Talk:Garbage collection (disambiguation)

Latest comment: 8 years ago by Cuchullain in topic Requested move 5 April 2016

This page needs to be moved to a less misleading title, such as Garbage collection in memory management, or something like that. See naming conventions. --LMS

Just because you think Garbage collection as a civic service is more important than Garbage collection as a memory management strategy? Obviously there is a context and bias problem, but I came to this page and found what I expected (I used to write garbage collectors for a living). I assume you did not? --drj Hmm. My comments were clearly written too hastily. I don't mean to be that harsh, but the fence has two sides, and people live on both sides of it. --drj

I used to be employed collecting trash, and I assume you did not :-) But that is irrelevant. Rather, what is relevant is that there are many people using Wikipedia, with many different backgrounds and scopes of preconceived contexts. Garbage collection as a civic service should not go in as Garbage collection either. Garbage collection should be a short pointer page to both topics, each under separate articles. They need clearly unambiguous terms to the general public in them. "Computer" should be in the title of the one (perhaps Computer memory garbage collection) and something clear like "civic" or "municipal" in the other. --Alan Millar

Split. --drj.

The result of the move request was: Move. We have consensus that waste collection is the primary topic, so the dab page will be moved. Cúchullain t/c 15:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply



Garbage collectionGarbage collection (disambiguation) – Move to make way to redirect this title to its primary title topic, Waste collection. Garbage redirects to its primary topic, Municipal waste. Garbage collection, as a subtopic of Garbage, should point to the corresponding article about the collection of municipal waste. In terms of society and the scope of human history, of course, waste collection is also the much more important topic. bd2412 T 13:16, 5 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
