World of Warcraft[edit]

I have a suspicion that a Hearthstone is something other than a World of Warcraft item.

From a previous version of the page, "A hearthstone is a special item in the computer game, World of Warcraft, that allows the player to return to their home location every hour." I think it's okay to mention that, along with other uses for the term. I have converted the page to a disambiguation page to list its many uses. --doncram (talk) 16:30, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

– No clear primary topic, the video game is probably primary by usage but the stone is probably primary by long-term significance. The video game gets 9,531 views but the stone gets 6,753[[1]]. There is also also a hamlet in England and several places in the US. An alternative target is Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft but it seems that title was dropped but could potentially be used as natural disambiguation per WP:SUBTITLE.

  • Oppose. What even is "the stone"? As I mentioned in the last RM, it seems near impossible to search for such a thing in Google images, due to the preponderance of images relating to the game. And the above page views is comparing Hearthstone the game with Hearth, not Hearthstone, which is a completely different kettle of fish. I doubt anyone's very interested in the traditional sort of hearthstone per se.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:55, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • support not big enough a difference in page views to justify wp:primarytopic—blindlynx (talk) 19:50, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. There are no other articles called "Hearthstone", and the PTMs on the DAB page are not especially popular. I'm not convinced hearth primarily refers to "the stone" (which I think is what the nomination is getting at). Nohomersryan (talk) 20:08, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Nohomersryan. -- ferret (talk) 20:53, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. As nom says, the physical object is primary under long term significance, while the page views of the game aren't enough compared to the object to establish that it is "much more likely than any other single topic" BilledMammal (talk) 23:39, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I agree the physical object of hearth is primary, but not to the extent that it'd extend to the merely related term hearthstone. For comparison, consider: online streaming of movies, or, "net flicks", is a primary topic in regards to Netflix, but that doesn't warrant moving Netflix to a different name. I'd support the move if the video game was named simply "Hearth". BlueBanana (talk) 00:08, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the Netflix comparison is a bit of a stretch, not least because Net Flicks is currently a redirect to Netflix, and the term "Net Flicks" appears to show no use in the manner you have described. Further, I would note that "hearthstone" is not just a related term; it is an alt-title at the Hearth article. BilledMammal (talk) 00:46, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Hearth article does not support that statement. The very first sentence says that a hearth is made up of at least one hearthstone, so they're clearly not synonymous. -- Fyrael (talk) 03:44, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Nom's claim that "the stone gets 6,000 views" is incredibly misleading - as the pageviews shows, the article hearth is what is getting those 6,000 views, of which perhaps 10 of them are specifically interested in the idea of a "hearthstone". Maybe 20 if we want to get crazy. The video game is still the primary topic. SnowFire (talk) 05:04, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per WP:PARTIAL and the word "Hearthstone" specifically is clearly the primary topic for the video game.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 10:37, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Hearth and hearthstone are not the same. And also I would deeply oppose any change to move the video game to anything with that subtitle. I've played many hours of that game and couldn't have told you the subtitle if asked. I doubt anybody is looking for it using that subtitle. -- Fyrael (talk) 03:44, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – No primarytopic here. Dicklyon (talk) 06:56, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - The videogame is clearly the primary topic for "Hearthstone". References to the view count for hearth are simply not helpful here as that is an entirely different topic/article/search. The users proposing to move should show that when users are searching for "hearthstone" they are looking for something other than the video game. No such showing has been made and thus the article should not be moved. DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:00, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Misleading to give the hearth pageviews. If they want to read about hearth, they go to hearth. If they want to read about hearthstone, they go to hearthstone. Which is exactly what happens right now. Don't waste hundreds of people's time every day by forcing an extra click and page load for the thing they actually want.[2] - hahnchen 13:43, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
