 * I've tried finding one, and came across a couple nice examples, but couldn't track down copyright information. I'll renew my search when I have some time. PaladinWhite 01:56, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Boarding in Video Games
The majority of this article is written from a historical/real-world perspective. The section on boarding in video games is poorly written and very limited, and it is hardly relevant in the context of the rest of this article. It should either be rewritten or deleted entirely. 68.15.226.72 21:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I think that it shows a real-world and modern connection. Deletion is not necessary, but rewriting it would be the best course to take. --Patar knight 16:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

 * 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 move per discussion to  to allow natural disambiguation and avoid misleading parenthetical disambiguator.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Boarding (attack) → Boarding (naval) – Not all naval boardings are an "attack" per se. The vast majority of modern boardings are police and customs actions in routine searches for contraband. It is a stretch -- and a bit insulting -- to refer to these kinds of boardings as "attacks". However, all boardings on this page are naval in nature so Boarding (naval) is a sufficient to disambiguate. Niamh (talk) 23:42, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NATURAL how about naval boarding or maritime boarding ? -- 65.94.78.70 (talk) 09:04, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I concur. These are very good alternatives as well.  Of the two, I would prefer naval boarding. Niamh (talk) 09:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong support naval boarding, with a solid support for the proposed title or even maritime boarding, though that title's a bit too fancy for my liking. Red Slash 03:42, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Support naval boarding, natural disambiguation. Generally, people are too quick in throwing something in parenthesis as disambiguator before considering alternatives. walk victor falktalk 06:13, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
