Cleanup

[edit]

This page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB. I removed the following entries for non-notability as a wikipedia entry or for unlikelyhood of "tiger" as a search term for them:

Removed for being red-links and having a rather empty "What links here" page, i.e. highly suspected of non-notability:

Removed as per MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created:

In the cases where my rationale was obviously wrong, please copy the mistakenly removed entry back on the main page. – sgeureka tc 23:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New dab page

[edit]

I created a new disamiguation page at The Tigers ... it was a Japanese band article, but the number of 'see also's had gotten rather unwieldy. I linked it at the top of this disambiguation page. ~Eliz81(C) 03:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TIGER Federal Grant Program

[edit]

‘‘Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery’’ or ‘‘TIGER Discretionary Grants,’’ a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The latter appropriated $1.5 billion of discretionary grant funds to be awarded by the Department of Transportation for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure.

Tiger something vs. a (something) tiger

[edit]

The rules of English syntax make it clear that, for example, chocolate milk is a kind of milk, while milk chocolate is a kind of chocolate. Therefore, we don't need every animal called "a tiger fish" or "tiger flower", but rather only those called, for example "marsupial tiger" or "saber-tooth tiger".

The butterflies are all "foo tiger", not "tiger foo" (I think most folks would be pretty WP:ASTONISHed by where Malay tiger leads). And Arctiidae notes that tiger moths may be referred to simply as "tigers". These entries belong here. Plantdrew (talk) 20:12, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
