UWA (disambiguation) → UWA – Nominated at incorrect venue, Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 October 20#UWA, Cfls's rationale was University of Western Australia is not the primary topic. Thepharoah17 (talk) 17:46, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

• Thank you Thepharoah17.
  The current redirect from UWA to University of Western Australia needs global perspectives. In Australia, UWA primarily refers to the University of Western Australia. However, in the United States, any Google search will almost always result in the University of West Alabama. The abbreviation "UWA" should be redirected to a disambiguation page for the sake of global perspectives, rather than serving a specific country or region, which Wikipedia does not intend to do.

Support. There is a long-standing precedent supporting the proposed change and the rationale is sound. Jace Aotearoa AU (talk) 10:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

• Support. No primary redirect. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:31, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
