Talk:Steerage

The negros commnet seems a bit POV too me.. there were white steerage passengers too mind you, especially Irish immigrnats. --Saint-Paddy 03:20, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

You've both lost me. We didn't get too many negroes immigrating here (Australia), but thousands came steerage. Immigration has as little to do with it as race: steerage was a common class of cheap ticket in former times. However, I won't edit the article because it is not a subject I know about more than I've just noted. (Alpheus 10:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC))

Should steerage (the boat type) and steerage (the people) be separate articles? Stale Fries 02:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so, no.

confusing description
So you describe the configuration of an 18th century ( wooden, sailing ) warship, and then go directly without change of context to a late 19th century ( iron, steamship ) passenger ship. That's highly confusing.

Steerage (deck) → Steerage – Restore original page title which the article remained at from 2004-2013. The shorter title has remained as a redirect since the page was moved. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 02:39, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:53, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Or move Steerage (disambiguation) to Steerage? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:53, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Support - primary topic and meaning of the word. Avoids the awkward disambigution currently used. -- Netoholic @ 08:31, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (|Steerage_(ship) pageviews). This will revert the undiscussed page move. Station1 (talk) 08:56, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Per Station1 since the deck article gets over 20x the views of the ship article (which has been PRODED). The Steerage is a PTM so I'm not sure if we even need the DAB, especially if the ship article is deleted.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 13:59, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
