Mind control (disambiguation) → Mind control – Mind control does not necessarily refer to brainwashing, which is specifically referring to a concept of semi-permanent mental manipulation. It can also fall under the banner of hypnosis, a temporary form of mind control, whether in reality or using fictional powers to do so and Manipulation (psychology), secretly messing with someone's mind. It can even include Brain–computer interface, controlling a computer with one's mind. Therefore, there is no clear primary topic for this term and it should not be a primary redirect. (As an addendum; the target page has history, so if the move goes through, it should probably be moved to something that still redirects to brainwashing) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:06, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Support especially given there are proper nouns even though we can somewhat discount them per WP:DIFFCAPS. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:03, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Support per nom and User:Crouch, Swale. The current redirect is overly specific, and not the overwhelming common meaning of the term, which is probably most prevalent in the fictional powers context, which is clearly not "brainwashing". BD2412 T 17:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
