A page for the word "one"?

See discussion towards the end of Talk:List of numbers/Deletion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Egil (talk • contribs) 10:15, 22 February 2004 (UTC)

Article title

I think we need a discussion about which page name should be the article and which should be the re-direct; One or One (disambiguation). I say One (disambiguation), but there are others who say One. Which makes more sense to most of you Wikipedians?? Georgia guy 22:40, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation of 'one'

Anyone add something on why 'one' is pronounced like the word 'won'?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rapido (talk • contribs) 22:08, 30 August 2005

I was actually going to ask that myself. - NP Chilla 12:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Interwikis

FYI, fr:one, it:one, and nl:one are not the word for the number one in theese languages. This put a mess for interwiki bots --ArséniureDeGallium 14:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I tried changing it, but the bots put them back. The problem is that this article is a disambiguation page for "1" and "one". Fagstein 03:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup

This disambiguation page was marked for cleanup per MOS:DAB. I removed the following entries because of notability issues:

• "1", a song by Joy Zipper
• "One", a song by Paul Colman Trio
• "One", a song by Johnny Cash (likely nn as I couldn't find the album)
• "One", a song by ¡Forward, Russia!, and the B-side to the 2005 single "Nine"
• One (Paul Colman Trio album), the 2003 Album by Paul Colman Trio
• ONE (golf), a golf ball produced by Nike Golf
• One (manga), a manga by Lee Vin

I also removed the following entries because of MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created:

• The Resin identification code for Polyethylene terephthalate, embossed within the Recycling symbol on consumer plastics.
• One Love, a form of saying good-bye
• One Big, a English channel for red nose day
• One Las Vegas, a condominium project on the Las Vegas Strip
• 1 Ceres, a dwarf planet

April 2008 edits

Regarding the list of Companies, etc.: I removed One NorthEast and Gateway One because neither is known, or likely to be known, as simply "One"--at least, I didn't see anything in the articles that would lead me to believe that either is called just "One". I left in Elonex ONE because its article explicitly states that it is sometimes known as "ONE". There are many things known as "One [something]" (One America Initiative, One Big Union), and many, many more known as "[something] One" (Capital One, Westwood One, Ketel One, etc, etc). But the only articles that really belong here are the ones that are, or might be, known as "One". As for ordering them alphabetically, dab page entries should generally be ordered according to how closely they match the disambiguated term. I don't think this sublist is so long that there's a good reason not to follow that guideline. --ShelfSkewed Talk 13:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I take your point but saw no problem having more entries rather than being over selective. On your rational I think the Veterans in Ireland should be removed or the entry corrected. They are know as O.N.E. and not as ONE. Also, I prefer alphabetic lists but if the standard is to have 'closest match first' then I would re-order to put the Music and Television sections above the 'Companies, organizations and brands' section. My preference is for strict alphabetic lists within alphabetically sequenced sections. This makes it clearly NPOV and is easiest for a reader.--Brian R Hunter (talk) 17:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

ONE redirects here and the three-letter, all-caps combinations are, I think, generally understood to cover initialisms and acronyms. As far as the ordering of the sections, I'm open to any sensible arrangement. If you would like to move the 'Companies, organizations and brands' section, and/or perhaps rename it, I have no objection. --ShelfSkewed Talk 18:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok I will correct the O.N.E. entry. But as my preference is for alphabetic sequences I will leave the section order. --Brian R Hunter (talk) 18:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Merge discussion

• Number One
• 01
• One (disambiguation)

All three of those pages are discussing the same thing, simply different ways of writing it. I believe that they should all be merged to the same disambiguation page, as that is the purpose of a disambiguation page - to group similar things into a single location. Quinxorin (talk) 02:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Seems like it'd make it terribly long though, --Cybercobra (talk) 02:40, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, but I don't see that being a problem. It will still be fairly short in comparison to an article. By the way, I initiated this discussion out of my own experience: it took me quite a long time to find an article I was looking for. Quinxorin (talk) 22:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

They are different ways of writing 1, but most uses are titles, which cannot be written in different ways, also this makes the disambiguation page very long with many irrelevant entries. There is significant overlap between "1" and "One", but very little, if any, between either of these and "Number One". Also there are separate disambiguation pages for "Number Two" to "Number Ten" with the exception of "Number Seven". Peter James (talk) 21:49, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 23 October 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Wbm1058 (talk) 22:11, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

1 (disambiguation) → One (disambiguation) – Many things listed here have no relation to the numeral 1. Ona, Hordaland and L'One, a river in Bagnères-de-Luchon, France for instance, have nothing to do with 1 only one. Voortle (talk) 03:25, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Comment One (disambiguation) was merged here, so the edit history will need to be displaced if this move goes through. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 06:16, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

  Yes, this was done per the merge discussion above, on grounds that "1", "one", and "ONE" are alternative spellings. I assume the choice of merging to "1 (disambiguation)" instead of the other way around was to keep all the articles in Category:Lists of ambiguous numbers have a consistent naming convention: using the numeral as the base title instead of having it spelled out in words. If the idea was to use a consistent naming convention per the Consistency aspect of WP:NAMINGCRITERIA, and keep all these entries on one disambiguation page, then I would oppose this move proposal. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:23, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

  Well, thing thing here is, not everything included here relates to the number. "L'One, a river in Bagnères-de-Luchon, France" for example, has nothing to do with the number 1. So having under a page titled "1 (disambiguation)" is inappropriate. Voortle (talk) 09:37, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Support, as the proposer notes, "One" covers everything here, whereas "1" does not. W. P. Uzer (talk) 08:44, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
• Support Similar to Ten (disambiguation), several entries are unrelated to the number, and this is a disambiguation page, not part of WikiProject Numbers. Peter James (talk) 10:06, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
• It also seems to me that the year 1 is certainly not the primary topic for 1. But that's probably another discussion. W. P. Uzer (talk) 10:30, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Unreal7 (talk) 21:32, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
