Talk:Henshin (disambiguation)

topic primarity

“ 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)

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)

Henshin (disambiguation) → Henshin – Editors have for years said that the hentai manga is not the primarytopic. I wouldn't know, but since it's a common complaint I believe it's worth brining up. Rose Abrams (T C L) 20:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

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)

WP:DOIT – that someone could be you. But until then, in lieu of a primarytopic article, the disamb should occupy that title. Rose Abrams (T C L) 07:06, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I already have several irons in the fire. Someone else can proceed with it -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 03:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

• 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)
