On 13 May 2024, it was proposed that this article be
moved to
Namboothiri. The result of
the discussion was no consensus.
Requested move 13 May 2024
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.
Support Nambudiri has 4,182 views but the artist has 420, Unnikrishnan Namboothiri has 1,259 and Sreelatha Namboothiri has 1,120[
[1]] so its unlikely there is a primary topic for this term as the current target has other names meaning the number of people looking for it as opposed to the uses on the DAB using this name is not likely to be more. Crouch, Swale (

Weak oppose:
Nambudiri is not a "see other" topic, contra Roman Spinner. Namboothiri is another transliteration for Nambudiri. The surname is specifically a
caste title. While Crouch, Swale makes a fine point about Nambudiri having other spellings, the pageviews for the other topics should also be discounted as mere
partial title matches except to the extent they are referred to mononymously. The only one that appears to be known mononymously by Namboothiri is
Namboothiri (artist), but even he is generally instead called "Artist Namboothiri" in sources.
Nambudiri already
provides disambiguation from group to members by including a section on
notable people therein.

Oppose. I disagree with the assertion that there's no primary topic. And I'm baffled as to why
Namboothiri (artist) isn't on the disambiguation page: I added it.
