Dende (disambiguation) → Dende – Searching for "dende" on WP currently takes the reader directly to an article on a Japanese cartoon (List of Dragon Ball characters), to the section dedicated to a character named "Dende". This is a problem. Dendê is (evidently) the Portuguese word for palm, and "dendê oil" is palm oil. Penelope Cruz (playing a Brazilian character) mentions "dende oil" (spelled that way in the subtitles) in the English-language movie Woman on Top; because I'd never heard of it, I came here to find out what it is. It took me quite a bit of hunting to find that it's the same as palm oil. Searching WP for "dendê" correctly takes the reader to the Palm oil article. Because the character ê is not easy to type on an English language keyboard, "Dende" should be a dab page, giving the reader an opportunity to go to either of these two articles (or any others that may include "dende", "dendê" or any other spelling).

Support "dende is" in Google Scholar strongly suggests that the Brazilian palm oil is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here, with Dende in Botswana the secondary. But having said that this is a bit of an unusual request in that the disamb page doesn't exist yet, I suppose one way or another a dab is needed, so will proceed to make one.

Support making dende a dismabiguation page. I note "dende is" in Google Web Search strongly suggests that the Dragon Ball character is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC :) --Kusunose 09:27, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support: several uses, no indication that the fictional character is primary, but above all the point that if the "primary use" is a link to a section of an article it's difficult to provide a helpful link to the dab page for the other uses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PamD (talk • contribs) 15:28, 14 May 2013‎ (UTC)
- I don't remember where, but I saw a term redirecting to a section and the section has a hatnote to a disambiguation page. I added {{redirect|Dende}} to List_of_Dragon_Ball_characters#Dende for now. --Kusunose 01:09, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support making dende a disambiguation page as per nom. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 22:29, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support dab; I don't think there's a PRIMARYTOPIC that's head and shoulders over the others.. bobrayner (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with this move but it it is done could someone please create Dende (Dragon Ball) as a redirect to the character section Dende currently redirects to.--174.95.111.89 (talk) 02:46, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
