Dende (disambiguation) → Dende – Searching for "dende" on WP currently takes the reader directly to an article on a Japanese cartoon (List of Dragon Ball characters), to the section dedicated to a character named "Dende". This is a problem. Dendê is (evidently) the Portuguese word for palm, and "dendê oil" is palm oil. Penelope Cruz (playing a Brazilian character) mentions "dende oil" (spelled that way in the subtitles) in the English-language movie Woman on Top; because I'd never heard of it, I came here to find out what it is. It took me quite a bit of hunting to find that it's the same as palm oil. Searching WP for "dendê" correctly takes the reader to the Palm oil article. Because the character ê is not easy to type on an English language keyboard, "Dende" should be a dab page, giving the reader an opportunity to go to either of these two articles (or any others that may include "dende", "dendê" or any other spelling).

• Support "dende is" in Google Scholar strongly suggests that the Brazilian palm oil is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here, with Dende in Botswana the secondary. But having said that this is a bit of an unusual request in that the disamb page doesn't exist yet, I suppose one way or another a dab is needed, so will proceed to make one.

• Support making dende a dismabiguation page. I note "dende is" in Google Web Search strongly suggests that the Dragon Ball character is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC :) --Kusunose 09:27, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support: several uses, no indication that the fictional character is primary, but above all the point that if the "primary use" is a link to a section of an article it's difficult to provide a helpful link to the dab page for the other uses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PamD (talk • contribs) 15:28, 14 May 2013‎ (UTC)
  • I don't remember where, but I saw a term redirecting to a section and the section has a hatnote to a disambiguation page. I added {{redirect|Dende}} to List_of_Dragon_Ball_characters#Dende for now. --Kusunose 01:09, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support making dende a disambiguation page as per nom. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 22:29, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
• Support dab; I don't think there's a PRIMARYTOPIC that's head and shoulders over the others.. bobrayner (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Any additional comments:

• I have no problem with this move but it it is done could someone please create Dende (Dragon Ball) as a redirect to the character section Dende currently redirects to.--174.95.111.89 (talk) 02:46, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
