Proposing move over redirect to "first class object"
"First class citizen" is a significantly rarer term for this topic than both "first class object" and "first class type". Further, "first class citizen" has another conflicting meanings in the content of a human society so this unnecessarily exposes the article to potential disambiguation issues. While not a definitive metric, Google's search results are a guide to help understand the frequency with which synonyms are used:
| Search term | Results |
|---|---|
| "first class object" | 867,000 |
| "first class type" | 844,000 |
| "first class citizen" | 440,000 |
| "first class entity" | 16,500 |
So it appears "object" or "type" should clearly be the title. Jason Quinn (talk) 09:38, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- I agree that using this term introduces unnecessary ambiguity, however Object is also introduces ambiguity in a different way.
- I'd suggest using Type or Entity. 2603:3005:5008:3700:A1D9:9851:5DC2:EB03 (talk) 22:46, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
