And I know people may read this and think I'm refering to the "prince valiant", but I'm sure there is one called a "princeton" which is different: short fade on the sides & back, long on top, usually stylized back with a wave of some sort, not to the point of a bouffant or pompadour, but relatively long. It was common in the German military during WWII. I'm sure there may be a separate German name for it too.

Princeton →
Princeton (disambiguation) – Princeton usually refers to Princeton University. It can be assumed that Princeton usually means Princeton University besides some minor occurrences. Therefore, I added a redirect to Princeton University and believe a disambiguation page is necessary.

Oppose. "Princeton" when referring to the university is only an informal shortening of its full name. Since that article would never be moved to just "Princeton", and since the dab page gets only around 50 hits a day versus 3,000 for the university, I don't see the current setup causing any significant problems.

Support, per
WP:PRIMARYUSAGE. By far the most common usage of "Princeton" is to refer to the university. A good model for this is
Stanford, which redirects to
Stanford University, while the dab page includes an entry for
Stanford, California. Consider this statement: "My father went to Princeton." The ordinary understanding is that the speaker's father attended the university, unless some additional context existed to suggest a recent trip to the town. Lwarrenwiki (

Oppose Redirect to
Princeton University, as noted its obvious that the name includes "University" and I suspect few will search looking only for it, rather than the general area. I might support a redirect to the NJ
municipality per
WP:DABCONCEPT since it includes the uni but considering how many other uses there are it might be best to keep as it. Views [
[1]] show that the uni only gets around 6x the views of the municipality. There are a lot of other entries on the DAB that I didn't include. If we decide to make the municipality primary then I'd take into account the primacy for the uni. Crouch, Swale (

Support moving the disambiguation page from Princeton to Princeton (disambiguation), and redirecting Princeton to Princeton University as primary topic.

Support "Princeton" used by itself, without modification, most commonly refers to the university: The other schools are less likely to be called simply "Princeton" by reliable sources (unless it has already been established the writer is referring to say, Princeton Junior School), and the locations are more likely than the university to be accompanied by descriptors (e.g. state). See also
Harvard.
