Bidaai (1974 film) → Bidaai
Bidaai → Bidaai (disambiguation)

– No other Wikipedia page with this exact title. The title of the TV series has an altogether different spelling. Oracle of Delhi 15:28, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Bidaai (1974 film) → Bidaai; there is already a hatnote there to Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai; delete Bidaai (disambiguation). A disambiguation page is not required. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:50, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Sapna_Babul_Ka...Bidaai has a much larger page-view count than the film, so I doubt there's a primary topic between the two. The rationale "no other Wikipedia page with this exact title" is not based in policy. As long as "Bidaai" can refer to the other topic, and no evidence has been presented that it can't, then WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT applies. Overall I think a disambiguation page is still best, unless firm evidence is presented to the contrary. — Amakuru (talk) 16:48, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bidaai (film) → Bidaai – The only other title in Bidaai is Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai. The dab page can be deleted since it violates WP:PTM; a hatnote can be added here instead. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:34, 2 September 2021 (UTC) Kailash29792 (talk) 04:34, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support The situation is better solved with a hatnote than a dab page. -- Ab207 (talk) 14:58, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lennart97: did you not see my comment above? The page Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai has consistently much higher page views than the 1976 film, so there isn't a primary topic here. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 08:01, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Amakuru: I did, but I found the argument that the series isn't called Bidaai convincing, combined with a lack of opposition in this particular discussion − the consensus so far was clearly move and any other closure by me would have been a supervote. But I'm happy to revert and reopen the discussion if you'd like to add to it. Lennart97 (talk) 08:11, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  @Lennart97: thanks for your reply. I guess if you feel it's the right move, then I'll not object, we can leave it as is. THanks — Amakuru (talk) 11:27, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
