Naupactus

This disambiguation page should be redirected instead , per WP:TWODAB to Nafpaktos , which is clearly the primary topic. The hatnote in the article mentioned above should suffice Kostas20142 (talk) 12:32, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Naupactus (disambiguation). Several contributors in May 2017 have now expanded the DAB page, so I'm now voting to retain the DAB, but agreeing with User:Patar knight (below) that the best place for the DAB is at Naupactus (disambiguation). Redirect - to Nafpaktos, and keep the existing hatnote on the target article mentioning Naupactus (weevil). This is what I understand User:Kostas20142 to be proposing. In this way we avoid the need for a separate disambiguation page, which is what the Naupactus page is serving for currently. Naupactus and Nafpaktos are really the same thing (two different Romanizations of the same Greek word), so 'Naupactus' is not the best place for the DAB. Instead we should move the DAB to Naupactus (disambiguation). We could have Naupactus become a redirect to Nafpaktos. EdJohnston (talk) 02:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Restore redirect. Article has been a redirect to Nafpaktos, which has long had a hatnote pointing to Naupactus (weevil), since September 2015, when the article was moved to there. I don't see any reason to believe that the weevil genus, which article averages two views per day, is anywhere near significant enough to stop the town being the primary topic, and virtually all of the article-space links to Naupactus are intended for the town – in fact, I can't see a single one looking for the weevil (although, admittedly, the fact that this page historically has redirected to the town is probably a significant cause of this).

Move to Naupactus (disambiguation) and add Battle of Naupactus as a third entry, which solves the TWODABs problem. Then redirect to Nafpaktos per above, and update the hatnote. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 05:54, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep, although moving as Patar knight suggests is fine to do. "TWODABs" should not be used to get rid of dab pages once created, as here we go with additional entries coming up. --do ncr am 23:48, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Speedily moved to Naupactus (disambiguation), as there was no discussion or consensus to change the original redirect, nor any evidence presented for the absence of a primary topic. bd2412 T 20:12, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
