*:So you're saying that numerical control is not the same as numerical control. But the article treats them as the same. If you're right (and you do appear to know more about the topic than I do) than the article needs to be rewritten to make the difference clear.

*::Wtshymanski, your claim is not borne out by our [[history of numerical control]] article. [[User:Srnec|Srnec]] ([[User talk:Srnec|talk]]) 20:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
*:::I think @[[User:Wtshymanski|Wtshymanski]] makes a really important point. I still favor the move request (which I wrote in the first place) but it's true that NC and CNC are not the same thing, and the article needs to reflect that. The confusion comes from the fact that pretty much all NC is now CNC, but didn't used to be.

* '''Support''' The original meaning of numerical control is an important one, and my first thought was to oppose this move, on that basis. However we also have an article at [[history of numerical control]]. Given that, I've no object to renaming this to follow the modern term of CNC instead.

*'''Support''' per Andy Dingley. The current title is broader, but this article is mainly about CNC. [[User:Srnec|Srnec]] ([[User talk:Srnec|talk]]) 20:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
