"Messehalle" is German for any (trade fair) exhibition hall. The claim that this name is specific to the referenced Hamburg Messe has not been proven. An article for Hamburg Messe exists already. Aeroid (talk) 16:16, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed the title sounds fairly generic and not too specific to Hamburg, but Special:Prefixindex/Messehallen tells us that the only thing other than these halls that is called Messehallen is the relevant metro station, Messehallen (Hamburg U-Bahn station). For the moment, I think it is enough to have an article on Hamburg Messe and one on the metro station, and to redirect this title to the station. —Kusma (t·c) 13:48, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Special:Prefixindex/Messehalle (singular, "-n" is plural) shows more. Maybe redirect "Messehallen" to "Messehalle" and disambigute the latter.--Aeroid (talk) 17:12, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  Works for me. —Kusma (t·c) 22:37, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done: Messehalle is now a disambiguation. It was a redirect to the one in Sindelfingen. Also removed tons of wrong links to it, which really should have linked to the ones in Erfurt, Dresden or Leipzig. There are no articles (and I doubt there should be) for those, so these are commented out in the disambiguation list.--Aeroid (talk) 07:11, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
