Since United States Heraldic Registry's deletion in 2017, this has only linked to two things: United States House of Representatives and Islamic taxes § Ushr. The first fails MOS:DABABBR, and I don't think the sources support "USHR" being nearly a common enough abbreviation for the House for that term to be added to the target article. And the second doesn't need disambiguation because WP:DIFFCAPS applies; no one had made Ushr till today, but I've gone and done that. Since this does not help readers arrive at any page explaining the usage of "USHR" in all-caps, it should be deleted. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 06:35, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Ushr is by far the primary topic, but it isn't commonly rendered in all-caps so a redirect there wouldn't be useful. As for other uses, the most common by far is the US Hockey Report, a website covering amateur ice hockey that is commonly used as a reference but about which we seem to have no encyclopaedic content (I have not evaluated whether it is notable). In article space I can find one use of the acronym to what I think is the US House of Representatives and that should be rewritten to use the full term (see Direct representation#Disadvantages), and a single use (as usHR) for "Union of Students for Human Resource" at Indian Institute of Management Shillong#Clubs (a wholly unreferenced section), something not mentioned anywhere else on the encyclopaedia and which I don't think merits a DABMENTION (I don't know what the current consensus is regarding mentioning societies like this in articles so offer no opinion on that).

  • Agree with the above. I've never seen ushr, the Islamic tax, spelled all in caps and there is no reason it ever would be.

• Delete I agree that USHR is not significantly used, and WP:DIFFCAPS applies. Even if USHR were significant and the same, WP:TWODABS would apply, and Ushr is primary. --Bejnar (talk) 23:01, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
