The article disambiguates no extant Wikipedia pages.♦ Tentinator ♦ 09:49, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wow, Tentinator, you've tried to speedy delete this twice and taken it to AfD - all within 40 mins of the page being created! God knows how many valid pages we could have lost with that kind of approach. This is a page with 4 valid entries in main section and three valid see alsos (entries don't need to have extant articles to be valid dab entries - see MOS:DABRL and MOS:DABMENTION.) What could possibly be gained by deleting this page? How would it help readers? Boleyn (talk) 09:57, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Rushing to speedy delete things - even if it was invalid - is clearly not the best approach. If a merge had been proposed to Larry Green (disambiguation), that would have made more sense and been clearly more helpful to readers than deletion - although I would still be of the opinion that a merge was not necessary, as this page has enough valid entries to stand on its own.

You also did not inform the creator of this AfD. Boleyn (talk) 09:59, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: this dab page disentangles two redlinked people of the same name who are mentioned in WP articles, and two others mentioned in articles, and thus helps readers and future editors. The encyclopedia would not benefit from its deletion. PamD 11:27, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close as keep. Valid and necessary disambiguation pages cannot be deleted. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:01, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. All seems in order per MOS:DABMENTION. older ≠ wiser 12:44, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Larry Green (disambiguation). The radio station owner and the Beacon Hill character are not getting their own articles, leaving two redlinks, which can join the Green redlinks. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:30, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Pam and JHunter. Given this nomination by nom, as well as nom's recent nominations at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JECatt and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jürgen Cain Külbel and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The History of Leather in Relation to the Jewish Tradition, I would suggest that nom consider watching some discussions and participating in them and reconsidering how he nominates articles before engaging in too many nominations at this point. Nominations which lack a proper basis waste the time of the community.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
