Talk:Gasparilla

THis should redirect to Gasparilla_Pirate_Festival as the usage for the word by itself is in the context of Gasparilla. Someone in Tampa may ask another person, "Are you going to Garparilla?" and not meaning they would visit a gravesite. Dominick ^(TALK) 19:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not, but the legend isn't restricted to Tampa. And since the festival is celebrated for and named after the pirate, I think he qualifies as the primary use.--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:32, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The word Gasparilla refers to the Pirate fesival pretty universally. Can you show me one context that refers to Jose Gaspar and refers to the man and not the festival? It certainly does not refer to the daughter of Jose Gaspar. Dominick ^(TALK) 19:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you're asking here. Gasparilla was the name of the pirate Jose Gaspar. The festival is named for the pirate. It would not be called Gasparilla but for him. Look at the incoming links, they mostly refer to the man.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move

I have made made the page Gasparilla the disambiguation page, per some discussion on my talk page. Essentially, while I have argued that Jose Gaspar, better known as Gasparilla, is the primary use as the first use of the name and the one the others all derive from, other editors have argued that the Gasparilla Pirate Festival is now better known. However, as it turns out, Gasparilla Island is just as popular a search term if not more so, especially judging by Google Books and Google Scholar which roundly favor the island. As such I've made this the dab page. Another user has suggested combining the pirate and festival articles into one Gasparilla article; if that is done then this page can be moved back to Gasparilla (disambiguation).--Cúchullain ^t/c 18:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
