The current dedication main page is mostly a series of redirects; each section starts with a link to a full article on the referenced topic. The page summary for Dedication that exists does not address the overall concept, instead addressing the contents of one of the sub-pages. I have requested that the disambiguation page be moved to the mainspace page. This page needs to be dispositioned; if it is to move somewhere else it needs substantial help.

• Withdraw AfD Keep without prejudice, and move to Dedication (ritual). (If someone wants to open a new AfD after that, go for it). —siroχo 04:23, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm not going to withdraw the AfD. It's a reasonable suggestion, and voting to Keep (without prejudice to future AfD after a move) does the same thing while hopefully provoking additional relevant discussion. Darker Dreams (talk) 07:01, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Alright I've updated to a keep !vote. My main motivation here is to facilitate your good idea of moving the disambiguation page to improve navigation. —siroχo 07:16, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep under the new title once the move is complete. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 12:21, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• By all means move, but then keep under the new title. The article occupies a valuable middle-space between detailed articles on each specific ritual, and a mere unexplained list of rituals as would come from a traditional dab page. It is valuable to have an overview of the diversity of dedication rituals that exist. Elemimele (talk) 20:19, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Keep but move under the new proposed title. -- StarryNightSky11 ☎ 20:56, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a notable topic and useful summary overview but move to Dedication (ritual) as proposed above to make way for disambiguation page, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 18:27, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
