• Kavach (disambiguation) → Kavach
• Kavach → Kavach (anti-missile system)

– Lack of obvious primary topic. The TV show receives many more views than the missile system. Although pageviews aren't always determinative, I'm not sure under what basis the missile system would be considered the primary topic; Google Scholar results return a wide variety of topics most of which are not about the missile system.

• Support per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:45, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
• Support alternate move to Kavach (countermeasure) which seems to be the accepted disambiguation for it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

  I would also support that title. (t · c) buidhe 21:46, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

• Merge with RGB-60. I dont believe this article should exist. The Indian express article makes it clear that this is a Russian weapon locally built, see headline. Even the article refers it as RGB. So please merge it with RGB-60. As different models of a system are not independently notable. If the article is kept at different location, use Kavach (rocket).

  Venkat TL You make some good points but this discussion needs to happen on the talk page of the article you're seeking to merge (presently Talk:Kavach—this is a disambiguation page, which I don't think you're proposing to merge.) In the event of a merge, the article history would need to be preserved somewhere so I don't think it affects the move discussion. (t · c) buidhe 22:39, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

  @Buidhe posted here as I am only in partial agreement with the move proposal. Yes, Kavach should be disambiguation as proposed but the anti missile system is not a common disambiguator. Rocket is. Please note the RGB 60 is listed in the article List of military rockets for the same reason. Venkat TL (talk) 05:41, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

I have no opinion on the correct disambiguation whether it should be rocket or something else. (t · c) buidhe 06:43, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't either much though per Category:Weapons countermeasures may suggest Kavach (decoy) but that doesn't seem great. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:42, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. There are four entries listed upon the Kavach (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the renown of the Indian anti-missile naval decoy system is so widely held that it overshadows the combined notability of the remaining three entries. I would not oppose, however, any other proposed parenthetical qualifier, such as Kavach (countermeasure), per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ, Kavach (rocket), per Venkat TL or Kavach (decoy), per Crouch, Swale. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:52, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
• Support per nom. No clear primary topic here. BD2412 T 03:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
