As I understand the [[CZ:disambiguation|disambiguation]] concept, it does not include cases like this one in which the base page name can be reduced to one principle that applies to all entries currently listed. In such cases, I think it is better to have the general principle outlined in the base page article, which then (along with its related Articles page) can link to all the different types. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 19:30, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Is "disambiguation" appropriate here?

As I understand the disambiguation concept, it does not include cases like this one in which the base page name can be reduced to one principle that applies to all entries currently listed. In such cases, I think it is better to have the general principle outlined in the base page article, which then (along with its related Articles page) can link to all the different types. --Daniel Mietchen 19:30, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Milt suggested electrical power plant as the more general term; perhaps that should become a main article rather than disambiguation. "Power plant" is used in other contexts, such as marine propulsion or heavy construction equipment. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:38, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
