Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Disambiguations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Disambiguations. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Disambiguations|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Disambiguations. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

We don't create dabs for individual components (WP:PARTIAL) of taxonomic names, nor is a specific name without the generic name a likely search topic. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:50, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Franz Wagner (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Disambiguation page is not required per WP:ONEOTHER: there are only two actually ambiguous terms, and two different spellings. Prod by Frost (talk · contribs) was declined by Barr Theo (talk · contribs). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:06, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Caribou Lou (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Disambiguation page not required. No mention of "Caribou Lou" at Cocktail or List of cocktails. PROD by 162 etc. (talk · contribs) declined because this has been PRODded before. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:55, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary dab page. Nothing listed in this page with "Table football". Cyber the tiger🐯 (talk) 19:54, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After removing all the middle names and demoting the partial matches to See also, there are only two entries left, the surname being the obvious primary topic. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:44, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 06:12, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
