SaplingsSaplings (novel)WP:ASTONISH, DAB from Sapling, The Saplings and Saplings (Weeds). The novel has 51 views but the film has 22, the sculpture (which may be a PTM) has 23 and the plant has 246 despite is being a redirect, the target Tree has 51,580[[1]]. Google only returns one result for the novel, Images only returns the plant and Books returns the novel as the 1st result but only once it appears. By long-term significance the plant is clearly primary. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Bluelink patrol/Archive 2022 there were 13 links for the plant while there are now only 5 mainspace links which suggests despite the bias of the title being about the novel users still link to the plant more often. Either the title should become a DAB using the plural as there aren't any singular matches apart from the countable noun or the title can redirect to the same target as the singular.

Support per nominator. If I were to type in this term, I'd expect it to be a {{r from plural}} to the same place where we cover baby trees (i.e. having the same target as sapling). I'd potentially also be OK with a dab so as to overcrowding the article hatnotes on tree, but that sort of thing is secondary to the conclusion that this article ought be moved. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We could create a DAB page at Saplings (disambiguation) since as noted all the other uses are plural which would then mean we could just use 1 hatnote. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:04, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
