Swap with redirect?: Casanova

Firstly, I see no reason to rename - despite being a character-named trope, it has no real issues with misuse or wicks. However, The Casanova seems like a much more "standard" name for this trope, and without the "The", it shares its name with several works.

Anyone have a problem with this?

Names identical to the work, I think a swap is a good idea.

Definitely. In general, Character-named character-types should include "The".

BUMP. Swap and change wicks. We can direct inbounds to the TV show.

Considering that character-named tropes are out of style these days, I propose Cold Hearted Seducer or Heartless Rake as a possible rename. Never much liked having the character name for the trope anyway, because Casanova was more of The Charmer than this.

Except "casanova" is the standard term.

Casanova is the basic English word for this trope. It's in the dictionary. People are more likely to be familiar with it as this trope than any of the redirects. It should be The Casanova though.

Anyone know how to swap in the "the", then?

I've moved it to "The" and made the current Casanova into a disambig.
