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

Federation droid

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

MOS:DABMENTION: None of these is called "federation droid". The closest you get is "Trade Federation droid [army]" for the Star Wars battle droid, which is not ambiguous. Paradoctor (talk) 22:07, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Science fiction and fantasy. Paradoctor (talk) 22:07, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Neither entry is called a "federation droid". QuicoleJR (talk) 22:11, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence for the term. --Altenmann >talk 23:40, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - mishmash of multiple WP:CRUFT entries Waterfelt (talk) 23:45, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tendency (party politics)

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

Fails WP:DICDEF and, as a disambiguation page, WP:PARTIAL. Geschichte (talk) 04:25, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Politics-related deletion discussions. CptViraj (talk) 06:26, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Tendencies have an important role for Trotskyites in particular that goes beyond dictionary definitions. If there are ways to improve the article so that it stops meeting WP:DICDEF then let me know. JASpencer (talk) 06:58, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the entry now consists of exactly one sentence and no sources. Multiple paragraphs with multiple sources, that's no longer a dictionary definition. Geschichte (talk) 19:31, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not a disambiguation page per WP:PTM. Currently not suitable as an article if it's only WP:OR. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:37, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand in the spirit of WP:DABCONGOV. There are two interwiki links, and fr:Droit de tendance looks promosing. – sgeureka ^t•c 11:25, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frog Detective (disambiguation)

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

No topics with the exact title. GilaMonster536 (talk) 21:16, 24 December 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 December 24. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 21:27, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Seems there is more than one way to do a dab. Some like this one. Here's an example: Abu Hanifa (disambiguation). There are enough like this one, that I don't think it's likely to be deleted on style. — Maile (talk) 04:11, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Maile66: "Abu Hanifa" is a given name in that example, and given names are generally tolerated as partial title matches. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:53, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, since Frog Detective is currently a redirect. --Richard Yin (talk) 09:17, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Frog Detective is a primary topic redirect to The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game. The disambiguation page is not a valid one, and is not required, because both other entries are WP:Partial title matches and are mentioned in the lead of the primary topic article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:44, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Shhhnotsoloud. Unnecessary dab, violates several guidelines. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:44, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - exactly same subject in different media. --Altenmann >talk 00:14, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bananana

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

Neither List of programmes broadcast by ntv7 nor List of programmes broadcast by 8TV (Malaysian TV network) mentions anything named Bananana. Also, Banananas Music is a partial title match. So, a disambiguation page like this is not needed. GTrang (talk) 04:44, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This appears more as if it were created from search engine results rather than from content found on Wikipedia, therefore making it functionally useless. Waddles 🗩 🖉 19:38, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to Banana (disambiguation) Plausible misspelling; the 8TV block is actually mentioned on List of programmes broadcast by TV3 (Malaysia) so that was in error, and it seems like it moved to NTV7 during a time 8TV carried Nickelodeon programming instead, so it's a duplicate mention. Whatever the case, mention on the dab page as a secondary spelling is proper. Nate • (chatter) 23:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are two legitimate entries on the page now. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
