- The result was redirect to Unmanned aerial vehicle with appropriate hatnote at the target. -- Glenfarclas (talk) 01:37, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
This abbreviation is used very frequently to refer to unmanned aerial vehicles. In contrast, the other two possible meanings, unified asset visibility (which does not even have an article) and UAV Corp. are very rarely referred to using the three-letter abbreviation. The disambiguation can simply be shifted to the beginning of the article using a {{redirect-acronym}} template. Llakais 21:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. The name of the subject is "Unmanned aerial vehicle," and we generally don't have articles under their acronyms. For instance, Federal Bureau of Investigation (not FBI), Self-addressed stamped envelope (not SASE), Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (not PBJ), and so on ad infinitum. Now, looking at the pagehits, it turns out that Unmanned aerial vehicle gets about 2900 hits a day, UAV around 300, and UAV Corp. about 15. I think by far the best course would be to make UAV a redirect to Unmanned aerial vehicle with a hatnote for UAV Corp. and eliminate the "Unified asset visibility" dictdef, or else possibly a hatnote for a new UAV (disambiguation) that would hold the content of the current UAV.

- I had completely forgotten about the article title guidelines. Yes, I agree that a redirect with a hatnote is a much better idea. By the way, how does one find the number of hits a page receives? Llakais 00:15, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- Enter the pagename and month at [1]. I don't know that it's 100% accurate, but it's a rough-and-ready guide. Glenfarclas (talk) 07:31, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
