Talk:Martha (disambiguation)

Attempted redirect to Martha of Bethany

For some reason, User:StAnselm insists on re-directing a generic name to one biblical figure. That makes no more sense than if some other user wanted to re-direct the page to Martha Washington. Every other common name, when typed into a wikipedia search bar, goes to a name page, and those pages often have lists of notable people who have that name. The name Martha is certainly no different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArchieOof (talk • contribs) 05:33, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

There are good arguments for Martha of Bethany having the primary name. For one thing she is really (apart from the opera perhaps) the only likely thing someone searching on plain "Martha" is looking for. If people want Martha Agerich they will search for that. Your move without any discussion was clearly against process. Is Martha that common? Not really. Certainly less so that say David (and don't change that without following process).
