Talk:dustbowl

RFD discussion: March–November 2018
“The central region of the United States during the 1930s.” and “The 1930s period.”


 * I don’t think these are common nouns. has both senses (and they are better written there). — Ungoliant (falai) 21:26, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's no need to have these, even as altform defs. PseudoSkull (talk) 20:12, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is a distinct difference between "a dustbowl" and "the dustbowl."  Though it would be less ambiguous if capitalized as Dustbowl.  Nicole Sharp (talk) 04:21, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I suppose these should be sent to RFV to look for any usage where the lowercase form means one of those things specifically and can't just be taken as a use of the general sense. (If no such usage exists, delete.) - -sche (discuss) 19:30, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Kept. bd2412 T 18:29, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Conditional delete, as per -sche. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 00:18, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as an alt form if it can pass RfV. Purplebackpack89 15:45, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Should be kept as an alternative to dust bowl. The US one is not the only thing called that. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:56, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * keep (at least "The central region of the United States during the 1930s"). In anticipation of sche's suggestion that these be sent to RFV, I did some digging, and have cited this. I am happy to delete "The 1930s period", but the cites I added support including the synonym of Dust Bowl, and clearly refer to "the" dustbowl, not just any dustbowl.
