[edit]The recently inserted paragraph about footballing Wags is superfluous given the existing article and is poorly constructed. Some of the langauge is unsuitable. Suggest delete. Does anyone object? IXIA 18:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
The article for "Wireless Audio Gesture" does not exist, as of this writing.[Nov. 13, 2006]— Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.254.147.8 (talk) 13:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
What about "Wild Ass Guess"? I've been using this acronym for several years as a qualifier for effort estimates for development tasks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.42.57.137 (talk) 00:06, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

– WP:ASTONISH. There is no primary topic for this name, even Wag (company) gets over 10x the views [] than the district. There are many other articles that use the acronym "WAG" to. A Google and image search show many results for dogs wagging their tails and although that may fall under WP:NOTDIC its clear that the district isn't primary. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:36, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom - and WP:ASTONISH. No clear primary topic - and even if there was a primary topic, it certainly wouldn't be this one. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:21, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom - and WP:ASTONISH. No clear primary topic In ictu oculi (talk) 16:30, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support per pageview stats. Even if you disregard the recently founded company, the dab page gets just as many views as the historical Ethiopian district. It's a relatively obscure topic, and not at all clear that this is what most people are looking for. PC78 (talk) 16:39, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Blimey, that really shows readers are getting lost! since many will have come from Google or a direct link, most DABs that end in "disambiguation" tend to only get 1 or 2% such as London or Colchester for example. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:46, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nomination, Paintspot Infez, In ictu oculi and PC78. Astonish, indeed. The putative WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is a six-sentence stub, while the dab page lists 31 entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:26, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support designation of no primary topic, but oppose (district). In general geographical locations should be disambiguated by higher-order divisions, so something like Wag, Ethiopia or Wag, Amhara Region would be better for me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:16, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Since the Wag (disambiguation) page lists only two other "Wag" geographical entries and these would not conflict with this entry, I would certainly support Wag, Ethiopia, per King of Hearts, and would support, as a secondary choice, his alternative proposal Wag, Amhara Region. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support, no primary topic, with a move to Wag, Ethiopia. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:30, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks @Shhhnotsoloud: for adding Tail wagging by dogs which is a reasonable target, however de:Wag appears to list other meanings in Ethiopia but its not clear if they are geographical. I nearly submitted this at RMT but I wasn't sure of the target and it wasn't even clear to me if it was actually a place until I read the article several times. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:02, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:37, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support. A district of Ethiopia is the primary topic for this common English word on English Wikipedia?! Really?! Rename the province to Wag Province as per other Ethiopian provinces. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:56, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- Agree per WP:NATURAL. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:45, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- I can get behind this in addition to my two suggestions. The removal of parentheses makes a geographic disambiguator OK per WP:NATURAL. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:09, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
