Talk:Maelstrom

Untitled

I am removing the claim that Naruto Uzumaki's name means "maelstrom". This is a poetic exagerration; "Uzumaki" simply means "spiral". Wpell (talk) 12:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maelstrom (disambiguation) → Maelstrom – Whirlpool is not a clear WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT for Maelstrom. That redirect, in the past 30 days, got 1456 views. This disambiguation page, despite being in a hatnote at the redirect target, got 628. Many entries at this page also got significantly more views, such as Maelstrom (ride) with 1698 and Maelstrom (comics) with 6122. Elli (talk | contribs) 01:54, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. There are 30 entries listed upon the Maelstrom (disambiguation) page with no indication that those who type "Maelstrom" are researching whirlpools to a degree greater than the combined searches for the other 29 entries. As for those who do want whirlpools, the topmost line within the dab already states, "A maelstrom is a powerful whirlpool." —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:56, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. Facts707 (talk) 05:05, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Other articles are named after the whirlpool. It is the primary topic per long-term significance. Vpab15 (talk) 19:39, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support While Whirlpool is clearly primary over the other topics by long-term significance, "Maelstrom" is a poetic term that does not have strong enough ties to the encyclopedic subject; it is, in spirit, a WP:PTM. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:00, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The disambiguation page seems like the more helpful destination for people who are searching for the term given its contents. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 20:36, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
