Talk:Lamplighter

Turn this into a disambiguation page?
This page mostly has links to groups and works with "Lamplighter" in the title. Would anyone object to my marking it as a disambiguation page, and moving the section about the traditional occupation into a Lamplighter (occupation) page? -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Narsil (talk • contribs) 03:45, 17 October 2007

What's significant about that exact date? Why is it called out specifically? ApLundell (talk) 02:30, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
