BYD Seal (disambiguation) → List of cars named BYD Seal – If this page is to function as a set index, it cannot have "disambiguation" in the title. It must be or the other, not both.

I'm open to alternative title suggestions; my proposal is simply what seems to me to be the easiest way to resolve this. (Renaming this page to BYD Seal would require an alternative name for the article currently at that title.) Sable232 (talk) 00:44, 13 January 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits!

Support per nom, or alternately Merge all to BYD Seal for consistency with other articles about cars and trucks. Most articles about car and truck models do not use MOS:DAB style titles, even when the manufacturer sold dissimilar vehicles simultaneously under the same nameplate. See List of vehicles named Dodge Ram and Toyota Corolla for examples of each respective listing style. I would also suggest pinging other editors at the BYD Seal talk page to help build consensus.

Clarification: by "merge all", I mean converting the BYD Seal page to a summary listing of all BYD Seal models, with individual hatnoted links to individual models that have their own pages, like the Toyota Corolla article. Numerous Toyota articles are set up this way due to the company's history of simultaneously marketing dissimilar vehicles with the same name. Toyota enthusiasts typically differentiate the models using chassis codes. Carguychris (talk) 14:58, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Repurpose to disambiguation - the proposed title seems a bit awkward and potentially hinders its visibility IMO. Andra Febrian (talk) 02:00, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Andra Febrian, just to clarify, do you mean converting the BYD Seal article to a MOS:DAB page or a summary-style listing? See my further explanation above. I came to realize that "merge all" was a bit vague. Carguychris (talk) 15:00, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I meant converting back this page BYD Seal (disambiguation) into an actual disambiguation, instead of the current set index. I think the BYD Seal article should be best left alone as it is a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Andra Febrian (talk) 03:42, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
