Article title

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.

The result of the proposal was support for move to unpluralized, undisambiguated name.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:42, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is Bridalveil Fall (Yosemite). Bridalveil Fall redirects to Bridal Veil Falls, which is essentially a one-sentence article with a page full of disambiguation links. Of those links, only the one leading to this article involves a waterfall with either "Bridalveil" all one word or the singular "Fall"; the rest are two words—"Bridal Veil"—and plural "Falls". If this waterfall in Yosemite is the only "Bridalveil Fall" with an article in Wikipedia, why shouldn't the article simply be titled "Bridalveil Fall"?

i concur. further, there are few enough links without causing a tsunami of redirects to correct. --emerson7 02:37, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support the requested move of this article currently unnecessarily disambiguated as Bridalveil Fall (Yosemite) to Bridalveil Fall which is the official name and has no ambiguity issues. However, it should remain listed on the Bridalveil Falls dab page, of course. --Born2cycle (talk) 19:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which name is most commonly used?

Google test results show that between "Bridalveil fall" and "Bridalveil falls" there is no clear winner:

Results 1 - 10 of about 23,400 for "bridalveil fall" -"bridalveil falls" +yosemite
Results 1 - 10 of about 24,900 for "bridalveil falls" -"bridalveil fall" +yosemite

Since there is no clear winner, the nod should go to the official name. --Born2cycle (talk) 19:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bridalveil Falls Watershed as reason for Yosemite Expansion

A sign at the falls discusses the importance of the vegetation in the watershed to preserving the year round flow of the fall and crediting the recognition of the importance of this vegetation for the expansion of the park. The single line citing Ostrander Lake as the source of the falls is probably not entirely accurate. Unfortunately I have neither a photo of the sign nor an accurate enough memory for the dates and areas involved although it is alluded to at http://www.yosemite.ca.us/yosemitefallsfacts.html Scerruti (talk) 19:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence in question says Ostrander Lake is the primary source, implying there are other sources. Why do you think that isn't entirely accurate? Rivertorch (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
