I mean if there links to the properly disambiguated pages, optionally with a brief description, how is clicking around in tangentially related topics going to help the user to quickly find the context they are looking for?

While the planet and the element were named after the Roman deity, that does not mean that the deity is the primary definition. Arguably, in this day and age, the planet and the element are far more common references. As it was before, the links to the planet and the element were buried in amongst the other science terms, which are far less common. (Another argument in favour of the rewrite is evident in earlier move discussions; the most common argument for <b>not</b> moving the planet article was the significance of the <b>element</b>, with the deity as a secondary mention.) ---<b><a href="/wiki/User:Ckatz" title="User:Ckatz">Ckatz</a></b><i><small><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ckatz" title="User talk:Ckatz"><sup style="color:green;">chat</sup></a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ckatz" title="Special:Contributions/Ckatz"><sub style="color:red;">spy</sub></a></small></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mercury#c-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z-Revamp_of_the_lead_section" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z-Revamp_of_the_lead_section"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z-Revamp_of_the_lead_section"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Apoc2400-2006-11-07T09:40:00.000Z-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z"></span>Good. --<a href="/wiki/User:Apoc2400" title="User:Apoc2400">Apoc2400</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mercury#c-Apoc2400-2006-11-07T09:40:00.000Z-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Apoc2400-2006-11-07T09:40:00.000Z-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Apoc2400-2006-11-07T09:40:00.000Z-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Fuzzypeg-2010-06-28T02:10:00.000Z-Ckatz-2006-10-02T07:05:00.000Z"></span>I agree that chemical and astronomical meanings should have primacy, but the mythological name is now buried way down the page under "Other uses".

If you look through my edits, you'll see I'm very familiar with the process. Yes, Mercury Boulevard and Project Mercury both seem like they would be referred to by the single name. Mercury Rev looks like a partial title match to me, which according to the page you keep linking should not be included. Whether or not the entry is sometimes called simply "Mercury" matters quite a lot, contrary to all your question marks. That's the basis for how a user arrives at this page: by just searching for "Mercury". Including partial title matches is actually not common practice and is not desirable.<a href="/wiki/User:Fyrael" title="User:Fyrael"> -- Fyrael</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Fyrael" title="User talk:Fyrael">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mercury#c-Fyrael-2013-09-04T06:48:00.000Z-Red_Slash-2013-09-04T02:36:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Fyrael-2013-09-04T06:48:00.000Z-Red_Slash-2013-09-04T02:36:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Fyrael-2013-09-04T06:48:00.000Z-Red_Slash-2013-09-04T02:36:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Red_Slash-2013-09-04T22:57:00.000Z-Fyrael-2013-09-04T06:48:00.000Z"></span>? I'm also very familiar with disambiguation pages, and I don't get the point of religiously eliminating all partial-title matches... truth be told, when someone has a common first name and an atypical last name it's rather typical to remember them primarily by the last name. "Oh, that singer guy, Mercury or something... what was his name?
