Has only two entries (WP:2DAB, and one of them is not even acceptable as it is a redlink (MOS:DABRL). Bbb23 (talk) 18:21, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The redlink certainly meets MOS:DABRL guidelines. However, per WP:TWODABS, these type of dabs are better dealt with by a hatnote from the primary. This would be difficult in this situation though - as the redlink of the person is clearly notable and has more than one incoming link, the info would be lost if the disambiguation page was deleted - and I don't see how that could help users.

Don't quite follow the last part. Are you saying that Zhang Kai (Han Dynasty) appears in more articles than Battle of Yan Province (which you added, thanks)?--Bbb23 (talk) 18:59, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The older Zhang Kai is mentioned in Cao Song, but I'm not convinced that he merits an article to himself. If necessary, a hatnote could link to the battle. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, dab as needed from a hatnote on the primary topic. -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:07, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This disambiguation page serves no purpose per WP:2DAB. Even if Zhang Kai (Han Dynasty) is notable and the page did exist, it is still not required as a titled DAB page. Hatnotes will suffice, without prejudice to this DAB page being recreated if/when the need arrises. Pol430 talk to me 20:39, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
