I want this page deleted and rename Kiwi (disambiguation) to Kiwi. A disambiguation page should be the word that is in need of disambiguation. GerardM 10:22, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * I made Kiwi into the disambiguation page by copying the text from Kiwi (disambiguation). Now the latter is a redundant page that can be removed.  SWAdair | Talk  10:37, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Honestly why didn't you just leave things the way they were. This has been discussed several times over the years (see Talk:Culture_of_New_Zealand and Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation/Archive 3) the consensus was the article Kiwi should be about the bird and have a link to a disambiguation page. There are over 50 articles currently linking to Kiwi and the vast majority are for the bird.  -- Popsracer 11:18, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. IMO Kiwi should be the bird, other meanings are derivative, as at the date of writing. But more to the point, the idea that all (disambiguation) pages should be removed would represent a major change of policy, and should be discussed in the appropriate places.

 * Keep Kiwi as the bird. Rmhermen 14:50, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Kiwi should link directly to the page about the bird. Average Earthman 16:24, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep it as it is, when one use of the word is so much the most significant (as in this case, where all the other uses are derived from the kiwi bird), it deserves the main page - the main page should only be a disambiguation when dealing with topics of similar significance. &mdash;Stormie 23:34, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Oops. My bad.  I wasn't aware of the previous discussions.  SWAdair | Talk  04:30, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete (disambig) and move content to "Kiwi" ... as dismabiguation and not as a direct link to the bird -- this much confusion among WP editors shows the word's understood meaning is so in flux that it should, for clarity to the reader, be listed primarily as a dismbig page. Davodd 23:02, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep Kiwi as the article about the bird. Other uses of "Kiwi" are derivative and should stay on the (separate) disambiguation page. Rossami 01:47, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Logical. Moriori 00:07, Jun 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. A disambiguation page certainly need not be the word that is being disambigged, and this is a clear case thereof. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:13, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
