Cixi → Cixi (disambiguation) – Empress Dowager Cixi is indisputably primary topic Prisencolin (talk) 17:18, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). TonyBallioni (talk) 00:02, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Prisencolin: probably better to discuss before creating a primary topic. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:02, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would tend to agree but Cixi is a pretty large city. — AjaxSmack 22:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. In English, it is the empress. Also, 2DABS applies. Srnec (talk) 23:32, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I would prefer Tzeki for the city and Tzu Hsi for the Empress, but I know that will never happen. I have no opinion on this RM. Genealogizer (talk) 15:44, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The question here is not what is the best choice of name for the article about the city and the article about the empress. The question is what people should find when they look for "Cixi". —BarrelProof (talk) 23:58, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support but put a hatnote on Empress Dowager Cixi. — AjaxSmack 01:47, 13 June 2017 (UTC) Redirect instead of moving per User:BarrelProof, i.e. WP:TWODABS. — AjaxSmack 04:07, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect instead of moving: A city of 1.5 million people is a pretty important thing, but readers seem to be looking for the article about the empress dowager much more often than the one about the city. That would seem to be a remark in favor of this move, but I notice that there are only two topics here, so we can just redirect the current name to the article about the empress dowager without moving it. We don't need a dab page. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:58, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
