Propose: Merge this small article into pruning. Can this article be elaborated past a dictionary definition of the term? If not I suggest sticking the difference into the deadheading section of the Pruning article. Dogsgomoo 13:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are other uses of the term besides pruning. In fact, before stumbling upon the redirect, I didn't know such use was extant, let alone common. I was searching for the railroad term, myself. this page should be a disambiguation page, imo.oknazevad (talk) 18:33, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

– Users researching fans of the Grateful Dead will continue to directly access the entry about them by simply typing "Deadhead". The hatnote atop that entry — For other uses, see Deadhead (disambiguation). — can be revised to state — For other uses, see Deadheading (disambiguation). There is no need for two separate dab pages — the multi-entry Deadhead (disambiguation) and the three-entry Deadheading — when all three entries from the Deadheading dab page also appear upon the Deadhead (disambiguation) page. The move of Deadhead (disambiguation) to Deadheading will also eliminate the need for the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:10, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. These are distinct topics, and therefore, require distinct disambiguation pages. 162 etc. (talk) 06:53, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Most of the entries at Deadhead (disambiguation) are nouns, so they cannot be properly represented at a Deadheading disambiguation page. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:22, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: None of the deadheading topics seem very directly related to any of the deadhead topics, so there is no good reason to merge the two disambiguation pages. As far as I know, deadheads don't refer to what they do as deadheading (and the people engaged in deadheading don't refer to themselves as deadheads unless they are flower growers or airline employees or truck drivers who just happen to be fans of the Grateful Dead – listenin' to "Truckin' " while truckin' up to Buffalo). The previous overlap in the listings has been removed (by 162). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:45, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
