A DAB page with three entries, none of them mentioned in the targets. All entries fail MOS:DABMENTION. Narky Blert (talk) 10:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are redirects to this DAB page, and it seems simpler to list them here rather than to take them to WP:RFD if the target page is deleted as a result of this discussion:

Delete The deletion of many non-notable Wikipedia articles and lists has created a large of stray redirects and dab pages that need to be cleaned up. Hog Farm (talk) 01:26, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. This meets the criteria for WP:G14 as a disamb page that "disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages". BenKuykendall (talk) 05:13, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by nom. WP:CSD can only be used if all intermediate revisions qualify for CSD. This article dates back to 2003, and there are more than 30 such revisions which would have to be checked. Narky Blert (talk) 20:14, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for Narky Blert: if any article gets deleted, its redirects are also deleted per WP:G8. For that reason, it's not necessary to also list the redirects. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:45, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply @Tavix: Even if a bot does the G8'ing, I had the page open and it was easy to check. Not all closers are scrupulous in cleaning up after deletions. I see orphaned redlinks left over from speedies/prods/AfDs all the time, often on DAB pages. Narky Blert (talk) 20:22, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete an article masquerading as disambiguation, but we do not need to record every name Tolkien used. None of these figures appear in any stories of Tolkien in any meaningful way.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:39, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
