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.

This is a WP:ONEOTHER situation: a two-item disambiguation page for a term with a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I added a hatnote to The Bishop's School, so the disambiguation page isn't accomplishing anything. - Eureka Lott 17:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

There are no Wikipedia pages by this title to disambiguate. Gjs238 (talk) 11:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - Originally a DAB someone created for their favorite person. None of the current listings therein are pertinent enough to be here. — Maile (talk) 13:36, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Delete, absolutely no reason to keep a DAB with no pages linked. CoconutOctopus talk 14:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC)- Changing vote to a weak Keep since User:PamD's edits. CoconutOctopus talk 10:54, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- but its funny : 64.35.198.163 (talk) 22:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep but trim: the entry for Ryan Sidebottom needs to be removed unless a source is supplied in his article, and the song line at the end is probably not appropriate, but with a fictional band, a nicknamed wrestler and a song this seems a valid dab page. There is no need for there to be a Wikipedia page by this title, for this to be a valid dab page. PamD 07:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK, falling down a Wiki rabbit-hole, I've sourced Sidebottom's nickname and that is a valid dab page entry. PamD 07:50, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong delete supposed to be disambiguation page? But cannot see any reason this should exist, really. WP:PARTIAL most certainly applies here. Vorann Gencov (talk) 20:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Only one entry could possibly be considered to be WP:PARTIAL, and that is now (much trimmed) a "see also". PamD 22:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Invalid DAB: (1) two items only (2) none of potential targets defines it - Altenmann >talk 04:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: not mentioned in either of the linked articles, so nothing to support existence of the dab entries. PamD 07:38, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete If too obscure to mention in the target article, it's too obscure to have a dab page for it. – sgeureka t•c 09:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
