The result was keep and move to Sabre Jet (disambiguation). The concerns expressed in the nominating rationale have been resolved, but there is consensus for a primary redirect to North American F-86 Sabre. (non-admin closure) Toadspike [Talk] 19:46, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

This dab page has only two good entries. It should be replaced with a redirect to the jet fighter, with a hatnote to the film per WP:TWODABS. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:59, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

- Keep but remove the Sabreliner. The nominator is correct that the only plane referred to by the moniker 'Sabre Jet' is the F-86. The F-100 is called a 'Super Sabre Jet' and the commercial plane is a 'Sabreliner'. However when the F86 and the F100 are referred to together they have been called 'Sabre Jets'. It is not unlikely that a reader looking for 'Sabre Jet' might be looking for the F-100. It is not particularly relevant to this discussion, but there is a not-yet-notable snowmobile called a 'Sabre Jet'. I agree that the F-86 is primary, so this page might be downgraded to (content restored to) Sabre Jet (disambiguation) and referenced by a hatnote at North American F-86 Sabre, with Sabre Jet becoming a redirect to the F-86. --Bejnar (talk) 12:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, Star Mississippi 03:42, 21 March 2025 (UTC)- Keep I am generally in agreeance with Bejnar that the Sabreliner business jet could be removed from the list. I have now added the Australian CAC Sabre. Although based on the F-86, it was sufficiently different in its engine, armaments, fuselage modifications and performance that it warrant its own Wikipedia article. Readers from Australia, Malaysia or Indonesia are likely to commonly refer to this aircraft as the "Sabre jet" as they are to the F-86. Thus, I think this further supports the need for disambiguation. Dfadden (talk) 12:25, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- I further note the existence of another article for the Canadair Sabre, as distinct from the F-86 which I will also add to the disambiguation list. Dfadden (talk) Dfadden (talk) 12:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
