[edit] Needs to be disambig page

Kyuquot the whale was named for Kyuquot Sound, which was named for the Kyuquot people. There's other names using Kyuquot which will have articles eventually; and certainly the one that's about a captive orca doesn't qualify as the primary use of this word. Disambig needed; prob likely also for Tillikum.Skookum1 19:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

While I agree with the general direction of the above, until the other articles are created, disambiguation isn't needed. When it is needed, probably the best thing would be to move this page to Kyuquot (orca) and create a disambiguation page for Kyuquot. Alternatively, a disambiguation link would be put here if the whale is overwhelmingly the most common meaning. -- ArglebargleIV 01:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Hardly; Kyuquot is a well-known placename - which is why the whale got named for "it", probably for Kyuquot Sound -and also that of an important aboriginal people (part of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council; I've been making First Nations and geog stubs elsewhere in BC and had found this page while researching links to Kyuquot found on other BC pages; but held off not knowing what to do. So what I'll do is spin out the necessary four or five stubs/articles tonight, and then the existence of the disambig becomes relevant. So what happens then - move the contents here to Kyuquot (whale) (which is the convention for other whales e.g. Tilikum (whale) and make this into the disambig, or do I have to do some kind of formal move process before doing that?Skookum1 01:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
