Moved per consensus garnered below. Seems to be ample reason to redirect KIA to its most common meaning as expressed in this survey. Kudos to all editors for your input, and Happy, Healthy Publishing! (nac by page mover) P.I. Ellsworth - ed. ^put'r there 11:52, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KIA → Kia (disambiguation) – Per WP:DABNAME, a word is preferred to an abbreviation. See similar discussion at Talk:ERA#Requested move 23 October 2021. 162 etc. (talk) 18:48, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I supported at ERA, but am not convinced here. Is "Kia" actually an English word? User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 20:22, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's a given name shared by many people at the dab page. I guess another option would be instead to split off Kia (name). 162 etc. (talk) 20:39, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK. If there isn't a (new) separate page for the name I agree this should be moved. Not sure which option I prefer, though I expect consensus will go for the originally proposed move. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 20:48, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Almost all the articles on the list are Kia, not KIA. KIA should redirect to Killed in action, its most common meaning. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:30, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
