Discussing here in lieu of additional reverts:
There are at least two journals which currently have the title Hermes:
In light of this, it is wrong for "Hermes (journal)" to be a hard redirect to one that doesn't currently use that title. There is far too much opportunity for confusion, particularly for editors making links from article bibliographies. Neither journal is massively more prominent than the other, so WP:NOPRIMARY applies, and this should be a disambiguation page between the three, not a redirect.

- Let alone the issue of primary topic,
WP:INCDAB should generally be a redirect to the main dab (or a section of it which lists all the related entries) if there are not enough entries there per
WP:PDAB. That's why I asked you to add entries directly to
Hermes (disambiguation). It's highly doubted that a recently created article could easily affect the original target which has held the only topic for many years. If the controversy over the primary topic remains, you may take it to
WP:RFD for a consensus.

- I've listed it at RFD: the current setup is definitely wrong (either this redirect should stand as a DAB, or it should redirect with hatnotes to a journal actually called Hermes, or it should be deleted and rolled into Hermes (disambiguation). Suspect you're right that we're more likely to find consensus there than here. UndercoverClassicist T· C 17:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
