[edit] illegal in india ??
I'm an Indian , living in India .The idea of leather belts being "illegal" in India is simply ridiculos ... Almost all the major brands have showrooms in India and their business seems to be doing pretty well! .. please check/change this
- I have checked this. The prohibition on leather goods is technically correct as it originates from the Sale of Leather Goods Ordinance (No.645 of 1929), however since independence in 1947 the Indian government has not enforced the ban, but nor has it actually repealed the legislation.

Belt (clothing) → Belt — I believe that the majority of people searching for a belt in an encyclopedia will be interested in the clothing item. Therefore, I propose that we move Belt to Belt (disambiguation) and Belt (clothing) to Belt Dave 23:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in support of the move
[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move
- Oppose. It is not clear that this is the primary use given the number of meanings for the word belt. Leaving the dab page where it is, makes it easy to find bad links and fix them. If these moves were made, finding bad links would be very difficult and there would be a large number of readers redirected to the wrong article. That's just wrong.

- Oppose like the above user, I'm not convinced that the article of clothing is the overhwlming primary usage. My first thought when i hear the phrase is actually in the astronomical sense like Orion's belt. 205.157.110.11 00:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose as per the above reasons. Bssc81 08:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Nothing wrong as is; different people think of different def'ns.+mwtoews 10:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. Not necessarily the primary use. PC78 14:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose, the finding of bad links mentioned by Vegaswikian is especially important in this and similar cases. Gene Nygaard 20:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
