Talk:Fireman (disambiguation)

2005

This is appropriately a disambiguation page...going to firefighter, railroad, and a mention of Farenheit 451. But are that extended Freudian discussion and the two offsite links appropriate for a Wikipedia article? I would say it's way off the wall, not to mention somebody's POV, and doesn't belong here.

The result of the move request was: Page to be moved. Unanimous consensus that firefighter is the primary topic. Note: Page not yet moved as it needs admin assistance. Will request deletion of the target. (non-admin closure)  — Amakuru (talk) 11:34, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Fireman → Fireman (disambiguation) – It seems quite clear to me that Fireman itself should redirect to Firefighter. This is by far the commonest meaning of the term "fireman", even today, and the one that would be understood by most people if it was used unqualified or with no additional context. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:29, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

• Support, clearly a primary topic. JIP | Talk 17:18, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
• Support, per nom, JIP. Note: this will also go for redirects Firemen and Firewoman. bd2412 T 17:44, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
• Support. Surprised it doesn't redirect there already. Clear primary topic. Zarcadia (talk) 18:15, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
• Support, and support treating firemen and firewoman equally. The primary topic is not in doubt. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 20:55, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
• Strong support--I figured this was the result of a unilateral rogue editor, but no--this has been a disambiguation page for eight years! But should not be. Red Slash 03:05, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Yes, I initially assumed the same thing! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:39, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
• Support older ≠ wiser 13:23, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
• Support + also for redirects Firemen and Firewoman. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:58, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
