[edit] Move from Ng (disambiguation) to NG

Seems to be the more common use in articles that need redirection so why not have the dab article there? Vegaswikian 05:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

  • This follows Disambiguation, Generic topic. Since this move follows a guideline, I'm not creating a voting subheading. If anyone opposes, please feel free to create a subheading! --Lox (t,c) 18:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 11:56, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of entries under NG after merging with ng

May I know what led to the disappearance of several entries originally under NG? Specifically under the part "NG may stand for:". There were at least two entries that are gone now. One being "No Good abbreviated...", and the other one was "In Japanese, ng represents...".

I would've thought that those two entries were far more relevant than "NG may stand for: Newsgroup(.com)".

I deleted some entries because they're are dicdefs and don't link to a page by that name. Tedernst | talk 23:45, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
I see, I guess the one which I added would be more suitable on Wikitionary.
However, I believe the Japanese definition isn't a dictionary term. In fact, it's a term that the Japanese manufacturing industry uses. If the sentence itself links to "Japanese" and "manufacturing", do you think it can stay on the "ng" page?

The MoS:DP says that dab pages are to have only links to articles that otherwise would share the same or similar names. No one would confuse "Japanese" or "Manfacturing" with "Ng." If there were an article about this concept, it might be called Ng (manufacturing) and then the link would be appropriate on the dab page (still not to Japanese or Manufacturing. Does this make sense? Tedernst | talk 16:31, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Uh, not really. It should; I'm just not getting it the first time round. I'm going to mull over that paragraph. Thanks for explaining it to me. --TKY 08:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
