Tabitha (disambiguation)[edit]

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

No need for a separate disambiguation page where it is common and permissible to list names of persons sharing a given name on the page for the given name. bd2412 T 16:00, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Given name articles are separate from articles about other subjects with the same title. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 20:02, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There are no other subjects. Every single "Tabitha" listed on the page is a given name. Per MOS:DABNAME, "Articles only listing persons with a certain given name or surname, known as anthroponymy articles, are not disambiguation pages". Since there are no meanings for Tabitha other than as a given name, there is no reason to have a page like this one, that does not to conform to the standards of this encyclopedia. bd2412 T 20:48, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge any unique entries to Tabitha and delete. I couldn't find any guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy, but one of their few former featured articles, Yuan (surname), includes a list of people. There's no need for so much duplication, and the only non-name entity is handled by a hatnote. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:54, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is an ambiguous TV series that I added to the dab when I removed all of the name holders who weren't referred to by the single name. The remaining characters can be added to the given name article and the TV series added to Tabitha as a hatnote, though, so the disambiguation page might still be deleted. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:12, 5 February 2013 (UTC
Delete: no need for a dab page where there are no non-given-name articles to list, except the one TV series which is handled in a hatnote. PamD 09:13, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mediran (t • c) 10:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Why relist? There's been no objection to merge & delete, so I'm not sure how the consensus is unclear. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:17, 11 February 2013 (UTC)~~ Nevermind. I see the stealth oppose now. I've bulled+bolded it. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only non-given name (the TV series) is disambiguated in its title. Miniapolis 21:30, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
