Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Disambiguations

Shortcuts

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:

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.
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.

Disambiguations

Palestinian territories (disambiguation)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

As a disambiguation page, it is not appropriate because it does not clearly indicate which articles it is meant to disambiguate. Does it refer to West Bank areas in the Oslo II Accord, Palestine (region), West Bank, Palestine, or United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine? None of these articles are titled "Palestinian territories."

As a broad-concept article, it contains many dubious statements for which I have not been able to find reliable sources. Hassan697 (talk) 17:33, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

France national football team results (1920–1959)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unlikely search term, no idea why we need to inform people that these years are split over two articles. We can then also create disambigs for 1904-1959, or 1920-1999, or any other possible such combination from Category:France national football team results. As far as I can tell, it's not as if this existed but has been split, unlike France national football team results (1921–1959) which has some history. Fram (talk) 08:49, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Football, Lists, and France. Fram (talk) 08:49, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note from page creator: I have no objection to moving the content of France national football team results (1920–1959) to France national football team results (1921–1959), followed by deletion of the 1920-1959 page. As Fram said, it has some history: a split. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:57, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest of All Time

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are maybe two legit entries, GOAT (sports culture) and The Greatest of All Time. Nearly all of the entries are properly (or, in the case of Ms. G.O.A.T., was improperly) listed in Goat (disambiguation). Clarityfiend (talk) 07:28, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Episode 10

AfDs for this article:

(Note that 28 was already deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Episode 28, and 16 was previously soft deleted and recreated per WP:Articles for deletion/Episode 16)

These disambiguation pages are inherently unworkable. We cannot possibly maintain a listing of every television show covered on Wikipedia with a 10th, 11th, 12th ... or 29th episode as there are, by my unscientific count between 3,080 (for 10) and 1,277 (for 29) of them, which is far too large for a practical disambiguation page. It would probably still be too large even if you were to attempt to limit it to those series whose episodes don't have names. That leaves what is and isn't included here inherently arbitrary, and for each of these numbers there is at most one article titled "Episode XX (SERIESNAME)", which can't support a disambiguation page by itself; for episodes 1 through 9 there are at least two topics that aren't arbitrarily-chosen TV episodes to support a dab, albeit only barely in the case of 9.

Oppose, there is quite a few pages for episodes like these: Episode 14 (Twin Peaks), Episode 16 (Twin Peaks), Episode 29 (Twin Peaks), Episode 210, Episode 400, Episode 523, Episode 847, Episode 1094, Episode 1068, Episode 1101, Episode 2351, Episode 4429, Episode 4466, Episode 5276, Episode 5408, Episode 5569, Episode 5675, Episode 5820, Episode 5949, Episode 6188, Episode 6465, Episode 6550, Episode 6646, Episode 6867, Episode 6994, Episode 7037/7038, Episode 7202, Episode 7921, Episode 8000, Episode 8052, Episode 8055, Episode 8851, Episode 8904, Episode 11,145. Sahaib (talk) 07:21, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all, per Pppery, and, ironically, Sahaib. Just because something was created doesn't mean it should remain. Clearly, the articles/dabs should have been named "show title (episode N), per basic naming conventions. As is, they are completely unworkable. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 07:36, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all. The are navigation pages disambiguating between articles and redirects. Delete the redirects first (or in conjunction with this), but if the ambiguous redirects exist, this navigation page needs to disambiguate them. -- JHunterJ (talk) 10:28, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yutaka Kobayashi

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

all of these links are mostly dead links, except for the link to Yutaka_Kobayashi_(actor). for a disambiguation page, this is bad User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 05:02, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: the politician is mentioned in the constituency article, the actor has an article, the fictional character is discussed in the plotline, and there is some value in the kind of article which disentangles people likely to be confused - though the announcer and businessman should really be removed if no-one can find a sourced mention to include them in their target articles.

Keep: Pretty sure that the politician passes WP:NPOL for being elected to the Japanese Diet. For now I added a redirect to the constituency article while I look for enough sources to fill out an article about him, there is a jp article about him but those sources are iffy. Now that there are 3 articles with the same name I think the disambig should stay. Moritoriko (talk) 00:39, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Someone-123-321 is this WP:HEY enough for you? Moritoriko (talk) 02:39, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has enough disambiguation targets. Fulmard (talk) 18:29, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rhede (disambiguation)

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a straightforward case of WP:TWODABS. There are only 2 pages with the title "Rhede" and the primary topic has a hatnote to the other one. There is no reason to except this page from the guideline that this page is not needed. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:29, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Disambiguations-related deletion discussions. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:29, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now per twodabs. If anyone can find more of it then at that time I will reconsider my opinion. Fade258 (talk) 11:22, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I've restored a marginal football club (not sure of its notability but it was Oberliga Niederrhein champion in 1983/84 and the German Wikipedia has a fairly detailed article). Clarityfiend (talk) 08:56, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: as per nom, previous discussion ignored policy, and adding an extra redlink to force a reason to keep a page seems unhelpful. Ivey (talk - contribs) 17:43, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Meyzenq

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This disambiguation page is unnecessary. At present, there is only one Wikipedia article referring to an individual with the surname Meyzenq, namely Raymond Meyzenq. The creating editor appears to consider an individual listed on the Salomon Group article to be a notable figure and therefore has created a disambiguation page. However, there is no existing article on this individual to substantiate this claim of notability. Therefore, this disambiguation page should be deleted or be redirected, with CAT:RWP, to the existing article on Raymond Meyzenq, since he is the only person with that surname currently covered on this platform.

Keep. It is a surname page, not a dab page. It's reasonable to include the CEO, for whom a redirect would also be reasonable. PamD 08:03, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@PamD: It was a disambiguation page until you altered it ([1]). Your position would have been much clearer if that was included with your post. Best regards. QEnigma (talk) 08:15, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@QEnigma It was always a surname page. It was incorrectly labelled as a disambiguation page. PamD 11:01, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@QEnigma But, OK, it might have been helpful if I had pointed that out ! Sorry about that. PamD 11:04, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: I understand your position. However, it would have been preferable to make the alterations through consensus. That was the primary reason this article was listed on AfD forums. Nevertheless, I maintain the view that this article, whether a disambiguation page or a surname-related entry, requires the inclusion of more notable individuals with existing Wikipedia articles in order to be retained. As you are aware, there are numerous senior executives across various notable companies who do not have individual Wikipedia articles on them and are therefore not included in surname-related pages. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Best regards. QEnigma (talk) 11:15, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@QEnigma I don't think any specific consensus is needed to remove an incorrect {{tl|dab}} template and add the correct {{tl|surname}} template. The AfD template says "Feel free to improve the article".

Plenty of CEOs don't have links, plenty do. I've made a redirect from him to the company, and tweaked the dab page accordingly. PamD 16:23, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a useful surname SIA which links to substantive information about two name-holders. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:02, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. Right now, it looks like a "No consensus" closure or, possibly, a "Keep" closure. Any more opinions now that the template has been corrected?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:34, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Two entries is enough (barely) for a surname list. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:38, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
