• Sarim → Sarim (political faction)Sarim (political faction)
• Sarim (disambiguation) → Sarim

– This move request is a continuation of the discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 June 16#Sarim. The claim in that discussion is that there is no primary topic for the term "Sarim". I am neutral. Steel1943 (talk) 02:25, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

• I created the dab page the other day. Normally, in borderline cases I tend to assume absence of a primary topic and if I err then it's usually on the side of dabbing at the main title, but I don't think this is such a situation here. Sarim is a long and venerably old article about a faction that was apparently the major force in Korean politics for the last centuries of the pre-modern era, while the other two topics listed on the dab page are quite obscure: Sarim (dessert) is a stub created two days ago about one of very many Thai desserts, while Sarim (angel) is a redirect to a tiny mention in Song-Uttering Choirs, a group of angels in the Jewish apocrypha.

  • If Google search results can be taken as an indication, it seems that the Muslim name might actually be the most common use (though we don't have a general article or list on that). The Korean meaning doesn't even appear in the first seven pages of Google search results (apart from Wikipedia, with the locale set to the UK). This inclines me to thinking that it's too obscure to be the primary topic for English speakers. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:52, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
    • Yeah, the Korean faction is almost absent from the results in a web search, but so are our other topics. The things that do come up on google are things for which we don't have articles, and probably never will, so I don't think they're relevant here. – Uanfala (talk) 19:00, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Italicize?

Do we italicize "Sarim"? My guess is no, because it's the de facto official name of a political faction/movement, and not a generic class of people (e.g. yangban is italicized) toobigtokale (talk) 22:03, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
