This Land (disambiguation)

A dab page with only one legitimate entry. Clarityfiend (talk) 17:07, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I disagree. By the way, doesn't this belong on WP:MFD? GO-PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 00:47, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I should have specified WP:DAB#Partial title matches as justification. Also, it doesn't appear to qualify for WP:MFD. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There are no links to this dab page. At all. Meaning to get to it, someone would have to search "This Land (disambiguation)".-Wafulz (talk) 14:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Redundantly useless or uselessly redundant? ¨victor falk 12:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no user will ever lay eyes on it. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 18:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete generally disambiguation pages shouldn't include partial matches and on that basis there is only one valid entry. I do think it is conceivable that people looking for This Land Is Your Land might end up at This Land but a hatnote in that article should suffice. Guest9999 (talk) 21:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I read shouldn't include partial matches and without case law and without being a wiki-lawyer don't exactly what it means. Given that truncation of titles and phrases are common, especially to the first one or two words of a group of words I say keep. --Firefly322 (talk) 00:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It says "Do not add links that... include the page title in a longer proper name" without such links on this page there is only one entry - I don't see how that is Wikilawyering. Guest9999 (talk) 03:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this harmless dab page as long as there's a reasonable risk of confusion. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 02:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - we have a tv show that ran for 16 years, and a very well known song. I'm not even sure which one of the two you are claiming is non-notable --T-rex 03:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. We're not saying that they're not notable, just that they don't belong on this dab page because of the guideline I specified. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well my point still stands in that I'm still not sure which one you don't want to link to. Both clearly apply. --T-rex 18:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - a disambiguation page is a navigation tool to guide a reader to the article they are looking for. In this case, it seems likely that people may mistakenly think the name of the song is "This Land" -- Whpq (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
