Real Sociedad de Fútbol, S.A.D.

edit

I noticed that the Real Sociedad page states that their full name is "Real Sociedad de Fútbol, S.A.D.". Does anybody know what S.A.D. stands for in that context? If so, please share the knowledge and add it to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.54.142 (talk) 20:02, 28 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

The es Wikipedia tells me it's a "sociedad anónima deportiva", or sports corporation (according to Google Translate). -- Perey (talk) 15:53, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

SADSad – Many entries on the disambiguation page are not acronyms requiring initial caps. The top entry is Sad, which redirects to Sadness, but that top entry can be simply the actual article title, Sadness, which already has a hatnote directing users to the dab page and anyone who wishes to research Sadness and types "Sad" will see "Sadness" listed as the dab page's initial entry.     Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 16:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

Looks like there are 24 acronyms on the dab, and 10 entries called "Sad." Dekimasuよ! 16:46, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
But the number of small case / acronym uses are usually irrelevant. Isn't there a guideline to have at minor case non-CAPS? In ictu oculi (talk) 16:42, 25 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Dicklyon, I find for the purpose of finding perspective, is is very useful to do a google image search for the term. Do a google image search for "sad" and tell me the results are not all sadness. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:40, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
I don't see the relevance. The ambiguity is for sad as a topic, i.e. noun uses. The adjective sad is not what someone is looking for when searching for an article on sad. Dicklyon (talk) 16:24, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Article traffic for this page is quite small compared to Sadness, so I doubt there are many people typing "Sad" into the search box and looking for one of the DAB entries. The small number who do will not be WP:ASTONISHed to end up at Sadness, which has a link to the DAB page right at the top anyway. Also check out overwhelming references to sadness in in GBooks results for "sad". This seems pretty clearly the primary meaning. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 16:48, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Separate disambiguation page for SAD

edit

I've moved the acronym entries to SAD. Unlike, say, the musical entries on this page, the initials S-A-D don't seem to have any connection to the primary topic Sadness (except possibly for Seasonal affective disorder). Also, several of the entries had significantly more pageviews than the primary topic, so it seemed logical that they should be disambiguated on a separate page. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 21:18, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
