Redirect Yelchin to Anton Yelchon[edit]

I think this page should redirect to Anton Yelchin because following his tragic, sad, and unusual death nobody will think of the name Yelchin as any else. It is an uncommon surname even in his native Russia. Plus the only other Yelchin on Wikipedia is his uncle who is already mentioned on Anton Yelchin Wikipedia article. If anybody has ideas in favour or against making this redirect please right below. -Red Icarus of Jakarta on August 20, 2016

Disagree. People searching by surname only may just as well look for the uncle. (Chances are actually greater that people will remember the first name of Anton, at least for the time being while "the tragic, sad etc." is still fresh, so this disambiguation page will be more useful for people looking for Eugene.) --T*U (talk) 20:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yelchin → Anton Yelchin – Move page to Anton Yelchin; make Yelchin a redirect to Anton Yelchin.I tried to make it redirect however a user had disagreed with his opinion. While he is more than welcome to express that I simply feel that making a final decision by writing "I disagree" seems one person's opinion and therefore would need more opinions to make a final decisions. The reason for this redirect is because following his tragic, sad, and unusual death nobody will think of the name Yelchin as anything else. It is an uncommon surname even in his native Russia. Plus the only other Yelchin on Wikipedia is his uncle who is already mentioned on Anton Yelchin. It was a major headline and is a viral topic. Anything I look up on google about Yelchin is Anton Yelchin and no Eugene Yelchin. An Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red Icarus of Jakarta (talk • contribs) 02:03, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:NWFCTM. I do not see how the circumstances surrounding his death can make Anton the primary topic. People searching by surname only may just as well look for the uncle. Chances are actually greater that people will remember the first name of Anton, at least for the time being while "the tragic, sad etc." is still fresh, so this disambiguation page will be more useful for people looking for Eugene. --T*U (talk) 08:21, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this is a surname. The actor is never referred to as just "Yelchin", so not the same as a mononym like "Stalin" or "Mozart". In ictu oculi (talk) 08:35, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – the article about the actor has received over a hundred times more views than the one about the illustrator and 2000 times more than the surname index [1] (period after his death is excluded). That could indicate it's a primary topic ( leaving aside the question of whether the actor is likely to be ever referred to by the bare surname). However, adding a hatnote at Anton Yelchin would add clutter at the top of the article, which is unnecessary for the over 2200 users who view it every day, and this is not offset by the possible extra convenience for the one user a day who searches for "Yelchin". – Uanfala (talk) 12:10, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
