Oppose. There is only one article with the name Courting so disambiguation is not necessary. The redirect was little used, and had fewer page views than the band page ([1]), and that mostly via some piped links which have been replaced with links directly to Courtship, so there will now be even fewer readers going to Courting looking for Courtship. The handful of readers who may be looking for Courtship via Courting are served by a hat note pointing them in the correct direction. If the Courting redirect is restored then a hatnote should be placed on Courtship directing readers to the band article. Or a discussion on if Courting should become a disamb page. So some readers will come upon some form of redirect - and Wikipedia's own figures show that the majority of those looking for Courting are looking for the band, so the current situation has the least disruption to the most people.

Support, "courting" means courtship per common name and long-term historical significance. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support the fact there were links intended for Courtship suggests the band isn't primary anyway. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:32, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There is only one article with the name Courting because we chose the title Courtship, not because there is no other (primary) topic for the word. Srnec (talk) 23:56, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
