page is moved Wikilinks to this article will be temporarily degraded External links to this article will be degraded for a longer period some permanently As for external search we can see what will happen by comparing to Durham The page one results of a Google UK search exclusively relate to the English city except there is a link to a WP disambig instead of the WP article Presumably that will change to the Durham England article and I will be intrigued to see how long it takes for Google to repair that Meanwhile a Google com search in the US is unaffected and continues to be exclusively for Durham NC including the wiki article I would expect the same here in event of a pagemove This will result in zero benefit to US users except that small proportion who try their luck with Go It will significantly degrade the utility of this article to UK users as they will no longer even see this article in a Google search for at least a month This is not about UK vs US its about providing a minor benefit to a small fraction of users and ignoring the principle of stable URIs and the damage a rename causes IMO The costs of this move outweigh the gains I realise this oppose is really an opposition to guidance policy than the application of that guidance to this case However we can see the actual negative impacts that will happen here by comparing to the Durham case anion
