We inherited both articles from TV Tropes, and they were substantially more lax with duplicate articles that we are. Considering that Safe Harbor (Useful notes) is "Watershed in the USA", I'd be inclined to merge the two into Watershed. But I'm only one mod; I can't speak for everybody.
(Similarly, we have "Takahashi Couple", which is "Belligerent Sexual Tension written by Rumiko Takahashi". We have a discussion going to merge those two pages. No doubt we have more examples of this.)
That said, I see a few techincal inaccuracies in your post:
- The category is "Useful Notes", not "useful notes". Pagenames are case-sensitive.
- There is no conflict between "Safe Harbor (Useful notes)" and "Safe Harbor (TV series)". We have the MediaWiki "disambiguation" system to distinguish between them if if becomes an issue.
- While it is true that the word is spelled "harbour" in British English, "Safe Harbor" is American. They drop a lot of "U"s.
- All The Tropes doesn't do hatnotes. Instead, we add a "Not to be confused with..." line just before the list of examples or tropes. (We don't have this documented anywhere. This needs to go into the Style Guide.) And there's no reason to add either to a redirect, since the vast majority of people will never see the text.
