Loml vs Love of My Life

The most commonly associated use of this abbreviation is the internet slang, which isnt covered in an article. I'm very certain nobody is referring to any of the articles in the disambiguation page.

A quick google search will show the internet slang and several other songs titled Loml.

Furthermore none of the articles in that disambiguation page are officially abbreviated Loml. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 08:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the Wiktionary, it defines it as an abbreviation for Love Of My Life. Also, just because it isn't covered in an article, does not mean that we discredit that it is the most common use. There are also no mentions of the term "ilyt" as "I Love You Too", yet it is widely recognised and so redirects to I Love You Too. Txmb (talk) 00:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see your disagreement as a misunderstanding of what Wikipedia disamb pages are for. You have a point in that Loml (track) isn't the only interpretation for Loml. However Loml (abbreviation) redirecting to Love of my life raises its own inconsistencies.

Take IDGAF for example (just flew across my empty brain this afternoon); it's a disamb page for article names LDGAF. The phrase IDGAF is a separate disamb page for articles using the phrase. Note I Don't Give a Fuck without "(disambiguation)" behind is an article.

The page [Love of My Life]] is for comfortable navigation for similarly-titled topics, not by definition on Wiktionary. No other articles on Wikipedia uses the title Loml hence a disamb page currently is useless. Redirecting Loml is not something I can justify on the basis that it's abbreviation of a longer phrase Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 04:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think another option is to delete the redirect altogether. Whilst your arguement can be just argued, mine can also be justly argued. The Taylor Swift song is unknown outside of people who aren't fans of Taylor Swift so it questions the most commonly used rule. Another option is find some unbiased editors, argue our sides and see what they say. Txmb (talk) 12:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't see this comment, opinions from unbiased editors would be a great option. AskeeaeWiki, there was a discussion here which didn't reach an agreement. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 18:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
