Talk:Roof of the world

I'll put my original argument from "Tibet (Discussion))" here:

Objection against Redirect "Roof of the World" to "Tibet"
I object against the redirection of "Roof of the World" to "Tibet". Before Tibet got into the limelight, the term "Roof of the World" was applied to the Pamirs, see: Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th ed., 1911):  , a mountainous region of central Asia...the Bam-i-dunya ("The Roof of the World") or The Columbia Encyclopedia,1942 ed., p.1335: "Pamir (Persian =roof of the world)" - see also  homepages of the Pamir area:  Pamirs, a region they know as POMIR – “the roof of the world".

"Roof of the World" is a term that refers to the geography, not the political situation of the area in question. This is why the link "Tibet" in the entry takes you the the Tibetan Plateau. Please, do NOT REDIRECT the entry to Tibet! One extra ckick will not hurt anybody! Thank you. --Marschner (talk) 17:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If possible, try to change the main article title to "Roof of the World" (with capital W). Much better than "Roof of the world" (with lower-case w). This may require asking an administrator to delete the existing "Roof of the World" (which is just a redirect) and make room for move. --Zlerman (talk) 02:29, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
