Talk:Solar tower (astronomy)

message: None of the entries in the article are long or detailed enough to be deemed an article.  Since it is used in so many different ways, shouldn't it be a disambiguation page instead? — Frecklefoot | Talk 19:56, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
:The uncapitalised solar tower has only one meaning AFAIK. The existing pointers to Solar Tower and solar chimney seem adequate. See below. Andrewa 01:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I posted this at Talk:Solar updraft tower as it grew out of the discussion there, but this was probably a mistake. Anyway, please follow the link and support/oppose. If you oppose, you may wish to offer an alternative suggestion for naming. --Singkong2005 tc 07:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: weak oppose for changing the name of this article. Main reason for opposing a name change is precedence: Solar tower has been used for the solar observatory for over a century. On the other hand, as I have argued somewhere else, Solar tower is very ambiguous: a Google search yields a zillion unrelated hits. Adding Observatory as a keyword gives much more relevant hits. So if we were to change the name of this article I would argue to change it to Solar observatory tower; nice thing about that is that it is in line with Solar Observatory Tower Meudon. Since there is already a Solar tower (disambiguation) I would either redirect Solar tower to there, or to Solar observatory tower. JdH 13:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Re Solar observatory tower - as I understand Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names), we should use the common name, which is solar tower. Then, following Wikipedia:Naming conventions (precision), we should use an appropriate disambiguation technique - the use of a dab note, or an explanatory term in brackets. So the options, in my mind, are changing it to something like Solar tower (observatory) or Solar tower (astronomy), or keeping it as Solar tower. --Singkong2005 talk 14:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

text: neutral For optimal clarity, the different contextual usages of 'solar tower' should be distinguished by parenthesized clarifications (e.g. 'solar tower (astronomy)')(since Wikipedia is not really the place to redefine terminology). However the naming we have now is not bad considering we have a visable disambiguation page and don't have two different articles distinguished by capital letters. --Jake11 18:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
