Mine → Mine (disambiguation) – Mine should become a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to Mining, as a {{R from common noun}}. Mining is the long-term significant WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Mine". SST flyer 01:41, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose explosives/military mines are also very common, and frequently used in text. Indeed, Princess Di was for the outlawing of anti-personnel mines, while the hazard of mines is a common topic in former war zones, and affect the common people more than the resource extraction type. Loose mines at sea are also hazards to shipping, as evidenced in the Persian Gulf from the 1980s, or after WWI and WWII; and hazards to divers for sunken mines from prior eras. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 03:39, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Mining is the primary topic for the digging aspect, so I don't see Mine as being so overwhelmingly primary otherwise. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:25, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: two main uses, digging and explosive, neither of which is clear primary topic. PamD 12:04, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I agree with others that there's no basis to say the digging sense is primary over the explosives sense. older ≠ wiser 12:09, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
