Is this really necessary? I thought the point of disambiguation pages was similarly named things that may confuse a reader, not things that are one type of thing. Are we going to extend this logic to other things, like cities that end in "City"? Mimi 02:44, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

You are probably right. It probably isn't strictly necessary. - Starfield 17:23, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
It seems like it would be better as a "Power plants" category. A disambiguation page seems inappropriate when a bunch of articles on it don't even have the term in the name. --abates 18:32, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
Well, I created it because there WERE three with "Nuclear Power Plant" in the name (and particularly the Harrison/Hudden ones, which have similar names right down the line). Starfield added the rest... - SanityOrMadness 18:48, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
"Nuclear Power Plant" is a generic kind of thing, not a proper name. If someone found their way to this page, they could reasonably have concluded that Chernobyl, Harrison, and Hudden were the only Transformers-related nuclear power plants, especially with the intro text. "There have been multiple Nuclear Power Plants in Transformers:" So I added the others. I agree that it would be more fitting a category, but I can't say if there are enough nuclear power plants for a category. - Starfield 18:59, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
We easily have enough for a "Power plants" category --Emvee 03:53, 14 March 2013 (EDT)
See now you just broke the page again. The intro text is beaucoup misleading. There are, in fact, more nuclear power plants in Transformers than the ones listed there. - Starfield 19:06, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
Tweak the wording then. Say 'There have been multiple buildings called "Nuclear Power Plant" in Transformers" or whatever version works for you. - SanityOrMadness 20:16, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
