Sephiroth (Final Fantasy) → Sephiroth – Now that the Sephiroth disambiguation page has now been redirected to Sefirot, I feel that the Final Fantasy character is now the primary topic. 50.100.44.234 (talk) 23:50, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sephiroth. 162 etc. (talk) 00:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per the above linked discussion. There is no primary topic between Sephiroth and Sefirot, and Sefirot wins out with real world influence. Disambiguation is still necessary since Sephiroth is not the primary topic for the name here. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per the above AfD discussion. There is a very good reason the page is disambiguated, and that's because a video game character is not the primary topic. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:47, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, I think the character is PRIMARY for this spelling variation. Page views and a quick google search confirm.--Ortizesp (talk) 15:05, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sephiroth is also a redirect to Sefirot and is a common spelling of Sefirot. Redirecting to this Sephiroth would cause confusion for those searching for Sefirot. You can find the discussion that led to this in the above linked AfD if you're curious of the thought process for it. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 15:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No it wouldn't, DAB would suffice. Ortizesp (talk) 18:26, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, creation of a DAB page is outside the bounds of this move discussion regardless, making that something for a different discussion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:29, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not, not even for this spelling variant is it primary. At best there should be a DAB page there, but there was consensus to make it a primary redirect. It's important to remember systemic bias caused by editors skewing to be younger males and often gamers who are familiar with FF7, compared to the encyclopedia's general visitors. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
