Shouldn't this be a disambiguation page?
[edit]Since there is no such award as the Distinguished Service Medal (United States) shouldn't this page follow standard disambiguation page lay out and form? EricSerge (talk) 03:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- If it were up to me I'd either get rid of the article (probably not gonna happen), or keep it military only. Since the military decoration in question is referred to as a DSM by all the branches of the Armed Forces, it would be clear. But to include civil decorations makes the article a mess, as while (I count 9 from the Awards and decorations of the United States government) are referred to as a DSM, many others are not, such as having "Public Service" or "Civilian Service" in their titles, or are called "Awards" not medals, even though a medal may come with the award.--Nyctc7 (talk) 04:47, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
- I boldly made it a disambig, can't get rid of the article but you can send them on to the correct article they were looking for. It probably started out as a disambig and then became a coatrack of stuff. I also edited the redirect Distinguished Civilian Service Award into a disambig since it already pointed here.
