Gooney bird → Gooney bird (disambiguation) – It seems to me that albatross is the primary topic for this term. I propose moving this dab to Gooney bird (disambiguation) and making Gooney bird a redirect to albatross. Nick Number (talk) 03:43, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose given the weak "it seems to me" justification for this primarytopic claim. Dicklyon (talk) 21:45, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- You're seriously contending that the nickname of the airplane is a commonly-used meaning? I doubt even many aviation enthusiasts would make that association. Nick Number (talk) 12:53, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't see Dick say that, only that "it seems to me" is a weak argument without any numbers to back it up. But now that we're at it, I on the other hand am saying that. Google books searches find 22,900 hits for Gooney bird + C-47 but only 12,800 hits for Gooney bird + albatross. So you'll have to show me better evidence of primary topic.

- By way of precedent, the primary topic for Eagle is the bird, rather than F-15 Eagle. Likewise for Falcon and F-16 Falcon. Both of these are much better-known aircraft than the C-47. Nick Number (talk) 17:24, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

- Oppose unless primary topic can be backed up with more than "it seems to me" (see G hits above). Wilhelm Meis (☎ Diskuss | ✍ Beiträge) 02:41, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
