Moon landing conspiracy theory is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of "moon hoax" (see Google results). Therefore, this disambiguation page is pointless. Soumya-8974 ^talk _contribs ^subpages 11:54, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessary per WP:TWODABS. Redirect to the moon landing hoax, and add a hatnote to the other entry. Hog Farm _Bacon 14:15, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Bacon. Neither entry is an acceptable dab entry anyway. (Everyone knows that the Moon is made of green cheese; if Apollo 11 had actually tried to land, the rocket exhaust would have melted the cheese and the lander would have sunk out of sight. Yeah, that's it.) Clarityfiend (talk) 06:33, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It's not causing any harm, only help! Anyone familiar with 19th century American media history would think of Great Moon Hoax when they see "moon hoax." At least I did. Fun to see that this was created as a redirect in 2003.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 22:30, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the no-no WP:NOHARM argument. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:39, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have this rule on the moon. We only have WP:IAR. I need to find more moon hoaxes, I may need to invent some.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 16:19, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any reference of the 19th century American media history when searching for "moon hoax". Those who are familiar with still thinks that "moon hoax" is something related to Apollo 11. --Soumya-8974 ^talk _contribs ^subpages 11:37, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Moon landing conspiracy theory. There are really only 2 articles that "moon hoax" could refer to: point it to this one, and put a {{redirect-distinguish}} hatnote to the other. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
