Boring (disambiguation)Boring – While "boring" perhaps most commonly refers to Boredom in everyday speech, it is certainly not what most people would commonly search for on an encyclopedia. People expect article titles to be WP:NOUNs, and anything else would WP:ASTONISH them. As an encyclopedic term "Boring", Boring (earth) is at least as prominent, if not more so, as Boredom.

A gerund like boring (earth) or boring (manufacturing) is a noun. "In machining, boring is the process of....." The placename Borings are also proper nouns. Dohn joe (talk) 15:51, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As a standalone title boring is a verb. Primergrey (talk) 18:51, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
