Disambiguation page but links only one article — ASCII-002 I ^Notify_Online 13:36, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This disambiguation page is needed for two reasons:

1.) There are different ways of transcribing the Arabic name عبد الله كمال.

2.) "Abdallah Kamal (journalist) (1965-2014), Egyptian journalist and politician" [1] has no article yet, but is mentioned in other articles. He is a notable person. We need clarification, since his lemma also could be "Abdallah Kamal (politician)", "Abdullah Kamal (journalist)" etc.

Without this disambiguation page "Abdallah Kamal" would be a redirect to Abdullah Kamel Abdullah Kamel Al Kandari (* 1973). --Recherchedienst (talk) 14:03, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move User:Ascii002, I'm not sure if you read the guidelines for disambiguation pages, had you seen MOS:DABMENTION and MOS:DABRL? The journalist's entry jst needed tidying. I created the article, it only took a few minutes. The other entry appears to be a partial match, so per Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Partial_title_matches, I moved it to the see also section. This leaves one valid entry and one see also. Per WP:2DABS etc, a hatnote works better, so the journalist's article should be treated as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and thus be at the primary page (moved to [Abdallah Kamal]. A hatnote to the other can be addd if he is easily confused with the journalist. User:Ascii002 and User:Recherchedienst, what do you think after looking at these changes?

@Boleyn: Great. Thanks for helping! --Recherchedienst (talk) 15:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great. This article linked only one page which brought confusion. But, as you have created another page too, there exists no confusion. Cheers! — Ascii002 ^{Let's Talk!} 00:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone close now as nomination has been withdrawn I've made some moves but can't finish it until this is finished. Boleyn (talk) 09:09, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
