• Candace → Candace (bug)
• Candace (disambiguation) → Candace

– Candace was a long-standing redirect to Kandake that was recently turned into an article for the insect genus. I don't think the insect genus is the primary topic; if anything has a claim to primary topic, it's probably Candace (given name). Move the disambiguation page to the base title and disambiguate the insect genus. (bug) is the most commonly used disambiguation term for insects in the order Hemiptera (the "true bugs").

• Move Candace → Candace (insect), support 2nd. Theparties (talk) 22:27, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
• Support. There are six entries listed upon the Candace (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the two-sentence stub delineating Candace is primary over the combined notability of the remaining five entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:44, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
• Mostly done Comments above noted: since I set-up the taxon, Candace (bug) created (standardised dab), with links updated (higher tax., taxobox and Wikidata). Sorry for the inconvenience: I will leave it to others to decide where to redirect to - or make this the disambiguation page perhaps? Roy Bateman (talk) 02:30, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

  Strongly support move of disambiguation (with suggested new lay-out) to here: had "Candace" been a dab page, none of this would have been necessary. I think it is debatable which is the primary topic: but I do not accept that "alternative spellings" (frequently mis-spellings surely) should take precedence over names of organisms.

• Support Google mainly returns the name so no clear primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
• Support 1st, oppose 2nd. Restore the redirect. Do not fix links! The name qua name can be covered at Kandake, since the name as a name is best explained there, right in the lead, as indeed it is. Srnec (talk) 21:15, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
• Strongly support 1st, Strongly support 2nd per reasons listed by the nominator and others above — No clear primary topic, but it's definitely not the insect if there is one. Paintspot Infez (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

The insect genus is real, but only found in Africa (making it quite notable to an entomologist!). If I have understood correctly, there is unanimity that it is not the primary topic, so I am developing Candace (bug) for further explanation. There are also links to be considered there, not least for the automatic taxobox system. The issue to be resolved here is whether or not to turn this into the disambiguation page: my 2-pennyworth is also in favour – reasons given above. Roy Bateman (talk) 06:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• If others are in agreement, the Requested move notice should be altered to Candace (disambiguation) surely (to avoid further confusion). This would place the history (which goes back to 2007) appropriately and go to a redirect page. Roy Bateman (talk) 07:40, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
