This is the best hard redirect on Wikipedia, bar none.

Disambiguation

Wikipedia is not a compendium of in-jokes.

Ah, but in this case, the joke is appropriate. Don't make me have to cite the numerous times in popular culture where people have stated something to the effect of "Wikipedia = The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". --70.252.13.214 19:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Harmless → Harmless (disambiguation) – Move to redirect this title to Harm, as "Harmless" is merely absent harm, and is therefore defined by harm. BD2412 T 14:35, 13 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. BegbertBiggs (talk) 12:00, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure that this disambiguation page needs to exist at all, given that not one of the articles linked here is for something named "Harmless". See WP:PTM. 162 etc. (talk) 18:19, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I would rather keep the disambiguation page. There are at least some terms on the page that could commonly be abbreviated to "Harmless". BD2412 T 00:59, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WikiNav doesn't render for this, there's too little traffic: 43 searches and 11 empty referers in August, 35 and 14 in September, 27 and 11 in October plus 12 internal. Harm is already the first link in the article, though. Do we think the readers are missing it somehow? Redirecting this sounds like a bit of a WP:NOTDICT situation. --Joy (talk) 09:27, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose If someone is searching for "harmless", they obviously do not want "harm" and it would be patronizing to redirect people there. The exception is if the disambiguation page is entirely unmerited, which may be the case, in which case I still oppose. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:03, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Safety would seem to be another option. If the disambiguation page were determined to be unwarranted, the resulting redirect would be to the only exact match, Demon Music Group. That doesn't seem like an improvement. Dekimasuよ! 04:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I'm honestly not sure what the (small handful of) people who search for "harmless" are looking for, but I'm not convinced they're more likely to find it at Harm than on the dab page. I suspect the link to Wiktionary is more useful than anything else we can provide. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
