Cornish College of the Arts[edit]

Hi there, I recently edited a college into the Cornish disambiguation page and you edited the entry out stating that the disambiguation pages don't work like that, referencing my edit summary. Cornish College of the Arts, the school that I added to the page, is very typically referred to as Cornish, and as such it would be quite normal for someone searching for the college's entry would type just that, leading them to the disambiguation page where (currently) Cornish College of the Arts would not be listed, probably ending their search here on Wiki. This makes the article that concerns the college in the backends of Wiki and difficult to access. Also, I would like to cite (as an example) the Willamette disambiguation page, where Willamette University is quite plainly listed. I can't see any difference between the two cases, except for that the term Cornish is used as an adjective to refer to many different things, which I think is a moot point in this case because Cornish is used because it was the name of the founder of the college (a Nellie Cornish), as opposed to the school being located in Cornwall or the founder/faculty being Cornish. As it stands, I would like to request that Cornish College of the Arts remains in the Cornish disambiguation page so that it will be more accessible to those who may be looking for it. However, if you still feel after the explanation that it goes against the workings of the disambiguation pages, that's perfectly alright of course, but I would request that you either respond here or in my user talk page with the reasons so I have a better understanding of the matter.

In this case, since the college is commonly refered to as "Cornish", rather than its full name, you are correct in placing it here. I have added the link back (with some minor tidying). Joe D (t) 07:02, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, glad we got that figured out. Teliis 07:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
