Redirect to Osama bin Laden[edit]

There was an attempt to make this page a redirect to Osama bin Laden, which was reverted in this edit back to Usama (name). Now, Adolf doesn't redirect to Adolf Hitler, because he's not commonly referred to as just Adolf. On the other hand, Hitler redirects to Adolf Hitler, Elvis redirects to Elvis Presley, and Saddam redirects to Saddam Hussein, because that's how those people are commonly referred to. I'm redirecting Osama back to Osama bin Laden because that's the primary meaning for the term (not Usama, Oussama or even Osama (film)). If someone disagrees please discuss this here.

It has been brought to my attention that this redirect to Osama bin Laden may not be NPOV and might even be racist. Making this a disambiguation page would be a way to make this more within Wikipedia's NPOV guidelines and perhaps less racist. Morganfitzp (talk) 20:48, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
