American Eagle (disambiguation) → American Eagle – In checking links to American Eagle over last few months, I have found that about 3/4ths of the links are intended to go to American Eagle (airline brand) and the remainder are split between the clothing brand, the bird and all others. That means that great majority of the links were going to the wrong place. Bald eagle does win for long-term significance, but the present redirect is not helping readers. See https://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/summary.py?name=SchreiberBike&search=instead+of+bird&max=500&server=enwiki&ns= (takes a while to load) for some of the pages I've corrected. Thank you.

 * American Eagle (disambiguation), would change to a redirect to American Eagle
 * The hat note at Bald eagle would be changed to read:

 * Support. The first thing that actually comes to mind, for me, is American Eagle Outfitters. Steel1943  (talk) 16:17, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, I would just remove the hatnote since after the move, "American Eagle" will no longer redirect to "Bald Eagle". Steel1943  (talk) 17:32, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Never mind on that; I just realized that the hatnote comment is in regards to WP:DIFFCAPS, and I'm currently neutral about the hatnote since I'm neutral about WP:DIFFCAPS. Steel1943  (talk) 17:34, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * American eagle and American Eagle would point to two different places. It seems more likely that a reader capitalizing "Eagle" is looking for the brand, while a person leaving it lowercase is looking for the bird. The proposal does not address the lowercase version. bd2412  T 17:37, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Your edit may have been an . Yeah, I have no desire to dispute WP:DIFFCAPS at this time for this discussion. Steel1943  (talk) 18:29, 25 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Support should be a dab page In ictu oculi (talk) 21:43, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose, no one so far involved in this RM or previously has been bothered to move the main subject, the bald eagle, from the low down of the listing disambiguation listing. Wikipedia is not a directory.  There is the american eagle, eagle and versions of American eagle, something else.  GregKaye  ✍ ♪  02:36, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Rearranged per your suggestion. Thank you. SchreiberBike talk 06:48, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
