My view is to follow your idea. However, whenever a proposal like this is made, there is usually objection. Examples: American, perhaps a better percentage lead to United States than 85%, but a redirect was strongly objected (discussion here); Turk, same thing (discussion here). So it's best to wait some time to get a collection of views. --Commander Keane 08:16, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
I relinked close to 150 disambiguated links to Hyderabad (not at a stretch though). As Gurubrahma noted most linked to Hyderabad, India, I think we should redirect Hyderabad to Hyderabad, India. --SwiftRakesh 11:49, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There was no need to redirect the article Hyderabad to Hyderabad, India The evidence provided here is devised as only Hyderbad, Pakistan was taken into account and the actual article was moved from there to Hyderabad, Sindh prior this discussion. Taken in consideration that Hyderabad, Sindh averages about 10 edits a day over the past few weeks (and I do not include bogus ones) rather Hyderabad, Pakistan which actually is a redirection page to the same, I would say that Hyderabad be redirected to Hyderabad (disambiguation). - Arun Reginald (talk) 13:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is not even 3 months and already more than 100 pages need to be disambiguated - most of them relating to Hyderabad, India. I'll wait for 15 days for additional comments on the discussion above. I do hope that the consensus would be towards making this link directy to Hyderabad, India. If no comments are forthcoming by the end of 15 days, I'll be bold and make the necessary changes. Thanks, --Gurubrahma 09:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You could use WP:RM. It gives 5 days for discussion, and more people will see the move mentioned - so it's more likely to attract comment.--Commander Keane 10:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the proposal was - unopposed move as no clear primary topic. Keith D (talk) 11:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't we move this DAB back to Hyderabad?, I think it's best that Hyderabad unqualified be the DAB page. Hyderabad, India isn't the Hyderabad.
Why has Hyderabad been redirected to Hyderabad, India without proper discussion (barring the above from a few years ago)? Doing a search for Hyderabad India yields 670,000 679,000 results Whilst Hyderabad Pakistan has 349,000 325,000 results
So Hyderabad, India has almost twice as many results, however 449,000 of these are from Indian websites
I agree! The page should be moved I think that you are absolutely right. I remember, this used to be the case with this DAB earlier on and I had to move it to Hyderabad so that it redirects under the rules presented in Wikipedia talks about city names. It is utterly against the rules and general best practices to redirect an ambiguous city name to a specific city. If such names do exist they need to first land on the disambiguation page first. - Arun Reginald (talk) 13:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Statistics updated I just realized while updating the statistics that Hyderabad Sindh is gaining popularity by tens of thousands while Hyderabad India only increased a mere fraction of that amount. I have stroked out the previous statistics and written new ones besides them - Arun Reginald (talk) 11:51, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this link should be here. It just seems wrong. I don't know anything about India though, so I won't "be bold" here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pipatron (talk • contribs) 08:17, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Hyderabad, India which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 03:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
