Merge

I wouldn't. There must be at least a dozen wooden-hulled ships named Phoenix, plus a few more steel hulled ones.Pustelnik (talk) 02:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm! Fifteen in HMS Phoenix (only one with an article, however), six in USS Phoenix (three with articles) and another nine in Phoenix (ships with this name) (seven with articles). And this list is already quite long. -- Donald Albury 13:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I merged Phoenix (ships with this name) to Phoenix to avoid content forking. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenix films

There were two sci-fi films made that seem to have been overlooked called Phoenix and Phoenix II - I can't find articles so can anyone tell me anything more about them/create an article? I've seen the first a while back, they were made in 1995 and 1998. Tom walker 21:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC) There are two "Flight of the Phoenix" films, about constrcting a flyable airplane from the wreckage of another. Pustelnik 20:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of external links

External links should not generally be on a dab page, as per guidelines. I will list them here in case someone wants to use them to create articles: --Paul Erik 02:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where should the redirect point? (adding to old discussion)

I think this should point to the mythological bird, Phoenix, AZ was named after Phoneix the bird. Also the City is the 4th meaning for Phoenix in the wiktionary, the bird is the first. I don't see what the dispute is even over, the bird wins hands down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.76.62 (talk • contribs) 05:27, 6 March 2007

The question in the section heading is not relevant anymore: This is now not a redirect but a disambiguation page. The question of which order the two main referents should be cited at the top of the disamb page is not worth much energy. I'm happy with letting people who have a strong opinion either way switch them around from time to time, as long as it does not devolve into disruptive edit warring. –Henning Makholm 13:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The argument over this ended a while ago, but I don't know why there even was one. The majority of people in the world refer to the bird when they say 'phoenix', a mythical bird which has been used in mythology for thousands of years, it is only in the U.S. (which accounts for less than 5% of the world's population) to describe the city. 172.207.122.165 (talk) 23:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two really quick points (I'm not interested in fighting this again, just letting you know why it was decided this way) : first, the bird doesn't even exist. Second, the % of the world's people is irrelevant. This is the English-language Wikipedia--only English speakers matter here. The U.S. clearly makes up a larger portion of that (still not a majority, but much closer). So the ease of U.S. readers is kind of important. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 01:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Language

Phoenix language, a extinct language of unknown origin existing in western Europe sometime before Roman invasion

Nonexistent article, doesn't seem to turn up anything on Google... anyone want to look into this in more detail? --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 12:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and deleted it until someone can cite a good reliable source. -- Donald Albury 13:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Must have meant 'Phoenican language' in 'Ancient Greece' (south-eastern Europe) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.246.56 (talk) 00:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or possibly "Phoenician". Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:12, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
