Shouldn't this be a disambiguation page to avoid multiple "For the whatever" links at the top? Glenford ( talk) 19:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
The content is very similar to Aerial lift. As to the category: a cable car is never a vertical transportation device. An elevator or lift in a building is vertical, but not a cable car. -- AHert ( talk) 18:30, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
This page ( Cable car), Tramway (industrial) and Aerial tramway should all be combined and/or tidied up somehow. SewerCat ( talk) 20:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
This page's formatting was a horrible mess before (everything under the Aerial Lift section was listed as a subsection of it), so I fixed that up a bit. The information/writing needs work as well, but unfortunately I don't know enough about the subject to do so. The Anonymous Cat ( talk) 21:25, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

It seems to me that the word "Cable car" has two more or less unrelated meanings - in the UK it normally means what Wikipedia calls an aerial lift; in the US it seems it usually means what Wikipedia covers at Cable car (railway) (which in the UK I think we would call a cable-operated railway or cable tram). This seems to be trying to be an article about both those things, and about the general concept of cable transportation which we cover at Cable transport. Is there any purpose to this article, or should it just be deleted and become a disambiguation to those two pages? (I will probably propose deletion of this shortly unless someone can plausibly explain what purpose this article serves.) TSP ( talk) 17:37, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
de:Seilbahn is linked to cable car. That makes on sense. Peter Horn User talk 01:33, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
Category:Cableways links back here as it's main article which is now a disambig page. Should it be a different article? BeckyAnne (talk) 13:11, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
