Paxos (disambiguation) → Paxos – Paxos redirects to Paxi, as the name of one of the two islands described in that atricle, However, I can't see a clear primary topic. A search on Google Books seems to throw up comparable numbers of results for either topic (with a noticeable preponderance for the island). The pageviews for the computer science topic are around 3.5 times higher than for the island, but that's not enough for that to be promoted as the primary topic – it may be an established concept at present but it's uncertain how it would compare against the inherited historical significance of the island. – Uanfala (talk) 17:34, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete the disambiguation page. The status quo is that the island is the primary topic (WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, and I see no reason to change that, but the disambiguation page is improperly formatted and should be deleted per WP:ONEOTHER. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination and Shhhnotsoloud. No need for "(disambiguation)". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:24, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * would you be able to clarify whether you support the nomination, which entails moving Paxos (disambiguation) to Paxos, or Shhhnotsoloud's proposal, which is for deleting Paxos (disambiguation) and leaving Paxos a redirect to Paxi? – Uanfala (talk) 14:16, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * My apologies for the unclear vote. Since the dab page also contains the section header "See also" which lists Paxo, I support retention of the dab page minus the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)", per nomination. The hatnote at Paxi, ""Paxos" redirects here. You may be looking for Paxos (computer science)." may be likewise deleted. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:21, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
