Bastard (law of England and Wales) → Bastard (law) – Although the term is specific to English and Welsh law, there are no other legal terms from which to disambiguate. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 13:12, 22 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 00:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Should this not be disambiguated from Colonial American bastardy laws? Graham (talk) 05:39, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You mean like renaming this to English and Welsh bastardy laws and turning Bastard (law) into a WP:BCA? –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 06:49, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I actually wasn't thinking that specifically. (I only meant to enquire as to whether you agree with my [and the other commenter's] inclination that the original proposal seems to just move this article to an ambiguous title. I hadn't thought much beyond that.) But I could definitely imagine a broad-concept article working at the title Bastard (law). And I think moving this article to a title in line with the colonial American one makes sense. What do you think? Graham (talk) 07:02, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm inclined to support a move to English and Welsh bastardy laws, in that case. Graham (talk) 05:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
