Merge?[edit]

Possibly merge to Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum#Daughters, as the bulk of the information is relevant to that article.
Alternately, expand the family page, Al Maktoum to include non-ruling members, making the current "Members" section into "Ruling members", and creating a separate "Other members" section below it. All of the title on the draft page could then be included in that article as referenced. bd2412 T 16:29, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are other women named Latifa in Maktoum clan who are not daughters of Sheikh Mohammed, this disambiguation page was setup in 2018 to cast light on other women of same age and name as there were propaganda attempts to suggest Latifa_bint_Mohammed_Al_Maktoum didn't exist and her elder sister with same name was paraded around as diversion.

I suggest we leave it alone. Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum is a hot topic just now [1] with many readers searching for the right article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move to make way for redirect to primary topic[edit]

A Google search for "Latifa Al Maktoum" indicates that the primary topic for this phrase is Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum. All of the hits on the first page of Google results are for her. I therefore propose:

First, move Latifa Al Maktoum to Latifa Al Maktoum (disambiguation).
Then redirect Latifa Al Maktoum to Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum.

That way, Latifa Al Maktoum will redirect to the primary topic, and Latifa Al Maktoum (disambiguation) will serve for disambiguation. Tim Smith (talk) 08:50, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tim Smith: The process for requesting the sort of page move you propose here is at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Please be sure to use the multimove template there. BD2412 T 22:21, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is the multimove template the right one to use? I am only proposing one move (step 1 above). Step 2 is just changing a redirect target. In the multimove template, current1 and current2 would be the same (Latifa Al Maktoum), so I am not sure it makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!

@Tim Smith: I've gone ahead and done it WP:BOLDly with a judgement that the allocation of primary topic is clear and not controversial. Of course, if I'm wrong the move can be reverted or reviewed. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, not done, because the page has indefinite protection. Would you be prepared to lift that @BD2412:? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have reduced it to autoconfirmed, and removed the move restriction. BD2412 T 17:51, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BD2412: I think you made a slip: the log says "18:41, 24 February 2021 BD2412 talk contribs changed protection level for Latifa Al Maktoum [Edit=Require administrator access] (indefinite) [Move=Require administrator access] (indefinite)" and I can't move it. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It should be good to go now. BD2412 T 16:49, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
