Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Band[edit]

The article Lanner and District Silver Band has been proposed for deletion. Shame. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 17:45, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no move. No evidence provided to establish WP:PRIMARYUSAGE. JPG-GR (talk) 22:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this article could be moved to Lanner? Seems a bit of unnecessary disambiguation to me. --Joowwww (talk) 13:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No objection. Presumably there would be a "Lanner (disambiguation)" page with a link to a "Lanner (surname)" page. Note that GOGGLE search yields a number of electronic uses of "lanner", related to "Local Area Network". There's also a Lanner Gorge in South Africa. Vernon White ^{. . .

There's the bird, which as I recall was just as likely the correct target for misdirected links to Lanner. DuncanHill (talk) 19:52, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose. The dab page is already rather large. It does not even include the many companies that go by the name Lanner. To replace a dab page you really need to show a strong case for primary use. This proposal does not even address a primary use and if you try, I suspect it would be difficult, if not impossible, to show that anything is the primary use. Since nothing is broken nothing needs fixing. Dictionaries I checked show the bird as the only use so, if anything, the bird may have a case for primary use. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dictionaries wouldn't show anything else anyway because they don't list proper nouns. And since Wikipedia isn't a directory, a list of companies won't be appearing there very quickly. My point was that the only use of the single term "Lanner" is of the village, every other use has it as either a prefix or a surname. --Joowwww (talk) 09:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not true. I entered New York and got hits for New York, New York minute, New York Bay, New York State Barge Canal and West New York. So the dictionaries do list places and things. Also several of the companies apparently only are know as Lanner. Also the dictionaries also use lanner to refer specifically to a female lanner. So lanner as a single term can also mean a female bird of the species. But the case here needs to be to show that there is a primary usage. I don't believe that this discussion is showing that. And the more we question, the more likely the female bird may be the primary usage from a worldwide perspective. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you're getting confused between a dictionary and an encyclopedia. --Joowwww (talk) 21:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the dab page has had further uses added since the proposal was made, and dictionaries rarely include places and people. DuncanHill (talk) 09:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another Comment OED has the first mention of the Lanner Falcon in The buke of John Maundeuill being the travels of Sir J. Mandeville knight 1322–56 c 1400, with no suggestion of the reason for this name. The name of the Cornish village was originally "Lannarth" and is probably unconnected with the Lanner Falcon. It would be interesting to know how the place in South Africa got its name - many Cornish miners emigrated to Africa. OED has found the term LAN cropping up first in 1981. Hope we don't spend too much time on arguing about this proposal. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 20:57, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
