Anyone have a problem with this being moved to The Magician (tarot)? It fits better with the naming, and then can better be linked to from a disambiguation page. - UtherSRG 01:15, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. --Spikey 02:25, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Titles are generally disambiguated by what they are, so I would prefer The Magician (Tarot card) (I think Tarot is always capitalized). There are other exceptions, for various reasons, so it isn't vital, but The Magician is not a Tarot, it is a Tarot card. Tuf-Kat
According to Wikipedia:Disambiguation,
The word or phrase in parentheses should be one of two things: a generic noun describing what the specific title is an instance of (for example, Mercury (element), Seal (mammal)); or the subject or context to which the term applies (for example, Union (set theory), Inflation (economics)).
So it can be either. I think I agree in this case, though. --Spikey 02:50, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I found articles in both The Magician (Tarot card) and The Magician (Tarot). I merged the information into The Magician (Tarot card) as this seems to be the prevailing naming scheme. The Magician (Tarot) is now a redirect. Spudtater 19 Apr 2005


I removed the "Examples" section since it was entirely Original Research which Wikipedia does not allow. I left the "mythopoeteic interpretation" section because that may have come from a reputable source but it seems to be something based on personal interpretation like the "Examples" section. - DNewhall
