Talk:Twin Towers (disambiguation)

message: Dear editors,
: The New York WTC link have been removed due to the fact that this is a disambig page, not a list of all the twin-towers ever in existence, as doing so will clutter the page. Please link the article to lists such as this or/and this. No harm done, its just to follow rules of disambig pages. All comments welcome. Have a good day. Rehman (talk) 14:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of NY-WTC 

message: I am a student who needs to make a presentation on a country. My country is America, and so I needed something for America. I decided to include the Twin Towers, because that's a major part of America. So I went online and started searching the Twin Towers, but believe it or not all I got was World Trade Center Articles and Videos of the Twin Towers collapsing. The point is, I wanted to make an article on Wikipedia, but I just don't know how.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thedude7195 (talk • contribs) 00:38, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved. There is no consensus that the towers destroyed in 2001 are the primary topic of this term.   (t · c) buidhe 07:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Twin Towers →  – There is a clear WP:PTOPIC for the search term "Twin Towers": the two towers that were in the World Trade Center (1973-2001) that were destroyed during the September 11 terrorist attacks. As such, the base article should point to that page, while this disambiguation page should be moved to have "(disambiguation)" in its title. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:11, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose: There is not a clear WP:PTOPIC, and in no way has this been demonstrated here. The disambiguation page shows a profusion of relevant pages, and searches for "twin towers" are littered by, among other things, references to the Petronas Twin Towers. A scholar search likewise produces a distinct mixed bag, and the relevance of the NYC towers also dims with every passing year. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There should really be a "Twin towers (architecture)" page too in the mix given both what is apparent in the scholar search and the significance of the architectural motif, but architectural articles are a bit of an area of neglect here. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:30, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus is in favor of the move in accordance with the World Trade Center being the primary topic. (closed by non-admin page mover) EggRoll97 (talk)  23:22, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose: The PTOPIC argument has actually weakened since the last RM, with a considerable amount of traffic now going to Twin towers (architecture), in addition to the legion other structures with similar names or nicknames. As has been noted previously, the trade centre might be the primary topic for "the twin towers", but it is more apt to keep the generic "twin towers" as a crossroads of disambiguation. Iskandar323 (talk) 20:23, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't change the fact the World Trade Center still has way more pageviews, and most people searching up Twin Towers still look for the WTC. SouthParkFan2006 (talk) 14:38, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: And I should point out that this is not US-centric either. I'm in the UK, and overwhelmingly the Twin Towers refers to the WTC here too. It did before the attack and it still does after. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:59, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If you were Malaysian, you'd likely associate it with the Petronas Towers, so yes, still systemic bias. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:07, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The USA has 10 times the population of Malaysia and way more Internet users are American than Malaysian. Besides, the Petronas Twin Towers are never just known as only the "Twin Towers". SouthParkFan2006 (talk) 17:20, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

text: WP:PRIMARYTOPIC mentions likelihood of interest and long-term significance. The first is debatable, subjective and subject to systemic bias; the latter diminishes with time, as more and more people are born who are unfamiliar with the name in connection with the WTC with every passing moment. As an ever receding historic connection, it can only become less domineering with time. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:04, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: What you describe is entirely subjective. Evidence suggests the WTC is the primary topic by a wide margin. Perhaps in 50 years the evidence might support some of what you say, but for now it does not. older ≠ wiser 16:13, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

text: Support - Makes sense as Twin Towers usually refer to these two buildings destroyed on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. 120.28.224.32 (talk) 06:22, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
