Justification for move[edit]

I believe that the tree/wood Ochroma pyramidale is the primary usage for "Balsa", even though the article is correctly titled by its scientific name. I have made a redirect from the word Balsa to that article, and renamed this disambiguation page. I have checked all incoming links to Balsa: three were to the village in Hungary (which was not mentioned on the dab page until I added it just now), and all others refer to the wood so are now going to the right page via that redirect. Please don't change any of this without discussion. Thanks. PamD (talk) 10:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Balsa (disambiguation) → Balsa – I think that the tree isn't more than other pages. Vivaelcelta {talk · contributions} 17:54, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Proposer has the burden to show that there is good reason to move, (per WP:TITLECHANGES), that the current use is not the primary topic for this title. I don't see that here. I, for one, am unfamiliar with all other uses of "Balsa". --В²C ☎ 18:38, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as no justification has been provided to support such a move. -- Calidum 15:08, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - leave tree at scientific name.Very familiar with balsa wood...the tree, not so much. (i.e. not primary topic) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:29, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
