The word "undergrounding" edit

The word "undergrounding" is not in use in the professional societies to describe the act of burying utility electrical-cables. I find no use of the word in any reviewed journal articles. This article should be renamed "Burying utility electrical-cables" as these are all well recognized words and the meaning is unambiguous, whereas the meaning of "undergrounding" is at best very ambiguous and at worst just oddly inappropriate. Critiques of this contention? I'm looking for a reason that the title should remain as is, because I can find none. 67.161.8.42 (talk) 20:08, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Seems to be pretty common industry professional usage, at least according to a Google Books search I just spent 5 seconds on: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=%22undergrounding%22. I don't think the article needs to be renamed. --Wtshymanski (talk) 00:51, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
