Pirkka (magazine) → Pirkka
Pirkka → Pirkkalaiset

– Pirkka is currently a redirect to Birkarls with no incoming links to the redirect. The corresponding Finnish article is named fi:Pirkkalaiset and not "Pirkka" or "Pirkat". The article about Birkarls does not even mention "Pirkka" or "Pirkat" but just "Pirkkalaiset" and "Pirkkamiehet". Also Pirkka is a Finnish male first name. Therefore I would suggest a topic with an actual article would be the primary topic instead of a redirect. JIP | Talk 07:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - it's a magazine named after something else, and there's no absolute majority topic in English Google Books. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:32, 23 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Opppose The Pirkka consumer brand (this magazine is by the same company) seems as relevant as this, so not sure if the magazine should be in the main space. --Pudeo ' 00:26, 26 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Comment: I agree it's not a good idea to move Pirkka (magazine) to Pirkka, seeing as it's not a primary topic, as the consumer brand and the male first name also exist. But my main point is to move Pirkka away from a redirect to Birkarls, seeing as (1) it doesn't have any incoming links, (2) the spelling "Pirkka" is hardly even mentioned on either the English article or the Finnish article, so it's even less a primary topic. Maybe make Pirkka a disambiguation page? JIP | Talk 19:25, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Disambiguation page sounds fine. --Pudeo ' 22:54, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
