Giant Drop (Six Flags Great America) → Giant Drop – The page at Giant Drop is a redirect to a ride at another location with "The" added to the front of it. The name Giant Drop at Six Flags Great America is unambigious.

@Harobouri and In ictu oculi: queried move request Happily888 (talk) 00:15, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rephrasing my last sentence: The name Giant Drop is unambiguous. The ride is located at Six Flags Great America and not the one located at The Giant Drop. Harobouri ^{T • C (he/him)} 01:46, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PTOPIC may still refer to The Giant Drop, as the title or redirect of the article should be what is highly likely ... to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. Therefore, there should be some discussion potentially focusing on which topic more readers are more likely to search for or is more notable. Happily888 (talk) 10:15, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

Hm, I think that a disambiguation could be helpful instead of the redirect because the model is also called "Giant Drop," or the pages could just be left as is. Harobouri ^{T • C (he/him)} 11:26, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Turn Giant Drop into a dab for the two rides. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:12, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also think the best course of action here is to have a disambiguation page at Giant Drop. There are two rides with similar names, and I don't think either of them is the primary topic of the name "Giant Drop". – Epicgenius (talk) 14:17, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  notable, having held the title of the tallest drop tower in the world for fourteen years and still being the fastest and tallest ride in the Southern hemisphere.[2][3] Happily888 (talk) 00:57, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

  I think the disambig. for the two rides would be okay instead of moving this page into Giant Drop. -- Harobouri ^{T • C (he/him)} 14:57, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. Move The Giant Drop to The Giant Drop (Dreamworld) instead. 162 etc. (talk) 00:03, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Giant Drop functions best as a disambiguation. Nether topic listed seem to the the primary topic. Xenryjake (talk) 05:54, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• The Giant Drop is more likely to be the primary topic due to its notability (see my comment above), so it makes more sense to keep Giant Drop as a redirect to it. Happily888 (talk) 22:31, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
