Talk:Scuba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As this is a disambiguation page, I've removed the information about the acronym S.C.U.B.A. because it's already on the Scuba diving page. Otherwise we could end up with a circular path back to the disambiguation page. Disambiguation pages are (I understand) supposed to be just a list of different meanings under the page heading with links to specific pages, rather than holding the information themselves. Personally I'd like to have seen the SCUBA page as the main page for Scuba diving, but there is another meaning of SCUBA unrelated to Scuba diving, so the disambiguation page makes more sense as it is. Sound reasonable? --Andy Wade 09:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirection

It seems fairly obvious that scuba diving is the primary meaning of the term; scuba set is an instrument used in scuba diving, not an unrelated term; and the SCUBA acronym for the telescope instrument is, besides being derivative, a distinctly secondary and uncommon usage. Therefore, it would make sense to rename this page Scuba (disambiguation) and redirect the primary topic to Scuba diving. Comments below, please. --Russ (talk) 20:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

• I would entirely agree with this plan. People type in SCUBA looking for scuba diving, except for in very rare cases. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 19:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• I agree, this would solve the problem. --Andy Wade 21:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I have renamed this page after an apparently unanimous decision here.JeremyBicha 22:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
