Tang → Tang (disambiguation) – Tang dynasty is WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Some page view statistics comparing the drink and the dynasty. The rest of the entries have negligible page traffic.-- Prisencolin (talk) 03:30, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "Tang" on its own does not mean anything. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:38, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- "Tang" by itself refers to the Tang dynasty, which at the time and to some extent today is usually just referred to as Tang.--Prisencolin (talk) 02:17, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The term "tang" by itself is ambiguous. I'd need clearer evidence that tang dynasty is what is most commonly expected with simply "tang". older ≠ wiser 02:28, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose while it's true that the dynasty is often referred to as just "Tang", "Tang" does not usually refer to the dynasty. SST flyer 09:17, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Tang" by itself is used in concepts like Tang poetry and Tang performance arts in Dunhuang (which aren't about powdered orange drink). A search on Google books suggests that the Tang dynasty is what the term usually refers to. Also, there are articles like Silla–Tang War and Baekje–Tang War which just use "Tang".--Prisencolin (talk) 06:13, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – The dab page lists many other legitimate meanings of "tang" including places, people, a fish species, and mechanical elements. "Tang Dynasty" is not just "tang". — JFG ^talk 11:53, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
