Nagari (disambiguation) → Nagari – per WP:MALPLACED, to move the (disambiguation) to title, where the title Nagari is pointing to another disambig page. Vin09 (talk) 07:00, 10 December 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 04:07, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose: as things are at present the redirect from Nagari is to Devanagari (which is not a disambiguation page and shows no signs in recent history of having been one, or the page having been moved), and has been so for all but 3 days since it was created in June 2015. To move the dab page would require an earlier decision that "Devanagari" is not the Primary Topic for "Nagari", which would be a "Redirects for Discussion". The dab at Nagari (disambiguation) is not malplaced, and the nomination is misleading. PamD 09:57, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD:It was redirected on THIS basis. Nagari doesn't mean devnagari. Devanagari is a script.--Vin09 (talk) 09:59, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthony Appleyard: - probably on your watchlist as you were involved in June, but just in case. @Vin09: Note that pinging only works if you get the name right! I'm not an expert in this field, but do a lot of dab page work and stand by my statement above. I'll leave the content battles to experts, but you can't, at present, call this a malplaced dab page and claim that it redirects to a dab page, because it isn't and doesn't. Your diff shows an undoing of an edit of yours which would have made a malplaced dab page. There's obviously a lot of background. Just to comment: it's not relevant that "Devanagari is a script": what matters is what most readers will be looking for when they search for "Nagari". If most of them will be looking for the script called Devanagari, also known as Nagari, then that script is the Primary Topic. PamD 10:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Sorry for false username, corrected it. As far as I know Nagari is a settlement. Its upto admins on what they decide is right. Cheers!--Vin09 (talk) 10:13, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Moderate support look at Google Books and see why, I was surprised but User:Vin09 has a valid point. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:36, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nagari (disambiguation) → Nagari – Nagari is currently a redirect to Devanagari, and even though that script is indeed sometimes called "Nagari", the term more commonly refers to other scripts (particularly the ancient Nāgarī script, but also some of its modern descendants like Sylheti Nagari). There are several other major meanings listed on the dab page, so it's pretty clear there is no primary topic here. – Uanfala (talk) 00:33, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
