Oppose speedy move this should be discussed. Why is "tum" the university? WP:DIFFCAPS -- 70.31.205.108 (talk) 15:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I found the request genuine and acted. I've reverted the move. ─ The Aafī ^{^(talk)} 15:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@70.31.205.108, why is "mit" MIT? Why is "ucla" University of California, Los Angeles? Because they are the primary topic. Just like WP:DIFFCAPS says: "The general approach is that whatever readers might type in the search box, they are guided as swiftly as possible to the topic they might reasonably be expected to be looking for". When users type in "tum", they are usually not looking for Tum, Poland or the Tumbuka language, as evident by the number of page views and other indicators. intforce (talk) 15:41, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"tum" is indicated as a synonym for stomach/belly. Yes, it is a child's word, but children use Wikipedia. Thus, it should have a discussion. -- 70.31.205.108 (talk) 17:02, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. "Tum" and "TUM" are different things. The university is clearly the primary topic for "TUM" but "Tum" or "tum" are not acronyms, they are words. JIP | Talk 15:40, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
