Talk:Rollover

Other Uses Not LIsted

There are other uses for "Roll Over," such as the command for a dog and the nursery rhyme involving a group of bears in bed, that don't seem to have articles for them. DanMat6288 (talk) 18:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In highway design

As justification for the meaning in highway engineering, see Illinois DOT Bureau of Design & Environment Manual - 2002 Edition, Chapter 36, Figure 36-2J, page 36-2(20). Cstaffa (talk) 02:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rollover (disambiguation) → Rollover
Rollover → ~~Rollover (vehicle)~~?

– WP:NOPRIMARY. The three articles Rollover (film), Rollover (finance) and Rollover (web design) together get about the same number of page views as the article on vehicle accidents, and adding Rollover (fire) makes the split about 40/60. page stats. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 00:48, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rollover cable actually gets almost as many views as Rollover, but is not a candidate for primary topic. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 00:50, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. 100% no primary topic. Move disambiguation page to basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 01:42, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but instead move to ~~rollover accident~~ vehicle rollover as WP:NATURALDIS. The parenthetic implies that its a type or brand of vehicle, and I can't really think of another parenthetical which would be appropriate. "Rollover accident" over "rollover crash" per this Ngrams comparison which shows "accident" as dominant. -- Netoholic @ 08:10, 5 March 2020 (UTC) Changing vote as brought up below. -- Netoholic @ 07:44, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, "accident" was my first choice, but not all rollovers are accidents, and "vehicular" seemed unnecessarily awkward. Some authorities dislike "accident" and prefer "collision" , as discussed at Traffic collision#Terminology, so it may not be neutral. Dynamic rollover is indented in the DAB page underneath this, so I was trying to find a term that didn't exclude helicopters, although it's probably better just to outdent it. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 09:27, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved Dynamic rollover to See also as a partial title match. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even vehicle rollover would be a better choice than the proposed parenthetical. -- Netoholic @ 14:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea – my quick search shows it to be reasonably common, especially in insurance and legal circles. I've scrubbed my original suggestion as nom. I doubt there's any real confusion with dynamic rollover, but a hatnote would sort that out. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 21:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I agree there's no clear primary topic. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning up the page. It looks much better now. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 21:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per views, gets less than 50% of views even with only full matches included and ignoring anyone who landed here in error. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:52, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. No clear primary topic. Endorse move to Vehicle rollover. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:09, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
