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.

Note that 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 links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Disambiguations.

Disambiguations[edit]

SpongeBob SquarePants (disambiguation)[edit]

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

The disambiguation page fails WP:DAB as it only lists one topic and not many topics, thus not making it a valid DAB. It's also a good idea to delete the dab pages that redirect to that page as well. kpgamingz (rant me) 19:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep SpongeBob SquarePants (the series), SpongeBob SquarePants (character), SpongeBob SquarePants (film series), SpongeBob SquarePants (franchise), and SpongeBob SquarePants (musical) have the same title although they are of the same universe. They are all different pages SpongeBob SquarePants lists the character as another article, and then refers to this disambigation page for other pages of the same name. Changing the "for other uses" on the header to refer to each of these would make it unwieldy. This page refers to a series, character, and other areas. It is more than one topic although they are related. — AMK152 ^{(t • c)} 20:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I get that, but dab articles are for unrelated topics. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Powerpuff Girls (disambiguation) for an example. kpgamingz (rant me) 20:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There can be a series page for related topics while also having a DAB page for identically named topics, those are different things. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Kpgamingz says that "dab articles are for unrelated topics", but I see no evidence of that in the WP:DAB article. Did I miss it? If not, I think Kpgamingz is misinterpreting WP:DAB: each of the things listed is a "topic" as referred to in WP:DAB. This disambiguation page seems extremely helpful. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:01, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think the nominator doesn't understand WP:DAB (or I'm being stupid), but it looks like it disambiguates between a bunch of pages. In particular:

"Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead"

"The page at Rice is about one usage, called the primary topic, and there is a hatnote guiding readers to Rice (disambiguation) to find the other uses." Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:18, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Per @User:AMK152. Svartner (talk) 09:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep plenty of different assumptive uses for this DAB page. AMK152 put it best. Conyo14 (talk) 16:21, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The term "SpongeBob SquarePants" is not ambiguous. Per WP:DABCONCEPT, this should be an article, not a disambiguation page, because "the primary meaning of" SpongeBob SquarePants "is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article". In fact, the concept of SpongeBob SquarePants already has an article, SpongeBob SquarePants (franchise), and that article describes each of the items listed on this DAB page. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:56, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of constituencies of Gujarat[edit]

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

There is no specific list for the parliamentary constituencies in Gujarat, only the list for the legislative assembly constituencies in Gujarat exists. Thus disambiguation page is not needed. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 04:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2024 May 5. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 05:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Violin Sonata in B minor[edit]

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

This disambiguation page is redundant of Sonata in B minor, which was originally at this title before a page move. The redirect was then reverted. The two sonatas listed here are already covered at Sonata in B minor (a broader disambiguation page). Additionally, one of the sonatas listed here (Sonata in B minor (Atterberg)) is only a partial-title match because it is generically for strings, not solely for violin. I propose restoring the redirect. I am also nominating the following page for redirecting as well since it is also redundant:
