Talk:Negative sign (astrology)

Description

Why does the language of this article treat Astrology as if it's fact-based? Should this be handled like all religious beliefs, and couched in terms like "according to the beliefs of..." and "adherents believe..."? PatrickLMT (talk) 12:17, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 19 March 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Just by looking at the arguments below, the consensus seems is move. 4 people are in favour of the proposal and 1 is for making a disambiguation. With that result, it would be 80% in favour of redirecting Negative sign and Positive sign to Plus and minus signs. Thus, there is consensus for that as well.

– For a vast majority of people, the words "positive sign" and "negative sign" instantly always refer to the plus and minus signs. If there's any sort of primary topic for these two terms, it would definitely be the math symbols. I'd propose having "Positive sign" and "Negative sign" redirect to Plus and minus signs, having a hatnote at the top of the math page linking to these two stub astrology pages. I'm not sure what the new title for these two astrological pages should be (feel free to suggest better ones), but this really needs to change. A majority of users should not be WP:SURPRISED when they type "negative sign" into the search bar and end up on this astrology page instead of the math symbols that the phrases almost always refer to.

(Also, although it's not preferable, I'd also be fine with "Negative sign" and "Positive sign" being disambiguation pages if no one can agree on the primary topic. I'd prefer the above requested move, but I'd be fine with the dab pages.) Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support They are often referred to as "positive and negative signs" when used on batteries and the like. The symbols are the clear primary topic._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 01:25, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Each should redirect to Plus and minus signs. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:05, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but no primary topic. Make these disambig pages. Dicklyon (talk) 04:14, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and redirect the targets to Plus and minus signs. On quick reading, I think that astrological pages would be best merged into Triplicity, as they're merely groupings of two triplicities each. No such user (talk) 15:45, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
