[edit] Coach (disambiguation) proposal

Should "Coach" really go here instead of Coach (disambiguation), given all the other uses? Bayerischermann 00:26, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm with you on this; Coach (vehicle) redirects here, it should be the article title with Coach being a disambiguation page. There is a ton of articles that incorrectly link to this page as it stands now.--Lordkinbote 17:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

The grammar in this article is really starting to slip!--Lordkinbote 19:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Coach to Coach (vehicle)

  • Coach (disambiguation) to Coach
  • When I think of "coach", I think more of the athletic variety. Existing discussion on Talk:Coach seems to confirm that the vehicle is not the most appropriate article to reside at just plain Coach. Since there are so many different usages, the existing disambiguation page ought to reside on the "main" title. Thus my proposal is to give Coach a parenthetical title of Coach (vehicle) (a redirect already exists to Coach from this location), and to move Coach (disambiguation) into the "main" position.

  • Support the proposal to move the disambig to Coach and move the current article to Coach (vehicle). Slambo (Speak) 02:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Reaffirm my Support originally indicated above.--Lord Kinbote 04:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support. Makes perfect sense. Kafziel 17:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Coach (vehicle) is the principal meaning of the word. Athletic "Coaches" are a specialization of Coach; "A private tutor who prepares a candidate for an examination. ([[OED}}, 3a)"; a metaphor of "someone who carries the student to success". Septentrionalis 16:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Nobody here is saying that sports coaches are the only kind of coach; we're just talking about moving the disambiguation page here so people can find the meaning they're looking for. Kafziel 16:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Precisely my point. I'm not saying that sports coaches are the only kind of coach. I'm just saying that for me, that's the first definition that comes to mind, rather than this one. I'm just saying with so many different uses of the term, that the "main" title should carry the dab page rather than any one of the various uses. Basically just a little organizational change.
