Talk:Mappila (disambiguation)

Mappila Muslim is a subdivision among Mappila.

@Leschnei: Mappila is a term that is used to refer to different Malayalee religious communities with non-Indian origin. This term historically encompasses Nasrani Mappila, Yuda Mappila and Mappila Muslims. So the term Mappila should be used for disambiguation. However, there are more than a hundred articles currently linked with Mappila. Disambiguating all those articles is a difficult task. So we may keep the page Mappila as a redirect to article Mappila Muslims. With respect to this page, Mappila (disambiguation), all related topics are linked for disambiguation. Therefore it is basically illogical to link Mappila, since the page Mappila is a redirect page for Muslim Mappila. Muslim Mappila is already mentioned in this disambiguation page. Practically, it is just two links for the exact same article.Br Ibrahim john (talk) 02:31, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Br Ibrahim john: Thanks for the explanation and I see your point. It doesn't make sense to me to not have Mappila listed on the page, but I'm not sure of the best solution, so I'll leave it for better minds than mine! Leschnei (talk) 11:27, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
