This is an unneeded disambiguation page. There's only one entry for "sech". The others are all different spellings for different terms. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:10, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, none of the things listed is exactly a "Sech". Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:38, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep :: this looks like an ordinary routine disambig page between several similar words which people may sometimes confuse or misspell. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:33, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, I've added a few more entries. – Uanfala (talk) 08:27, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  @Uanfala: And I've moved "Sich" back under the "see also" where all the other things that weren't actually "sech" were moved to. Now it clearly falls under WP:ONEOTHER: There's one primary topic and one other, so it should still be deleted; would you be willing to change your !vote now? This seems like exactly what the guideline is for, and should be a really easy case. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 12:40, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  And would you be willing to reconsider your move of the Sich entry to the "see also" section in light of the fact that "sech" is a common alternative spelling of it [1] [2]? – Uanfala (talk) 12:51, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  (I can't access the first link for some reason), but I've found a few places using it, but I'm not sure how common it is. If it's common enough to be noted at the article in question, then maybe; it all seems a bit murkier now at least. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:48, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Given that there are hundreds of hits on google books for any number of phrases in which "sech" refers to the Cossack camp, I wouldn't go as far as calling that murky (even though the issue is moot: we're not intersted in how common is "sech" vs. the other spellings, what matters for the dab page is whether "sech" is used in this sense at all). On a side note, the presence of a primary topic isn't completely clear and there is a case to be made for moving the dab page to the base title. – Uanfala (talk) 14:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: have added sech with one of Uanfala's sources to Sich. Clearly useful and compliant dab page. PamD 14:31, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And reverted 2-month-old vandalism at Seich! PamD 14:35, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep now that previous commenters have improved it. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:33, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
