The general sense is current and much used today in astronomy. Also Perhaps the emperor should go to Jovian, Roman Emperor or Jovian (Roman Emperor)?

- No, this is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary.--Panairjdde 17:33, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- This could use a disambiguation page, as the astronomy usage, the Roman emporer, the language use, and the Roman god Jupiter are enough to justify it. StuRat 18:59, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

- I see only two uses, the astronomic usage, as adjective of planet Jupiter, and the Roman emperor. One is related to the dictionary, the other to the encyclopedia. I am against a disambiguation page; if you want, you can put a notice at the beginning of the page, if there exists a jovian (astronomy) article, that is.--Panairjdde 07:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

- The 4 uses are:
-
-
-
-
- Referring specifically to the planet Jupiter, alone.
- first, astronomycal
-
-
-
-
- Referring to the class of planets like Jupiter, which includes Saturn and may or may not include Uranus and Neptune.
- again astronomycal,
-
-
-
-
- Referring to the Roman emporer.
- second
-
-
-
-
- Referring to the expression "By Jove !".
- Jove is not Jovian.

- Again, you should understand that this is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. If you must, just write a note at the beginning of the page, something like "For the planet, see Jupiter."--Panairjdde 13:00, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

- I agree wholeheartedly with User:Jorge Stolfi. This article does not deserve primary disambiguation. Someone looking for Jovian is much more likely to be looking for the adjective related to either the god or the planet named after him, and this one isn't more likely than the others on the disambiguation page. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation, its section on deciding to disambiguate, and Wikipedia:Naming conventions and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (precision)#If the two titles usually have a different meaning. Or just look at some of the discussions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to see how these problems are normally resolved.

- I'm not going to take further action right now, but may get back to this sometime. Meanwhile, if anyone else renames it or takes this to Wikipedia:Requested moves, let me know on my talk page. Gene Nygaard (talk) 14:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

- Note that inappropriate links on the article's "What links here" are one clue that a change should be made.
- Note also that many of the links on "what links here" which are appropriate to this article are only there as a result of that big, ugly honking navigation box on the bottom of the page. All of them could be fixed in one fell swoop if this article is renamed, merely by changing the link in the template. The existence of those links due (only to that obnoxious template whose purpose would be as well served by categories and lists) on the "What links here" page makes it much more difficult to find the ones which are inappropriate to this article.
- Having "Jovian" as a disambiguation page would make future cleanup of those links easier. Gene Nygaard (talk) 14:52, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
