Ugly is POV

[edit]

How about Big Beautiful dish? Or Big Gorgeous Dish? Prods aside; the term "ugly" is undeniably POV and needs to be dealt with. C-Band Satellite Dish may be a more appropriate title. If none object, I'll move and rename.

Sure, it might be POV, but this has been the colloquialism (with no pejorativity intended, mainly the term is not to be taken too seriously) that C-band dishes have been referred to for years (I remember seeing it mentioned on Usenet news years ago, in fact, the same articlew I read there, someone proposed the term could also mean "Beautiful Useful Dish" :) ). So it would be somewhat absurd, IMHO, to rename the article just because it seems non-POV, or non-PC, or what have you. Just my $0.02, though. misternuvistor (talk) 18:21, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
