As of right now, the page Main/WASP redirects to the page for the band (which is a ptitle). I would like to propose the following action:

  1. Move the page for the band from its current location to Music.WASP, and apply a custom title to provide the punctuation.
  2. Redirect Main/WASP to White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (which is probably what most people recognize the acronym as, in addition to being a term that predates the band by several decades), or make it a disambiguation page for the term, the band, and The Wasp

We don't redirect acronyms. Ever. So the only thing Main.WASP could point at is the band which should not be on a ptitle. Main.WASP could be a disambig page, but we can't redirect it as White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

At least one moderator disagrees. WASP as an acronym is a common use, moreso than the extended phrase.

Indeed. We go by common usage and WASP is a very common acronym. Make it a disambiguation and don't forget to change the page type and add it to Ambiguity Index.
