[edit] Survey - in support of the move

Support: If there hasn't been another Guidon page until now, there's no point in waiting further. Once someone gets the ambition to create another Guidon page, this can be moved back to the disambiguated title. Until then, it's pointless to have an "X" redirecting to an "X (whatever)". —Wknight94 (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Guidon should be redirecting to Colours, standards and guidons, as generic terms. Again, Guidon (U.S. Army) refers to a specific American interpretation of a broader topic; it does not automatically inherit the disambiguated use, since the term guidon is indeed ambiguous. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 21:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move

Strong oppose. This article deals with U.S. Army guidons in particular, which are a very different animal from guidons used in (e.g.) Commonwealth armies. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 12:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Oppose per SigPig. Disambiguation is often necessary for common terms even if they don't have their own article (being more dictionary definitions best left to Wikipedia) or which are best redirected to a less ambiguous, existing Wikipedia article as in this case.
