Talk:Sol

The sun
I disagree that it is important to distinguish that "Sol" is not the English name. Readers who reach this page are looking for something called "sol" or "SOL". If they're looking for the article on the Sun, then it doesn't matter to them that "sol" is not the English name. The article Sun can explain that distinction as needed. Instead, we should place the link to the ambiguous article first in the entry, again for the benefit of the reader trying to reach the correct page. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:04, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * There is no reason not to include the information, and it benefits the reader. --Ckatz chat spy  20:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for engaging. The information in the article benefits the reader. The information in the disambiguation page only needs to help the reader find the article with the information. -- JHunterJ (talk) 02:05, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I would second this; as an annoyed reader trying to find Sol_(star) it is much more convenient to explain that on the destination page, not the disambiguation page.50.5.39.42 (talk) 23:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Is the usage of SOL as an acronym for "Shit Out of Luck" notable enough to be included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.198.26.33 (talk • contribs) 02:31, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. (I visited this page looking for that definition. The phrase is also the name of an album listed on this page, so I found it, but...) How should it be categorized? 164.119.77.210 (talk) 19:52, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes. The album title already mentioned here is doubtless a reference to the common expression, which predates said album.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.97.110.58 (talk) 01:16, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: consensus not to move the page as proposed at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 04:30, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Sol → Sol (disambiguation) – I think Sol should redirect to Sun because I believe it is the primary topic. 2601:183:101:58D0:21FA:6823:6996:3DB1 (talk) 23:08, 24 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose because Wikipedia is an English encyclopedia, not a Latin dictionary. —  AjaxSmack  23:23, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Those seeking the source of all our power will not type "Sol" as their initial term — and even those that do — will find Sun at the very top of the Sol disambiguaion page.   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:47, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose and speedy close In ictu oculi (talk) 16:29, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose per sheer number of options on the disambiguation page, and utter lack of evidence that this is the primary intended meaning. bd2412  T 17:20, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per WP:NOPRIMARY. Many people don't attribute "Sol" to the sun.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:10, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * “Sol” *is* the proper name of the sun, but just almost never used except adjectively. Whatever, sol should go to the DAB page. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:40, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Link to Solar System?
I saw that the link to the solar system was removed, because it "doesn't fit in a disambiguation page". But I've seen cases where the entire solar system is referred to as Sol.

Should a link to the Solar System stay? I was thinking about placing the link further down, but that seems silly.

S.O.L.
I’ve read about this term in a translated article by Niall Ferguson at https://www.nzz.ch/feuilleton/niall-ferguson-coronavirus-politik-und-wirtschaftsdepression-ld.1552561. The expression ought to be mentioned here, but does not varrant a full Wikipedia entry. – Fritz Jörn (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:29, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
