• Busing (disambiguation) → Bus (disambiguation)  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Following the RfD for Bussing, that page was made into a disambiguation page.

Of note: busing redirects to Desegregation busing. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 12:06, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Retarget to dab page at Bussing, which explicitly includes "Busing" as well as "Bussing" and has several entries for each spelling.

• Retarget to A Soldier's Oath. I accept the nominator's deletion rationale but think we might repurpose these rather than deleting. I considered disambiguation, since we have other topics that could be described as soldiers' oaths (e.g., Polish Army oaths, United States Armed Forces oath of enlistment), but I'm skeptical that many would be called simply "Soldier's Oath" alone. -- BDD ( talk) 18:26, 5 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Rename Article, Disambiguate and/or Keep Redirect Wikipedia is the first place where I've seen this called "the Hitler Oath"; I've always seen it referred to as the Soldiers' (or Soldier's) Oath. [For example, an early chapter of Peter Calvocoressi's and Guy Wint's well-known Total War (Pantheon & Penguin, 1972) is entitled "From Versailles to the Soldiers' Oath: 1919-34".] So my own prejudice would be towards renaming the article itself as either the Soldier's or the Soldiers' Oath (with a redirect from "Hitler Oath"). But, although I share BDD's scepticism, it's plausible that this might confuse those seeking other military oaths, so a disambiguation page might also be a good solution. What would not be reasonable is to just delete the whole redirect, which would leave others who (like me) have only known this as the Soldiers' Oath without a clue. —— Shakescene ( talk) 05:50, 8 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Shakescene: Thanks. Could you for now add a mention of this term to the article, citing your sources? Then the redirect would be unproblematic and I'd be happy to withdraw nomination and add a "redirect" hatnote to point to the film. You could then open a "Requested move" discussion to get the article renamed though anything in this area is probably likely to be contentious and take some time! Pam D 06:47, 8 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Additional comment: I only now clicked through the link of User:BDD to find that A Soldier's Oath was the name of a silent film and a (currently-stub) Wikipedia article about it. To my mind this would be just as legitimate a target as Hitler Oath, so a disambiguation page would be justified save for the rule that eschews disambiguation pages where the alternatives number only two (in which case, editors are supposed to magically choose the more primary one with a hatnote directing those seeking the other article; something I resisted in the case of Greater New York and Greater New York City where I think the two targets are equally valid). Perhaps as BDD suggests, a disambiguation page could also include other soldiers' oaths. ¶ This also raises the question of how to distinguish the two articles, e.g. "A Soldier's Oath (film)" vs "Soldiers' Oath (ceremony)". —— Shakescene ( talk) 05:32, 9 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• @ Shakescene: Three points:

1. you seem to misunderstand the position about dab pages: if neither use of a term is considered "Primary" then a dab page at a term with two meanings is perfectly OK - see Margaret Cookesley as an example. (The pages which get jumped on for deletion are those where there is a primary topic "Jane Bloggs" and a single disambiguated topic "Jane Bloggs (astronaut)", where a dab page is not needed as a hatnote on the primary topic article does the job.
2. Creating a dab page doesn't solve the problem: if "Soldier's Oath" is not mentioned in the Hitler Oath article, then a dab page entry is likely to be ruled out as inappropriate. If the term is used, and you have sources to show so, then add it to the article.
3. You can draw someone's attention to a post by using {{ ping}} (also known as "Reply to", "Yo", and various other names). Just put {{ping|PamD|BDD}}, for example, in a post which you then sign, and we will be notified. No need to run around to different user talk pages. Makes life easier all round!

Target is a stub so hardly anything is present there; I've just expanded it based on .pl and .de versions (also stubs, hardly longer).
