Why is zeta popular in furry fandom? --SPUI (T - C) 14:26, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.


Zeta (letter)Zeta — Since the Greek letter is prominent enough that the term "zeta" should go there instead of a disambiguation page. —Yath 08:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Support Other uses are derived or obscure. Michael Z. 2007-08-16 19:47 Z
  • Support - I have to agree. If a person searches Zeta they are probably looking for the letter and not some fraternity that has "Zeta" as one of the letters. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 22:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Support - as its a primary usage Reginmund 06:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Scanning the disambig page, I can't find any rivals for primary usage. They're all derivative. Andrewa 11:16, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: I stand corrected below, the name of the Zeta River derives from an early root meaning "harvest" or "grain" according to the article, and the Principality of Zeta is named after the river. But I still think the primary meaning in English is the Greek letter, so no change of vote. Andrewa 14:33, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak support The Montenegrin river is unlikely to be derivative, but is it real competition? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
