Redirect?

[edit]

Anyone else think this article should redirect to USS Arizona (BB-39) the one sank during Pearl Harbor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sasha Callahan (talkcontribs) 02:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, because this is a disambiguation page to direct people to all the ships named Arizona in the US Navy.-MBK004 21:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

[edit]

Rewrote the opening paragraph which previously said that all three were named for the State of Arizona then proceeded to explain that Arizona was not a state when the first two were commissioned.Irish Melkite (talk) 22:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CVN-79

[edit]

Has the Navy said anything about CVN-79 being named Arizona? La Maupin (talk) 18:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

[edit]

Resurrecting an old idea, but what does anyone think about moving this to USS Arizona (disambiguation) and moving USS Arizona (BB-39) to this title, given the latter's significance? Shereth 18:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved. per consensus, the list to be treated as a set index and be moved accordingly. there is also consensus that BB-39 ship is the primary topic. – robertsky (talk) 11:04, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]


– I believe that the USS Arizona sunk at Pearl Harbor is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC under both criteria. As for usage, over the past 180 days, it's received over 89% of views: 265,274 vs. 20,481 for the modern ship, 8,432 for the DAB page, 1,469 for the Civil War ship, and 778 for the Neshaminy. Under long-term significance, the articles that could be titled USS Arizona consist of only US ships and there's no reason to expect that will change any time soon, and this Arizona is one of the most historically significant US ships of any name.

Here's the pageview data. Egsan Bacon (talk) 01:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. USS Arizona (1858)2,900 page views in the last year
  2. USS Arizona (BB-39)512,000 page views in the last year
  3. USS Arizona (SSN-803)33,000 pages views in the last year
So, with those statistics, plus the USS Arizona Memorial named Wikipedia article, I must support a renaming under the ideology of primary topic. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:13, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There will be many more Arizonas in the future. The naming of most these articles is already contentious, because they're based on hull numbers, and not launch dates as originally agreed on the project.
If the system is not broken why are we going to fix it. -Broichmore (talk) 07:19, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
