Bulls → Bulls (disambiguation) – Redirect Bulls to Bull per WP:PLURALPT. Steel1943 (talk) 18:48, 31 August 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 07:29, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support well spotted. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:06, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:NOTDICT. The primary encyclopedic meaning of "Bulls" is not bull due to the relative importance of the various Bulls sports teams. — AjaxSmack 00:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support the choice of singular or plural is solely a Wikipedia style issue, it does not change the primary topic of "bulls", which is that indicated at bull. Wikipedia could have chosen to default to using plurals instead of singulars, but it didn't. Various sports teams all uses the bull as their logo, so still indicating that the bull is the primary topic. Further, the bulls and the bears of the financial world have nothing to do with sports and are just as prominent as sports, showing that sport isn't that prominent. -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per AjaxSmack. Too many uses of the plural to send this to the singular disambiguation page - the link to the singular page is sufficient. Dohn joe (talk) 17:03, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No there aren't, there's no primary usage of "bulls" other than bulls. Sames as eagles foxes falcons cows pigs tigers. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:32, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:46, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support per nom. All sports teams named "Bulls" are named after the animal, which is the topic of greatest long term significance to the term. bd2412 T 14:41, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Ajax and Dohn Joe. Calidum 01:00, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Bulls refers to the plural of bull. WP:NOTDICT doesn't prevent the article on Bull, so how does that apply? Even if there is an answer, it is unreasonable to expect readers to know it, they will expect bulls to lead to bull. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:24, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per Ajax -- an while on the topic, would there be value or significance in combining the Bull and Bulls DAB into a single page. While not technically the same, in many cases, someone may be adding or removing the plural from the search and not find the correct DAB. Tiggerjay (talk) 18:10, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
