Baby Boom
This page has been split into the following: baby boom, baby boomer, year 2000 baby boom and post-WW2 baby boom. The original article refers to baby boom as if it were a single instance, and has now been made redundant by the better categorisation above. Nicholas

POST SNAFU NOTICE: Baby Boom is an ICONIC TERM widely used in literature, reportage, .... the list goes on and on and on; but is apparently unknown to our childrens generation. The upshot of this vote was the redirect went to Baby Boom (movie) leaving about 35 links using baby boom as an iconic discriptor pointing the wrong places. This was a very poor chain of decisions starting with the cultural ignorance that lead to this Vfd. I'm herewith fixing the redirect to at least point to the Baby boomer article which is on point. Another spin off, is the creation of Baby boom as a seperate article with some merit. What a F%#%&*#$ Mess!!! Please see Me... and do pennanceFra nkB 09:14, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Notified all voters above as follows:
 * I assume by "iconic" you are talking about the post-WW II baby boom rather than other baby booms in history. There is nothing keeping you or anyone else from altering the current Baby Boom article (a redirect page) to better fit into WP. This forum was simply a vote on whether to delete Baby Boom from WP - that proposition failed. I think we all agree an article by that name should exist here. If you do not like the current content of that page, I suggest you be bold and change it, rather than complaining about the folks who voted to keep it around to be changed by future editors. When you do this, you also may want to include a link to a generic Baby Boom (disambiguation) page to assist readers who are trying to find info on the film, the TV series and the various books that went by that name, since they all are proper nouns with the second "B" capitalized. - Davodd 10:15, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
