Comment[edit]

Moved the original page to Mandela, Massachusetts and pointed this redirect to Nelson Mandela instead. Jxan3000 13:54, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

Should Mandela redirect directly to Nelson Mandela?[edit]

I propose that Mandela should redirect to Nelson Mandela by default, and there should be a link to this disambiguation page from there. Park3r (talk) 15:37, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mandela → Mandela (disambiguation) — Mandela should redirect to Nelson Mandela. Winnie Mandela became known because of her marriage to Nelson. Most of the other items are derivatives of Nelson Mandela's life, with the exception of two small villages. See the case of Gandhi, which points to Mohandas Gandhi, even though there were other persons with the name, including 2 Prime Ministers of India, and other members of a major political family. It is almost certain that most people who look for Mandela will be searching for Nelson Mandela (Primary Topic). --Park3r (talk) 16:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support None of the alternatives seem significant contenders to Nelson's primary-topic-hood.--Cybercobra (talk) 04:55, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support, Nelson Mandela is the clear primary meaning of 'Mandela'. I just went through and fixed all the dab links at Mandela; almost all were intended to point to 'Nelson Mandela'. -France3470 (talk) 19:24, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support, just as "Churchill" leads to Winston Churchill. Asav (talk) 20:11, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
