OK then. Let's call it [[demography of fertility]], if you don't like [[fertility (demography)]]--which I think is clearer. Either one would makes it clearer what the topic of the article is at a glance. The current title does not, or will not to many readers. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 19:05, 8 October 2007 (CDT) |
Revision as of 19:05, 8 October 2007
Article title
Do we need to disambiguate this article by including 'demography' in the title. Could it not live at fertility? Derek Harkness 09:04, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
- This article is entirely about the demographic aspects of fertility (with zero on biology or medicine or topics like infertility remedies.) Richard Jensen 00:59, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
APPROVED Version 1.0
This article really should exist at fertility (demography) or else fertility (demographics). The current titling is contrary to policy, idiosyncratic, and completely confusing. --Larry Sanger 18:22, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- Yes, this escaped my attention. Obviously the article is about fertility, so that should be the lead word. With demography in brackets. --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 18:29, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- I think Richard addressed that above. --Matt Innis (Talk) 18:37, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
- I don't see how, Matt. He just said that the article concerns the demographic aspects of fertility. Thus the word "demography" or "demographics" (don't ask me which is correct) in parentheses. I agree it shouldn't live at fertility. --Larry Sanger 18:44, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
