The result was Redirect to Abbess with a hatnote there. I noted that the articles Priest and Episcopalian Church do not cover the topic "Reverend Mother", but there's no reason to delete the page when simply redirecting it to the primary topic will have the same effect. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Reverend Mother

This is a WP:TWODABS page where one of the meanings offered has no real-world significance. I would delete this page, redirect the title to the real-world topic, Abbess, merge the content about the salutation there, and add a hatnote pointing to the article containing the science fiction usage.

 * Keep. This is also the courtesy title of a female priest. Bearian (talk) 15:49, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * So far as I can tell, that proposed meaning currently fails WP:DABMENTION with respect to links added to the page. Perhaps a better solution would be to redirect this title to Ecclesiastical titles and styles, which notes several uses of "Reverend Mother" (although these are indexed, and not ambiguous to one another).
