Fuel pump (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Disambiguation is not required (WP:2DABS). There are only 2 proper entries and the primary topic Fuel pump has a hatnote to Fuel dispenser. Fuel primer pump is not known as "fuel pump" so I moved it to See also but was reverted. PROD was reverted by with no edit summary. A related discussion is at Talk:Fuel pump.

 * Delete per nom. WP:ONEOTHER is the relevant shortcut to the specific guideline. Tevildo (talk) 11:17, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

 * I have added another use in the disambiguation page. Relisting. Neel.arunabh (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:20, 14 July 2020‎
 * Comment New addition (Turbopump) does not require disambiguation per WP:DABCONCEPT.  A link to the turbopump article already appears on the main Fuel pump page. Tevildo (talk) 21:49, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * What about "Fuel pump equipped in an aircraft, controlled by one of the typical aircraft engine controls"?Neel.arunabh (talk) 00:48, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That's just a specific application of a fuel pump, not a separate topic. In any case, the redirect only goes to one sentence of Aircraft engine controls, not to an independent article. Tevildo (talk) 01:17, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless disambig page. Rreagan007 (talk) 17:51, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Note that the aircraft engine controls meaning is literally a fuel pump configured to be controlled by the pilot of an aircraft. BD2412  T 01:18, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly good and useful navigation page for readers. "Fuel pump" is a synonym for "fuel dispenser" and for "turbopump", as well as being mentioned twice in the 3rd entry as both a "fuel primer pump" and a "fuel boost pump". This page should stay in mainspace and be improved when possible.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 21:35, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment This would be a valid keep rationale if we had multiple articles on the subject of fuel pumps. However, at present, we only have two (Fuel pump itself and Fuel dispenser), and WP:ONEOTHER applies.  A Turbopump is a type of pump, not specifically a type of fuel pump (they're also used as oxidizer pumps in rocket engines), and should, IMO, be deleted from the dab page if it's retained.  Fuel primer pump is a one-sentence WP:DICDEF that is unlikely to be expanded into its own article - were that to happen, then a dab page would be reasonable.  But that isn't the case as things stand. Tevildo (talk) 22:04, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I remain unconvinced that ONEOTHER applies. Neither page views nor long term significance leads me to accept that Fuel pump is the primary topic. What other evidence is there that supports that assertion?  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 01:11, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. At most, there is only one other use, and even that is borderline. Station1 (talk) 23:43, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
