Another keyword to merge and redirect

Nevertheless, those keywords almost definitely are seen as barbara-gordon-character for Batman Beyond. The fact that the keyword could refer to two separate characters makes it a terrible keyword.

Edit: None of the 121 uses of commissioner-gordon-character are attached to Batman Beyond.

Nevertheless, those keywords almost definitely are seen as barbara-gordon-character for Batman Beyond. 

The character is listed in the credits as "Commissioner Barbara Gordon." The character is both a "barbara-gordon-character" and a "commissioner-gordon-character."

The fact that the keyword could refer to two separate characters makes it a terrible keyword.

To solve that problem (to the extent it is indeed a problem), the alternative would be to merge all instances of "commissioner-gordon-character" into "james-gordon-character," then permanently block "commissioner-gordon-character," and then create two separate keywords: "commissioner-james-gordon-character" and "commissioner-barbara-gordon-character." But then you would also have to keep at least "barbara-gordon-character" as a separate keyword, because Barbara Gordon is not the police commissioner in most appearances of the Barbara character. That starts getting pretty complex and potentially confusing to keep track of the different keywords.

None of the 121 uses of commissioner-gordon-character are attached to Batman Beyond.

But this keyword could be used for Batman Beyond. And for that reason, it would not make sense to permanently redirect the keyword "commissioner-gordon-character" to "james-gordon-character." 

@adrian​ By the way, is it really such a bad thing for the keyword "commissioner-gordon-character" to potentially refer to more than one character?

After all, consider the character Robin, also in the Batman universe. Many different characters have gone under the name Robin, and they are all Robin characters, but are they really all the same character? Is the female version of Robin with the alter ego Carrie Kelley the same exact character as the male version of Robin with the alter ego Dick Grayson?  Although these are all Robin characters, they are arguably not all the same exact character.

Finally, it's worth noting that many (most?) titles list the character as "Commissioner Gordon" in the credits, rather than "Commissioner James Gordon." This is yet another reason why something may be lost to eliminate "commissioner-gordon-character" as a keyword.

My objection is mainly having the person's title in the keyword since it then gets applied improperly. I'm pretty sure I've seen it used in series that have James Gordon but where he is not the commissioner, like in Gotham. I would think this would go with the idea that actor's aren't credited with titles either, i.e. you wouldn't have "Rev. Jesse Jackson".

@adrian​

Good point.

Would this be a good solution?

1. Merge all current instances of "commissioner-gordon-character" into "james-gordon-character."

2. Permanently block "commissioner-gordon-character"

3. Going forward, distinguish between two separate keywords: "james-gordon-character" and "barbara-gordon-character." 

@keyword_expert​ 

That would be my preference. Sorry. Sometimes I think I'm being clear because it is clear in my mind but I don't always communicate it well.

@Michelle Looks like @adrian and I have come up with a solution that we both endorse. What do you think?
