Honeymoon Bridge (Ontario)Honeymoon Bridge – International crossing is very much the primary topic, should not have been moved without discussion. - Floydian τ ¢ 18:39, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - the primary topic in Google Books appears to be Honeymoon Bridge (game) In ictu oculi (talk) 02:25, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That is a DICDEF that should be merged with the "Variations" paragraph in Contract bridge: Fundamentals and preliminaries.  AjaxSmack  03:16, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it should be a redirect, I don't know. But that doesn't change the fact that Honeymoon Bridge in Google Books Honeymoon Bridge (game) refers to the bridge variation. Even if it didn't there are several bridges. How are we going to accomodate multiple topics? We can't pretend they don't exist. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:55, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Whether it is a redirect or not, it exists, and needs to be considered for disambiguation purposes. —BarrelProof (talk) 07:50, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For that a hatnote could direct readers to Honeymoon Bridge (disambiguation). I don't believe that a variant of a well known game (which will show up in many card rule books on google books) is more known that an international crossing that has existed for well over a century. - Floydian τ ¢ 20:57, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1898-1938 is 40 years not "well over a century". I really do not think an 1898-1938 bridge is more notable than all other uses combined, and Google Books has plenty of references to the Jackson bridge and other bridges as well as the game variant. The breakdown in Google Books appears to be about 700 for the game, 600 for the 1898-1938 bridge, 170 for the Jackson bridge, 200 for sundry other subjects. ping User:CookieMonster755 In ictu oculi (talk) 00:32, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. I guess I should read things more closely. I didn't actually realize we were talking about a bridge that hasn't existed for more than 75 years, and seems to have been only one of at least 6 bridges in its approximate location, and seems to have had at least two other names. In fact this bridge seems barely notable, much less a primary topic for its name. The primary name for this bridge, as stated in its article, is Upper Steel Arch Bridge. How about moving it to that name? —BarrelProof (talk) 01:40, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realize this either, thought the current bridge also had that name. Moving it to Upper Steel Arch Bridge may be the better solution... However, I still don't believe that Google Books gives any credence to the game or the other bridge. - Floydian τ ¢ 19:41, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
