Talk:Look East policy (India)

Untitled
Other countries also had or have their Look East Policies: Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia... There should be either a disambiguation or the scope of this article should be broader. Currently it is only about India.--88.73.36.175 (talk) 17:00, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Renaming
As noted above, several countries have Look East policies. The term was first coined by Malaysia in 1983, followed India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia etc. The title of this article should be Indian Look East policy. This other page, Act East policy, the term used by the new BJP government, should be merged here as well.--Rainmaker23 (talk) 23:53, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Look East policy (India) → Look East policy – As per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. No other Wikipedia article exists. – Filpro (talk) 02:35, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:01, 5 August 2016 (UTC)


 * See discussion in sections above. (If move accepted, first move Look East policy to Look East policy (disambiguation).) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:01, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
 * As it stands now, the disambiguation page can be deleted per WP:TWODABS. —  AjaxSmack  22:47, 5 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose: There is now Look East policy (Bangladesh). The dab page also hints at the likelihood that further topics are likely to appear. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:26, 5 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. "Look East" is almost always used in the context of India.  (See these google Books results.)  Also support per procedural reasons as the target was the title until this undiscussed move a few days ago.  —  AjaxSmack   22:45, 5 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This is a tricky one, but I think it just scrapes in as no primary topic because there is already more than one article, so diambiguation does arise, and it's not much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined, to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. And that's a good result in the light of the expectation of other articles... Yes I mind wp:ball, but note the references in the DAB, this is a bit different.

 * Oppose – Editors should work on writing a broad-concept article at Look East policy instead. In the meantime, the dab page is fine, acting as a stub for this concept. — JFG talk 04:58, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
