Useless disambiguation page. Wikipedia:Disambiguation is clear simple lists of part of article names should not get an article. Coren 00:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC) Comment: There is a small discussion started on Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation about the appropriateness of the guideline that made me AfD this in the first place.

  • Delete this page is useless. Oysterguitarist~Talk 00:13, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's clearly a simple list of article names, and you're right, it shouldn't get an article -- it should get a disambiguation page, which it's got. If this really needs to be discussed, shouldn't it be an "MfD"? -- JHunterJ 00:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That's actually a very good question. It's in article space, though, so AfD seemed the way to go. Coren 00:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • ... and a note: the list existed before, on the Hilary page: [1]. I just split it off from what should be a name article. The new dab page, in particular, does not list all the things that have Hilary in the title, only those things that might have been titled Hilary, per WP:D. -- JHunterJ 00:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/merge. If nothing else, this is needed to disambiguate between the manga that is titled just Hilary and the main Hilary article that is also titled just Hilary. Though on further thought, it might make more sense to merge the disambiguation page with the main Hilary page, since they're both disambig pages. --tjstrf talk 00:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Hilary which is basically a dab page with a one-liner of non-dab background. Carlossuarez46 00:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/Merge per JHunterJ and tjstrf--JForget 00:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep differentiating between the two saints already justifies it. JJL 01:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the new page is definitely a legitimate disambiguation page. --Haemo 01:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, seems to be a useful disambiguation page. -- Ekjon Lok 01:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, Meh. We should probably fix Wikipedia:Disambiguation then, if this page is considered acceptable, since that guideline specifically disallows it. Mores change. Coren 02:10, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge it back to Hilary. And technically, the nominator is correct; this shouldn't actually be a disambiguation page, though I think the Wikipedia:Disambiguation guideline should be changed to include proper names as in this case. Masaruemoto 03:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I really don't see any problems with it. NSR77 TC 03:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Excellent disambig page. Always fix instead of delete, where possible. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Hilary]. No content on Hilary page, no need for seperate disambig.--ZayZayEM 05:53, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/merge. Maybe also merge with Hillary? // habj 08:43, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Language-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Hilary; they don't seem to be that different. Nyttend 13:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete, has no one else noticed that every single entry on this dab page is already disambiguated on Hilary? This is 100% redundant, there is absolutely nothing to merge, and creating a disambiguation page for a term that is already thoroughly disambiguated elsewhere is useless. The only reason for having a page titled Hilary (disambiguation) would be if Hilary was a standalone article, but it is not. It is already a dab page itself. Arkyan • (talk) 15:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ahem. Looks like someone fixed Hilary after this nom but before my comment, so no one else could have noticed that it was a dab page - apologies if I sounded a little harsh! Still, though, this needs to be deleted per the repair to Hilary. Arkyan • (talk) 15:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Or, preferably, the "repair" to Hilary should have waited until this discussion was complete. -- JHunterJ 15:46, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps, sometimes it can be a little confusing to make major changes while an AfD is going on, but sometimes being bold is a good move. Personally I have no issues with the changes made to Hilary. Arkyan • (talk) 15:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
