BapuBapu (disambiguation) – Bapu should be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Mahatma Gandhi for all practical reasons. Other subjects with Bapu name are not even close to Gandhi in matter of notability Appu (talk) 13:23, 2 October 2021 (UTC) Appu (talk) 13:23, 2 October 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Vpab15 (talk) 15:05, 13 October 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. — DaxServer (talk) 13:34, 18 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Support, a recognized name for Mohandas Gandhi (i.e. the 1949 book Bapu), notable as to Gandhi for enduring historical significance. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:06, 18 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose I don't see this as unambiguous enough for an alternate name to be a primary-topic redirect. Google search gives plenty of results for Bapu (director), though Google Books search primarily finds books about Gandhi. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 23:31, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
