I propose making it look more like HP (disambiguation) since there is more than one primary subject. Thoughts? I'd also like to know if Qi of Xia is a given name. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 09:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. It seems to me that there are clearly three primary meanings differing only by capitalisation which, as we know, is ignored in dab pages. I see no better alternative than grouping them at the start as I have. Abtract (talk) 09:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. But did you look at the HP dab? It doesn't make sense (to me) that we should use three different layouts when there can be at least two. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 16:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I looked tho I know it well ... (1) it is only two items and this is three (2) imho this layout is better, gives a much clearer picture. I am not trying to set a precedent but maybe I will ... good layouts always drive out poor ones. it is difficult to see how you can justify changing what another editor has done when it clearly does the job very well. :) Abtract (talk) 17:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree with the no citations. User:Bradka 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Could you explain exactly what it is that you agree with please. :) Abtract (talk) 12:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let me make it clear again ... there are three articles titled QI with various capitalisations and punctuations; mos:dab makes it quite clear that these minor diffences are of no account. All three have equal claim to being the primary article; why pick two from the three? What singles (doubles?) them out for primacy? Abtract (talk) 00:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting that no reason has been given for disagreeing ... yet reverting continues. Abtract (talk) 00:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's because the discussion is taking place over here. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 07:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shu Qi

On reading the article, it appears that Qi is actually her given name not her family name (Chinese order being the reverse of western) so this should be reflected on the dab page as and when it is unprotected. Abtract (talk) 10:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That and Qi of Xia needs to be looked upon. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and add Category:Given names to the page. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
