Necromancy (disambiguation)[edit]

This dab page is unnecessary: "necromancy (fiction)" and "necromancy in popular culture" are properly daughter articles of "necromancy", not completely separate topics which need to be disambiguated. They should simply be linked to from the necromancy page (and probably merged together into a single "in popular culture" page). Silence 01:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; the nominator is absolutely correct to note that disambiguation pages are only used when multiple articles exist which share a base name. If there were a heavy metal group called "Necromancy", for example, it'd belong on this dab page. I don't see any such articles here, though - Necromancy (fiction) really should be titled Necromancy in fiction, as it isn't a fiction called Necromancy.

Delete. Articles should be linked in the main necromancy article and properly renamed as suggested. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
