Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Disambiguations
Appearance
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.

Redirect per wp:2DABS, unless there are more. --MikutoH talk! 00:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Sexuality and gender, Disambiguations, Georgia (country), and Georgia (U.S. state). --MikutoH talk! 00:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Another option is merge with LGBT history in Georgia and move that to LGBT in Georgia. --MikutoH talk! 00:56, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep There is no primary topic, so the base name needs to host a disambiguation page per WP:NOPRIMARY. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:59, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Per WP:NOPRIMARY Demt1298 (talk) 01:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: No primary topic. PamD 07:34, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge both LGBT history in Georgia and LGBT rights in Georgia into LGBT in Georgia, making the latter the host DAB instead of a redirect to just one of them. I agree with other !votes that each should be kept as a form of disambiguation as there is no a clear primary topic between the two, however I don't see why we can't redirect this to a more general article title which broadly covers the history and rights articles together. Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:46, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Per WP:NOPRIMARYas above. The merge between two pages not under discussion in this AfD may well be a good idea, but (a) I don't see why they should then assume the status of primary topic over an eponymous country, so the merged title should remain LGBT history in Georgia (U.S. state), (b) neither of the pages for merge are the subject of this AfD so it should be done as a merge discussion, (c) that merge would, in any case need to precede a following RM discussion, and page moves are not AfD outcomes. So all of that can be pursued separately. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:01, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'm fairly sure a merge suggestion can form part of a discussion in an AfD, especially as renaming of pages is not actually a necessity to achieve that proposal. I also have no clue what you mean by point "a", perhaps there is a weak explanation on my part. Either way, I was clear that I agreed with the "keep" !votes in keeping the page as a means of disambiguating between two articles without a primary, but as the nom specifically mentioned the LGBT in Georgia (rights) article, I figured i'd offer a view on that too.
- Besides, do we really need to have two DABs for the "history" and "rights" when we can just change LGBT in Georgia into a DAB article linking to all four? Bungle (talk • contribs) 16:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per above, a merge would be a nice idea to address separately. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:47, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:NOPRIMARY, I'm sure this happens to other articles for Georgia and Georgia. Dr vulpes (Talk) 13:10, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Good way to disambiguate per WP:NOPRIMARY. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 15:09, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Preference is keep the status quo of two dabs per WP:NOPRIMARY. Merging the two into a single DAB would be acceptable as the line between the two is a bit fuzzy although I think in general we maintain both articles for many localities so having to is fine. Strongly oppose any sort of removing the dabs and replacing with a redirect to one with just a hatnote. That's been discussed many, many as a general concept between the two Georgias and the current consensus is clearly no primary so TWODABS suggests having a disambiguation page (see all the RMs in Talk:Georgia (country) for example).

All terms are WP:PARTIAL. In other words, none of these would be confused with "Binondo". HueMan1 (talk) 08:46, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. – sgeureka t•c 11:16, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Why nominated for deletion? I did this disambiguation page to list all articles with the name "Binondo" CryingSulfur (talk) 08:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Apparently dab pages don't work thar way; see also the rationale above. Howard the Duck (talk) 09:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. "Binondo" isn't ambiguous. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:10, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography, Disambiguations, and Philippines. HueMan1 (talk) 09:36, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, does not serve as a disambiguation page. Negros (disambiguation) already holds the main items of confusion. CMD (talk) 09:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete invalid dab. This dab is like having a "California (disambiguation)" page that lists "California State Capitol", "California State Controller", and "California Golden Bears". Clearly the result of not understanding the principles of disambiguation.—Alalch E. 10:01, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Any relevant entries concerning the province can appear in the main article at Negros Oriental. – sgeureka t•c 12:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. There is one other valid entry, Negros Oriental State University, but that's already listed in the main article. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. "Negros Oriental" isn't ambiguous. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
