Pretty clear case here of hacks promoting their business at wikipedia's interest! Google search [1] very clearly favours the Sydney Morning Herald over obscure hospitals! --The former rugby user 16:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- 'Semiconductor Holders' is not a hospital. --199.71.174.100 17:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- And the 'Sydney Morning Herald' is an unknown entity outside Australia & New Zealand. --199.71.174.100 21:35, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- bs, SMH is famous the world over as one of the great liberal newspapers. Have a look at Encarta, it is used as a resource for all things Australian on it. This is a joke, your ip even says you are from st michael's hospital.
- What joke ? I don't work for 'Semiconductor Holders'. Please don't assume the notability of your local newspaper. --199.71.174.100 18:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- This page was only created as disambiguation by you to accomodate the place you work for. The others, as well as your hospital, is not notablt in comparison to the Sydney Morning Herald. --144.132.216.253 15:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Notability is not the issue. SMH can mean many things, so there's a need to disambiguate. Furthermore, the Sydney Morning Herald is not that notable in the western hemisphere. --199.71.174.100 23:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Notability is a primary issue in disambiguation. YOU created a disambiguation when it should not have been created in the first place for the hospital that your ip came from, you started adding anything possible to make it seem more valid when it was challenged. It is all there in the history of the page. --144.132.216.253 01:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- If notability is a primary issue, then this must be a disambiguation page. The Sydney Morning Herald is notable but not so notable like BBC. Please stop redirecting to 144.132.216.253's favourite newspaper, a newspaper not too well known outside Australia. The acronym SMH can mean many things. I don't see where I work as an issue. It's not a redirect to my hospital. Where does 144.132.216.253 work? The Herald? --199.71.174.100 12:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't know... the initial Google searches seem evenly spread out. On one hand, we could have this as a disambiguation page. On another, we could have it as a redirect to The Sydney Morning Herald. A compromise would be to move it to SMH (disambiguation), have it redirect to The Sydney Morning Herald, and have {{redirect}} at the top of The Sydney Morning Herald. How do these options sound?

- given that one of the other SMH's is a listed stock, i'd say it's pretty notable (and the herald is my favourite paper)... if people are searching for the paper, i suspect they're really more likely to be searching by the name than the acronym though. Dibo T | C 12:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well where do the redirects send to? Also that acronym for the herald is very well known, what about for the others? --144.132.216.253 14:03, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- The acronym for the herald is very well known where User:144.132.216.253 is, but not far beyond. --199.71.174.100 12:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

- Thank you for your suggestion, Gracenotes. That should work, but the current disambiguation [2] works fine, too. A change is not necessary. Furthermore, SMH is not as commonly used to refer to that Australian newspaper as USA is used to refer to the United States. I don't see why a similar procedure should be applied. --199.71.174.100 13:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
