Talk:Old Trafford (disambiguation)

Make Old Trafford (football) main article?

I don't wish to tread on anyones toes here, but it seems to me that Manchester United are considerably better known worldwide than Lancashire Cricket Club, which in turn is better known than the area of Trafford, and so the odds are that most people searching for Old Trafford would be searching for the football ground. A quick Google search (usual Google caveats apply) reveals "Old Trafford" football retrieves 1,430,000 articles [1] while "Old Trafford" cricket retrieves 645,000 articles [2]. Why not move Old Trafford (football) here, and place a disambiguation notice at the top, pointing towards the cricket ground and geographical area? --Daduzi ^talk 23:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since nobody objected I've gone ahead and done it. --Daduzi ^talk 12:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably no-one objected because as a DMB page it wasn't on anyone's watch list! There is no basis for having this as a redirect. In its own way the cricket ground is as important as the football ground. To make this a redirect makes everything look clumsy having to have a string of DAB links at the top of the football article.

All it takes is "for other uses, see Old Trafford (disambiguation)", and stick all the dab links there. Neıl ☎ 11:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
