Prod declined, but by adding
WP:PTMs, which I reverted now. Multiple things are named after Bosut, but aren't referred to as simply Bosut themselves. The hatnote already covers the ambiguity between the river and the village otherwise. Joy (talk) 20:33, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

- Again, you're using the term Bosut to refer to topics that are not named that way mononymously. What are the references saying that anyone refers to either the Bosut culture or the Bosut Forest as just "Bosut"? This is not generally ambiguous. The original terms that these English translations are based on are all in adjectival or appositive form, the river is the primary topic and these are some features found around it and are named after it, but there is no ambiguity. I see you also since found some obscure football club, which is probably why it's a red link and will remain so for the forseeable future because the notability is doubtful. It's plausible that such a football club is referred to just as "Bosut", but in the case of such minor topics it would be nice to see a modicum of proof first. This sounds to me like scraping the bottom of the barrel to keep this, the average English reader isn't going to experience much ambiguity either way... --Joy (talk) 10:19, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- For example, a quick google brings up a Serbian news article from this year which consistently uses forms of the noun "Bosut" to refer to the village, but then consistently uses "OFK Bosut" to refer to the club, never once using it ambiguously. --Joy (talk) 10:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. The village, football club and newly added minesweeper are clearcut legit entries, so even if the other two are marginal, that's enough for a dab page. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:48, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

- Again, you're citing a manual of style and an explanatory essay after I mentioned the policy that says: Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policies without considering their principles. The principle here should be - let's have a system that makes sure the readers can navigate to various ambiguous uses of the term. These are certainly things named after the river or the village, but they're not actually known to be ambiguous with their eponyms. Maintaining this list in a disambiguation format is unlikely to lead to any appreciable amount of readership, because there's just not much there to read about, these are mere cursory mentions. The value is not there. --Joy (talk) 14:41, 3 December 2023 (UTC)]
