Sent → Sent, Switzerland – No primary topic for this common word. There's basically already a disambiguation page in hatnotes here. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 17:22, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question What are you proposing the target for "Sent" be? Rreagan007 (talk) 18:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Rreagan007: Sorry to be unclear. Sent to be disambiguation page. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 21:56, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only other article I see with the same title is Sent (novel). A DAB page for only 2 articles seems a little unnecessary when you can just have a hatnote at the top of each article pointing to the other. Rreagan007 (talk) 22:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rreagan007: Also everything else currently in hatnotes: SENT (protocol), misspelling of Scent, wiktionary sent, plus Sent M'Ahesa. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 22:19, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Wikipedia is not a dictionary and does not need to set aside space for dictionary definitions. There is no other major alternate primary topic. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:50, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Disambiguation works better for such terms. I'd do the same for Nice. Dicklyon (talk) 00:32, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. There is also Dutch economist Esther-Mirjam Sent, by the way. BD2412 T 02:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: I have gathered the hits together at Sent (disambiguation), which can be swapped for this title. There are enough possibilities to convince me rather solidly on this one. BD2412 T 02:30, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, Support moving Sent (disambiguation) to Sent as well. Dicklyon (talk) 02:47, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Again, none of these are possible primary topics. SENT falls under WP:DIFFCAPS. Sent (novel) is not notable. Esther-Mirjam Sent is not notable enough to be known on a last name basis, and would fall under WP:PTM. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:39, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Zxcvbnm: Esther-Mirjam Sent appears to have a substantial publication history; I don't think it is at all clear that she is less notable by that name than a former place in Switzerland. In any case, all of these are frankly drowned out by the common use of the word as the past tense of "send". WP:DICT doesn't require that we turn a blind eye to the overwhelmingly most common meaning of a word. Compare Went, Wrote. BD2412 T 04:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Wrote has a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT target; "sent" does not. For "went", primary appears to be the set index list of surnames, but there is only one person with the "sent" surname, so no list is merited. Therefore, this is not the same situation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom (and move the DAB page per above). 217.180.228.138 (talk) 03:18, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
