Change name from Roar (utterance)

I don't think a roar is an utterance. Utterances are a part of spoken language. I believe a more precise naming convention is in order and propose moving this page to roar (vocalization) or roar (vocalisation). Gobonobo ^{T C} 00:40, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Can humans roar

Can humans roar? As opposed to merely producing a sound that is LIKE a roar but doesn't meet a strict definition based either on how it is produced or on the characteristics of the sound? 94.194.66.92 (talk) 22:16, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Rawr

"Rawr" is a slang term used frequently on the internet, meaning the same as a roar, but used in a comical and friendly way.

• Roar (vocalization) → Roar

– Animal vocalization is the clear primary topic with the most long-term significance. Disambiguating it seems similar to if Apple was disambiguated to separate the fruit from the company. In dictionaries, the entries for 'roar' have no other definitions than animal vocalization, or topics related to making a loud sound. Other articles get more page views, but animal vocalization has more significance as a large portion of the articles listed on the current disambiguation page take their name from animal vocalization as either a metaphor or a derivative. On JSTOR, "roar" returns either results about animal vocalization or as metaphors of it. Note: A technical request for this move was contested prior to this requested move.

Support. I agree, it's the primary topic. Batrachoseps (talk) 23:44, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Support, of course, lions and tigers and bears and all that. Those roars are primary. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

• If I may respectfully suggest... (although don't want to listen to this too long, could be used as a sound effect in a horror film). Randy Kryn (talk) 22:52, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

  @Randy Kryn: I'm not sure. I think this global number one smash hit is the clear the primary topic. Svampesky (talk) 14:16, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

  Although the vocalization seems primary because of long-term significance (things have been roaring for a long time), the song should have a hatnote if this page is moved to primary topic. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
