deletion of intermediating disambiguation page is a breach of WP:DAB. Lingdian the company is much more notable than Lingdian the band, inside China no doubt the band is more notable, but outside China it is the public survey opinion company which receives Google Book coverage for its political significance as the only privately owned market research company venturing into the sensitive area of public opinion survey. WP:DAB is explicit that Wikipedia dabs on article content not titles, but there has been a steady trickle of move proposals at WP:RM advocating in effect civil disobedience to what WP:DAB states. This AfD is another example of that, in my view at least. Lingdian was and should be a dab page giving readers access to both Lingdian per WP:TWODABS. I have no personal dog in this since I created both Market research and opinion polling in China which features content on Lingdian company and Lingdian (band) if anything the opposite since personally I have listened to the band, but not to the extent of pretending it is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC which it isn't. No particular issue with the admin who closed who handled it as well as could be expected given the !votes, the problem here is !votes which deliberately go against definition of topic in WP:DAB ...when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia. (A "topic covered by Wikipedia" is either the main subject of an article, or a minor subject covered by an article in addition to the article's main subject.).
