Edward Bellingham (disambiguation)[edit]

Delete unnecessary page per MOS:DAB, already a hatnote on primary to only other entry, so this serves no purpose. Boleyn3 (talk) 17:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:15, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; this is exactly the type of disambiguation that a hatnote serves. I note also that the nominator could have instead installed the hatnotes on the listed articles, and then requested speedy deletion under WP:CSD G6 using {{Db-disambig}} ("disambiguates two or fewer Wikipedia topics and whose title ends in '(disambiguation)'"). Although this way is perhaps more considerate, it is also more time-consuming. TJRC (talk) 01:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thank you. I had been informed by an experienced editor that {db-disambig} wasn't valid, so had stopped using it and went for prod (which was removed by anon). However, I see no evidence that the editor was correct, and now use {db-disambig} again. Boleyn3 (talk) 07:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
