Talk:Tiger (disambiguation)

Cleanup

This page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB. I removed the following entries for non-notability as a wikipedia entry or for unlikelyhood of "tiger" as a search term for them:

• The Tiger, a leading American high school newspaper, based in South Pasadena, California.
• City of Tigers, pet name for the city of Oslo
• The nickname of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment
• Tiger Hutchence, daughter of late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and the late Paula Yates. Adopted by Bob Geldof
• Tiger (Maplestory), the number one ranked player in Maplestory Global (has been temporarily banned twice).
• Tiger, a Pascal-like programming language introduced by Andrew Appel in his book Modern Compiler Implementation.

Removed for being red-links and having a rather empty "What links here" page, i.e. highly suspected of non-notability:

• Tiger (1997 film), a German family comedy movie
• Tiger (1979 film), an Indian (Telugu) movie
• Tiger (1994 film), a 1994 Canadian short film
• Tiger (1997 documentary), a 1997 documentary by the National Wildlife Federation
• Puli (film), Tiger in its English dub, a 1985 Indian (Telugu) action movie
• Bewafa Qatil, a 1932 Indian silent film
• Da xu hai, Tiger in its English dub, a 1973 Chinese-language film
• Tiger (musician), a Jamaican dancehall musician
• Tiger (An American Tail), a character in the 1986 animated movie An American Tail

Removed as per MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created:

• A Tiger for Malgudi is an award wining novel by R.K. Narayan
• Tigers' Quest, a 2006 American audio drama.
• Tiger Lily Records, a record label
• Tiger Style Records, a record label
• Tigerbeat6, a record label
• Tigersushi Records, a record label

In the cases where my rationale was obviously wrong, please copy the mistakenly removed entry back on the main page. – sgeureka ^t•c 23:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

New dab page

I created a new disamiguation page at The Tigers ... it was a Japanese band article, but the number of 'see also's had gotten rather unwieldy. I linked it at the top of this disambiguation page. ~Eliz81^(C) 03:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

TIGER Federal Grant Program

‘‘Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery’’ or ‘‘TIGER Discretionary Grants,’’ a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The latter appropriated $1.5 billion of discretionary grant funds to be awarded by the Department of Transportation for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure.

Tiger something vs. a (something) tiger

The rules of English syntax make it clear that, for example, chocolate milk is a kind of milk, while milk chocolate is a kind of chocolate. Therefore, we don't need every animal called "a tiger fish" or "tiger flower", but rather only those called, for example "marsupial tiger" or "saber-tooth tiger".

The butterflies are all "foo tiger", not "tiger foo" (I think most folks would be pretty WP:ASTONISHed by where Malay tiger leads). And Arctiidae notes that tiger moths may be referred to simply as "tigers". These entries belong here. Plantdrew (talk) 20:12, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
