Requested move 22 September 2015
[edit]- 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. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: no consensus. No agreement about whether there's a primary topic or not, so we default to the status quo, which means leaving this page where it is. Ikshvaku (Hinduism) will be moved back to Ikshvaku. Jenks24 (talk) 11:37, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Ikshvaku (disambiguation) → Ikshvaku – After moving Ikshvaku to Ikshvaku Hinduism this page should be moved to Ikshvaku as discussed in Talk:Ikshvaku dynasty. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 12:53, 22 September 2015 (UTC) Relisted.

- Note. I closed this as moved because it had been unopposed for several weeks, but it has been contested on my talk page so I'm re-opening it and giving it a relist. Jenks24 (talk) 08:51, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose. I don't believe there is a genuine need for disambiguation. Rishabha is a common name, and the alternative name Ikshvaku that he is supposed to have had is not well-sourced. In fact, there are Jaina texts that say that Rishabha was born in the Ikshvaku dynasty of Ayodhya.[1] The collection edited by Wendy Doniger[2] has over 20 mentions of Rsabha but no occurrence of Ikshvaku. So, I don't think there is a genuine problem here. On the other hand, moving Ikshvaku to a disambiguation page will create a lot of problems within Wikipedia because there are some 40 wikilinks to it, and perhaps more will appear in future. - Kautilya3 (talk) 23:22, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
