Talk:Manhattan solstice

They definitely should be merged and my preference is for Manhattanhenge to be the surviving name since the solistice is not the date the event occurs. Americasroof 14:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

The term "Manhattan solstice" I took from the New York Times. It has the advantage that it suggests, regardless of its inappropiateness, a point in time, while "Manhattanhenge" does not. On the other hand, Google gives 20 times as many for more occurrences for "Manhattanhenge", so it seems to be the more popular term. HannsEwald 10:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I prefer Manhattan solstice myself but I haven't really encountered either of the terms before. To me solstice suggests a moment in time (which is the key here I think) as opposed to Manhattanhenge which suggests an object. Cjrother 18:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
