Talk:Wag

2006

The recently inserted paragraph about footballing Wags is superfluous given the existing article and is poorly constructed. Some of the langauge is unsuitable. Suggest delete. Does anyone object? IXIA 18:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

The article for "Wireless Audio Gesture" does not exist, as of this writing.[Nov. 13, 2006]— Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.254.147.8 (talk) 13:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

What about "Wild Ass Guess"? I've been using this acronym for several years as a qualifier for effort estimates for development tasks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.42.57.137 (talk) 00:06, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

• Wag (disambiguation) → Wag
• Wag → Wag (district)

– WP:ASTONISH. There is no primary topic for this name, even Wag (company) gets over 10x the views [[1]] than the district. There are many other articles that use the acronym "WAG" to. A Google and image search show many results for dogs wagging their tails and although that may fall under WP:NOTDIC its clear that the district isn't primary.

• Support per nom - and WP:ASTONISH. No clear primary topic - and even if there was a primary topic, it certainly wouldn't be this one. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:21, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nom - and WP:ASTONISH. No clear primary topic In ictu oculi (talk) 16:30, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
• Support per pageview stats. Even if you disregard the recently founded company, the dab page gets just as many views as the historical Ethiopian district. It's a relatively obscure topic, and not at all clear that this is what most people are looking for. PC78 (talk) 16:39, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

  Blimey, that really shows readers are getting lost! since many will have come from Google or a direct link, most DABs that end in "disambiguation" tend to only get 1 or 2% such as London or Colchester for example. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:46, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

• Support per nomination, Paintspot Infez, In ictu oculi and PC78. Astonish, indeed. The putative WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is a six-sentence stub, while the dab page lists 31 entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:26, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
• Support designation of no primary topic, but oppose (district). In general geographical locations should be disambiguated by higher-order divisions, so something like Wag, Ethiopia or Wag, Amhara Region would be better for me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:16, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
• Comment. Since the Wag (disambiguation) page lists only two other "Wag" geographical entries and these would not conflict with this entry, I would certainly support Wag, Ethiopia, per King of Hearts, and would support, as a secondary choice, his alternative proposal Wag, Amhara Region. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

  Yes I would support Wag, Ethiopia per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Region-specific guidance. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:46, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

• Support, no primary topic, with a move to Wag, Ethiopia. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:30, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

  Thanks @Shhhnotsoloud: for adding Tail wagging by dogs which is a reasonable target, however de:Wag appears to list other meanings in Ethiopia but its not clear if they are geographical. I nearly submitted this at RMT but I wasn't sure of the target and it wasn't even clear to me if it was actually a place until I read the article several times. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:02, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

• Support per nom._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:37, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
• Support. A district of Ethiopia is the primary topic for this common English word on English Wikipedia?! Really?! Rename the province to Wag Province as per other Ethiopian provinces. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:56, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

  Agree per WP:NATURAL. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:45, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

  I can get behind this in addition to my two suggestions. The removal of parentheses makes a geographic disambiguator OK per WP:NATURAL. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:09, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
