Requested move 31 July 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move, and after three relists, it doesn't seem as though consensus is going to get any clearer. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 22:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Linga (disambiguation) → Linga – Move over the redirect which currently targets Lingam. I'm not convinced that the alternative form for "Lingam" is the primary topic for "Linga" which has a number of other uses. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:31, 31 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:11, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support~~ this is indeed something I've wondered myself given the existence of the Scottish islands a species (which was primary on Commons until I moved it). Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:22, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support per the evidence presented below by JHunterJ. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, Ortizesp and Crouch, Swale. WP:NOPRIMARY. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:31, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. "Not convinced" and "I've wondered myself" aren't criteria, and the other supports are WP:PERNOM, WP:EVERYONEELSE, WP:VAGUEWAVE. massviews indicate the current arrangement is correct. Note that if the page is moved, there are 256 incoming wikilinks that the closing admin is expected to fix. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:18, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @JHunterJ: Massviews does not show that the current arrangement is correct. It shows that of all the entries on the list, Lingam is the most popular page. It does not show that Lingam is the most popular (or significant) use of "Linga". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:33, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - We may disagree on how much it illustrates, but the proposal and supports here have not illustrated even that much, however much it is. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:04, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Another illustration: most of the readers reaching Lingam through Linga are not then going to Linga (disambiguation)[1]. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:20, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - Lingam gets 38,922 views but the others get 5,239[[2]][[3]]. Also note that not everyone who lands incorrectly necessarily goes to the DAB, some go back to the search box or Google etc. Google, Images and Books do mainly return results for object but seem to often use a prefix or suffix, I still weakly agree that for "Linga" there's no clear primary topic but there might still be by PT#2. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - Linga (disambiguation) gets 1/10th as many views as Linga, but in my experience such a ratio does not demonstrate a clear primary topic, and more often that not it's actually indicative of the absence of one (if that sounds surprising, see Wikipedia:Pageviews and primary topics and its talk page). Also clarifying that the closer is not expected to fix dablinks (though of course they're welcome to help). – Uanfala (talk) 11:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per JHunterJ, Lingam is a clear primary topic in terms of mass views. Lingam also has long-term significance. --Ab207 (talk) 20:25, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Remember we're discussing the primary topic for "Linga" not "Lingam". "Linga" in terms of the islands means "Heather island". Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:36, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- But linga is a very common name for the symbol, probably almost as common as lingam. – Uanfala (talk) 22:17, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Just perusing the usage within Lingam indicates how much Linga is used to refer to that topic. So the current PRIMARYREDIRECT makes sense. Also per JHunterJ and Ab207 and nothing persuasive in Support. —В²C ☎ 05:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
