Time Machine (disambiguatio)

Built page Time Machine (disambiguation) that redirect to Time Machine (here). per Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Page_naming_conventions It is acceptable, on the other hand, to create a page at "Term XYZ (disambiguation)" that redirects to the disambiguation page at "Term XYZ". This type of redirect can be used to indicate deliberate links to the disambiguation page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jeepday (talk • contribs) 03:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Time machine → Time machine (disambiguation) – Time machine should be a redirect to the WP:BROADCONCEPT article Time travel, so this page needs moving. Not fussed over whether machine should be capitalised or not. Iffy★Chat -- 09:25, 30 May 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. JHunterJ (talk) 13:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:14, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Time Machine - per WP:DABNAME as almost all entries are capitalized that way. Don't redirect to time travel. I'm actually a bit WP:ASTONISHed we don't have an article on time machine (devices) themselves, separate from the concept of time travel. Even just a list of notable time machines would be a better target. -- Netoholic @ 19:17, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see how an article about time machines could exist, as they only exist in fiction as plot devices to facilitate time travel, but I welcome attempts to create such articles. Iffy★Chat -- 08:30, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - That poses no obstacle - we have articles on comparable concepts like Starship, Lightsaber, and Raygun. bd2412 T 21:01, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Time machine could be a redirect to Time travel until/when an article on time machine. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:40, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move I agree with Netoholic. Barca (talk) 02:41, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. "Time machine" is mentioned in bold in the lede of Time travel. As a second option, create an article on time machines, for which there is plenty of material to begin. bd2412 T 21:03, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relister's comment: there seems to be consensus to move, but not yet on where Time machine should land (the disambiguation page if it's titled Time Machine or the article on Time travel). -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move DAB to Time Machine per WP:DABNAME since all entries other than time travel and the Geometry Dash one are upper case and allow Time machine to be a PRIMARYREDIRECT to Time travel as the only use (apart from Geometry Dash) for the lower case per WP:DIFFCAPS and in particular PT#2. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:34, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that Time Machine is probably the better target given the proclivity towards capitalized uses on the list of topics. bd2412 T 18:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Time Machine per others' arguments above. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:23, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
