M.I.Q.[edit]

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

Unreferenced sort of article (with no indication of notability) and sort of dab page (but with no links). Best to delete this and then (if needed) create a proper dab page at MIQ (disambiguation). DexDor (talk) 17:16, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary or an acronym directory. —Granger (talk · contribs) 18:11, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I agree with the nominator that this could serve as a disambiguation page. It was probably intended that way, so why not just change it to MIQ (disambiguation) and add the relevant links? --Sammy1339 (talk) 21:13, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, since only one of the proposed meanings of "MIQ" actually has an article at present, perhaps it would be better to redirect "MIQ" to Millard Airport (Nebraska). --Sammy1339 (talk) 21:22, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It should probably be noted that MIQ already exists, and is currently an article about a Japanese singer. —Granger (talk · contribs) 21:31, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete, since the arguments above agree that the current content serves no encyclopedic function. The only rescue I see would be to disambiguate MIQ from Millard Airport (Nebraska), but that is a case of WP:TWODABS, meaning a DAB page is unnecessary. The other things listed either have no Wikipedia article or, in the case of Institute of Quarrying, are not called M.I.Q. Cnilep (talk) 23:32, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
