Talk:GOP

Umm, I'm just wondering why some feel the need to turn this into a disambiguation page. "Government of Pakistan"? Who in the entire world uses "GOP" to refer to that? Is there any reason whatsoever to not have the page redirect to the Republican party? Matt Yeager ♫ ( Talk? ) 06:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * GOP also means Government of Pakistan. What is the harm in it? --Spasage 07:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Google up GOP for me . Generally speaking, when the first hundred results for a page on Google give you the exact same meaning of a given acronym, we tend to make that a redirect. I can't find a shred of evidence that supports your theory that GOP is ever used as an abbreviation for the Government of Pakistan. Oh, and the harm of a disambiguation page? Wikipedia's the #7 result for a GOP google search, and if we don't send people clicking on that link directly to the Republican Party's site, we'll be a laughingstock. Please, please refrain from trying to make this a disamb page without at least giving some evidence and making your point first. Matt Yeager ♫ ( Talk? ) 06:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd think that it is the issue of systematic American bias: sure, in US GOP means the party, but for over 5 billion people outside US who use this international Wiki it can mean a lot of different things.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * But not really. If you say "what does 'UEFA' mean?" to most Americans, they will give you a blank look. But that does not invalidate the logic of UEFA's article referring to the Union of European Football Associations. Why? Because there's really nothing else notable that it refers to. Really. Nothing. Look at Google if you don't really believe me.  Matt Yeager   ♫  (Talk?)  21:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
