Talk:Mongolianism

variant of Mongolism
I suggest we change Mongolianism into a redirect to the disambig page Mongolism. This is partly based on the rationale at Redirects to disambiguation pages and the "Bill Cox" example which is somewhat similar to this case, partly based on the fact that the two terms are equally subject to ambiguous interpretation, and partly due to the fact that a search for Mongolism gets you to Down syndrome via a disambig page, and there's no reason Mongolianism shouldn't do the same.

Mongolianism was always a very rare variant of the now deprecated but once common term Mongolism. Even at its peak of popularity in the first half of the 20th century, Mongolianism was 10 to 100 times less frequent than Mongolism. Since 1960, Mongolianism has pretty much disappeared, and is about three orders of magnitude less frequent than Mongolism. Mongolism was once more prevalent than Down syndrome, but they switched places in 1980 and the latter is now 70 times more popular. On the same scale chart, Mongolianism flat-lines, so you have to boost it by a factor of 1000 to even see it. Mathglot (talk) 21:56, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
