Steve Yeager (disambiguation)[edit]

Delete. Baseball player does seem to clearly be the primary topic 1587 page views to 126 for filmmaker. MOS:DAB guidelines in this case are to disambiguate using a hatnote rather than a disambiguation page. Was nominated via {db-disambig} and prod, removed by editor, reason given:Page views are not necessarily a reliable measure of primary topic. Boleyn3 (talk) 15:39, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose deletion. Dab page does no harm, and serves the useful maintenance purpose of generating an entry in Category:Human name disambiguation pages. Dab pages may also need to be expanded in the future, and no useful purpose is served by deleting them. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:24, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:56, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The baseball player is clearly the primary topic, and the filmmaker's article is adequately served with a hatnote on the baseball player's article. Dab page title is not a plausible search term. I might have leaned toward keeping if there were articles on different individuals named Steven Yeager or Stephen Yeager, but none exist.

Speedy Delete, {{db-disambig}}. "disambiguates two or fewer Wikipedia topics and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)"". hatnotes do all that is needed. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:16, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment'. Per WP:2DAB, "the disambiguation page is not strictly necessary, but is harmless". So why delete something harmless? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
