Talk:Stargazer

Comments

Could someone please find the information on Stargazers relating to White Wolf's World of Darkness? It involves their Werewolf game. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhysis (talk • contribs) 15:12, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Move request (March 2015)

Moved as proposed. bd2412 T 10:35, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

• Stargazer → Stargazer (fish)
• Stargazer (disambiguation) → Stargazer

– the fish is not the primary topic of "stargazer" [1] , it would be the people who gaze at stars (astronomers) [2], if anything. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 05:58, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

• Support WP:ASTONISH -- I am the nominator -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 05:59, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
• Support. Currently there are quite a few pages (example) that incorrectly link to the article about the fish. Note: there are currently many inlinks to Stargazer which should be fixed before or immediately after the page at that location is changed to a dab. DexDor (talk) 06:19, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
• Support Stargazer → Stargazer (fish): as one-who-looks-at-stars is primary, and Stargazer (fish) is secondary.

Weak Oppose Stargazer (disambiguation) → Stargazer: as there are apparently many other uses of Stargazer (if I understand the nom correctly). If Stargazer → Stargazer (fish) passes, then put astronomer, amateur astronomy, observational astronomy, etc. at the top of the disambig. since there will be room?   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅contribs ⋅dgaf)  06:28, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

• Support and put the mention of someone who gazes at stars up, close to the top (instead of all the way on the bottom). The first thing that comes to my mind when hearing or reading 'stargazer' is not the fish, but someone who gazes at stars. This will likely be so for many more people. --JorisvS (talk) 15:34, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
• Support moving the dab page per nominator. However I agree with Tom.Reding that the astronomical uses should also be added to the disambiguation page. It might also be better to move the fish to Uranoscopidae (which currently redirects to the fish), which is a unique name that doesn't require bracketed additions to the article title.

• Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:13, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
• Support. When you consider the refractive qualities of water from beneath the surface the current titling seems even more laughable. GregKaye 12:49, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
