The page titled Darshan (actor) was fine since it was primary topic per page views. DareshMohan (talk) 04:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Under most circumstances, primary topic is only applicable to plain terms with no parenthetical disambiguation. In general there is no "primary topic" for an article title that has already been disambiguated—that is, for a topic that already has a parenthetical qualifier. Once a title has been disambiguated, it can and should be disambiguated completely to distinguish it from other uses. —ShelfSkewed Talk 04:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Susan King[edit]
Hey there! I just wanted to reach out to learn more, regarding the Susan King removal. I have seen other disambiguation pages with items w/o articles. Usually in broader scope, such as those sectioned off into "film, music, education", etc. where there might be 1-2 film, or a couple of notable people that don't have a page on such a vast disambiguation. I just wanted to know what made those acceptable versus a smaller disambiguation page like hers.
I thought it would have been noteworthy, if only due to the fact that she and the other Susan King are 2 Susan Kings who are both journalists that could be easily confused for one another. So then perhaps, based on this example I saw, would the only qualification be if I were to include this 2nd Susan King on the Los Angeles Times page's employee list or within its article, and then "blue link" Los Angeles Times:
- Susan King, former Los Angeles Times entertainment reporter
Would that be an acceptable inclusion on the page? And still, by no means making it permissible to link the page as an author link to the Angela Lansbury citation, mind you. That's not what I'm attempting to do either! But just here to learn. So I'll follow your page and look forward to a response. Thanks. --Cinemaniac86Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire 14:39, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Disambiguation pages are navigation pages, so every entry should have a blue link for users to follow for relevant information, and the solution you propose would be absolutely fine per MOS:DABMENTION. Of course, I recommend that you provide reference along with the name in whichever article you choose. Cheers! —ShelfSkewed Talk 15:20, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Gotcha, so avoid any linkless entries (or red links that'll never get an entry, I read), because it's clutter. Good to know, so if I see any linked to nothing, make sure to navigate it somewhere.
- And I've used several sources from her, so I'll do my best to see if I can find some biographical profiles about her journalism history from the papers. If not enough for its own stub, at least for inclusion within the LA Times article somewhere.
- Thanks for the insight! --Cinemaniac86Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire 18:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

A definition[edit]
Is 'shelf skew' really that bad? If so, I must have some notoriety in the bookiverse. Arlo James Barnes 21:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- It was certainly in common use among the collectors and dealers I used to hang out with online years ago. Skew in general is considered a serious flaw in condition, and it can happen on the shelf or because of other improper storage. In poorly packed boxes or in high piles, the books at the bottom are likely to skew. —ShelfSkewed Talk 21:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
