Talk:Kindle

Is a disambig needed?

• Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have the Amazon Kindle article with a hatnote for these other two options? Based on the Wikipolicies on disambigs, I think it would be vastly more probable that people are looking for the Amazon Kindle than a fictional county or a university football player (who will probably be searched by full name anyway...). Any thoughts?

• This is precisely what I think. If nobody objects, I'll probably make these changes in the next few days. Mario777Zelda (talk) 02:16, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

• Left here by 2 history-merges. And then redirect Kindle to Amazon Kindle? The Amazon Kindle has been out for nearly 4 years now, and is it still the dominant meaning of "kindle"? To many people "kindle" first means "light a fire". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:06, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

• Support If you Google Kindle -wikipedia the Amazon product certainly seems to be what people typing in "kindle" are looking for, which is not necessarily the same thing as the primary meaning of the term. Kauffner (talk) 11:55, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

• Support Moving Amazon Kindle to here is may also be a good idea. Marcus Qwertyus 15:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

• Question How does WP:RECENTISM weigh on things like this? It sounds like you're calling the amazon kindle the primary topic, yes? Yet your stated reason for the move seems contrary to that understanding. What's up? Cliff (talk) 20:21, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose pending explanation - I'm puzzled by the above. The rationale given by Anthony Appleyard proposing the move includes a reason not to move. Namely, it's not clear that the device really is the primary topic. "Kindle" is a common word, and isn't a recently marketed device of almost certainly transient significance. Is "Vista" going to mean that Windows release in 5 years? When e-book technology has gone through another five generations, will "Kindle" mean an obsolete device more than the act of starting a fire? -GTBacchus^(talk) 05:02, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
• It had been with the Amazon Kindle at page Kindle, but it was undiscussedly left as it is with the disambig page at Kindle by people making cut-and-paste moves, which I had to tidy. I recommend leaving it as it is, but for form I felt it best to start a discussion on a reverse of the undiscussed move. See the 5th entry in Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen#Completed requests August 2011. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:13, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I see; thank you. My oppose stands. -GTBacchus^(talk) 16:25, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
