Sharanga (Hindu mythology) → Sharanga – WP:PRECISE. Sharanga was moved to Sharanga (Hindu mythology) and a disambig was created at Saranga. Besides the Hinduism article, it has only a red link – Redtigerxyz ^Talk 19:18, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:26, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Currently Saranga is a disambig page and Saranga redirects to Sharanga (Hindu mythology). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:26, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment there's a Sharanga in Russia, the capital of the Sharangsky District in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 05:43, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Şarânga is a village in Romania, and the surname of David Saranga -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 05:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saranga and Sharanga are different spellings. There is 1 blue link at the disambig. Sharanga in Russia is a red link currently. A google search follows [1] many searches deal with the bow, rather than the town. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:26, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The initial move should have been done through a consensus building process. Any determination in a WP:TWODABS case should require discussion, because it is a determination about the primacy of a topic. In any case, there is nothing here that can not be resolved with a hatnote. Both articles are short, so there is not even a likelihood of disruption for readers with slow servers. bd2412 T 17:12, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 8 August 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Participants were not convinced by the arguments laid out in the nomination; the WP:CONSISTENT argument was undercut by the fact that the title Śārṅgadeva is not actually aligned with the proposed title, and it was noted that IAST spellings are not frequently used for titling articles on Hindu mythology topics.

Sharanga → Sharnga – @Chronikhiles: Please restore my move for this page tfor the sake of maintaining consistency with other articles, Sharngadhara-paddhati and Sharngadeva, with the same spelling. Also the new title will reflect the IAST spelling accurately. I request you to restore my references which you have reverted in the article. Jeaucques (talk) 15:33, 8 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

Comment: That is not the spelling used in the title Śārṅgadeva (which was linked above as Sharngadeva). @Chronikhiles: You were intended to be pinged. SilverLocust 💬 20:05, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, the majority of articles on Hindu mythology do not conform to the IAST spelling, so this is not a compelling argument. Even then, the accurate spelling would be Śārṅga, not Sharnga. I don't see why this article needs to be an exception to the rule. As for the removed reference, most of the article employs wisdom library, which I have realised is not a reliable source. I will work on finding reliable ones to improve the article quality. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 02:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
