MisgivingsMisgivings (The Wire)WP:ASTONISH, redirect to doubts, fails the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC test for misgivings. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:23, 7 September 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 15:56, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It probably should be doubt, you are right. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:13, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What part of WP:NOTDICT is relevant to this RM? Doubt is clearly an encylopaedic topic, or nominate Doubt for deletion. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Someone seeking information about Doubt is not going to use a niche synonym like "misgivings" to search for it. The only reason someone would use that specific word as a search term would be if they didn't know what it meant - but WP:NOTDICT says that's not a problem Wikipedia is attempting to solve.

  • Oppose per above. As it stands, this is the sole encyclopedic topic with this title. Like I said at Talk:Unfulfilled, I'm not usually convinced by these proposed dictionary-esque redirects, especially when, like "Misgivings", the suggested target isn't even using the phrase that's being proposed as a redirect.

Same reply as above, What part of WP:NOTDICT is relevant to this RM? This is not a particle like Unfulfilled, misgivings are actually a real thing, with a synonym article, doubt. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
