On 17 March 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Henshin. The result of the discussion was not moved.
Lithopsian moved page Henshin to Henshin (disambiguation): move this unhelpful and overly long dab page out of the way so that the primary topic redirect can be reinstated [1]
”
I doubt that the ShindoL comic book is the primary topic, as it is published as "Metamorphosis" and "Emergence" in English, while fan translations use "Henshin". Further a cursory Google search shows no such prominence of the ShindoL work [2], indeed the Jakarta restaurant in Gama Tower shows a large number of hits, as does tokusatsu (ie. Power Rangers style fiction) and magical girl (ie. Sailor Moon style fiction) uses. It's even used as a command "Henshin!" to activate the superhero transformation. -- 65.92.246.43 (talk) 14:42, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is a process for this: WP:RFD at the redirect you want to replace. Discussion here is unlikely to attract much attention, but having the article as a reference for discussion is useful. You could also pose the question at WP:RM since you already have the dab page ready to go. Note a previous discussion, which concerned a somewhat generic definition of "Henshin" and resulted in it getting removed. Lithopsian (talk) 21:47, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is there is no article on the primary topic, magical transformation between normal persona and superpowered persona, in manga and anime. (ie. analogous to Clark Kent entering a phone booth and coming out as Superman. That event in the phone booth is the "henshin";;; ie2. that glitzy thing that happens when the school girls transform into Sailor Moon magical girls) Someone should write an article on that. -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 04:34, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. As noted above, no other target exists, and the disambiguatino page doesn't seem to disambiguate very much of note for readers. Best to keep the PTOPIC as is, and a change can be considered if and only if an actual alternative target emerges. — Amakuru (talk) 15:55, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
