Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Disambiguations
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Disambiguations. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Disambiguations|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Disambiguations. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

All terms are WP:PARTIAL. In other words, none of these would be confused with "Negros Oriental". HueMan1 (talk) 09:36, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete, does not serve as a disambiguation page. Negros (disambiguation) already holds the main items of confusion. CMD (talk) 09:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete invalid dab. This dab is like having a "California (disambiguation)" page that lists "California State Capitol", "California State Controller", and "California Golden Bears". Clearly the result of not understanding the principles of disambiguation.—Alalch E. 10:01, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Any relevant entries concerning the province can appear in the main article at Negros Oriental. – sgeureka t•c 12:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. There is one other valid entry, Negros Oriental State University, but that's already listed in the main article. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

I strongly doubt "Indian political parties named Socialist Party" is a notable list topic per WP:NLIST. I propose turning this article into a disambiguation page. Sourced claims that are present here should be moved to applicable articles. Janhrach (talk) 16:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - but assign to the original Socialist Party. The first SP (the 1951 one) was a major national party, was the largest opposition party in national parliament at some point. The article should be delimited to that party. --Soman (talk) 21:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Soman: Do you mean the one that "won only 12 seats at the 1951 Indian general election". Is that sentence from the article accurate? Janhrach (talk) 12:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- See [1]. The wording "only 12 seats" is a bit odd, as 12 seats in national election is hardly a minor feat. The party was the third largest in the first election, winning 12 seats, with 11,216,719 votes (10.59%). Clearly the original SP is the primary topic here. --Soman (talk) 16:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. Indeed, now I see that coming third in the election is a major event, and so I support the notion of SP being the primary topic here. Janhrach (talk) 17:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep but change. I can see several ways what to do with this: (1) Redirecting this to List of socialist parties#India is better than turning this into a dab page (because of WP:INCDAB) or set index page (the parties are not truly named the same thing), and takes care of OR and N. (2) Rename it to something like Socialist parties in India or Socialist politics in India and refocus, similar to how the two interwikis (de, bn) have done. The point appears to be that Indian socialists have (under different names) been trying to gain hold in the political arena for decades and failed. That might be an overarching notable topic. – sgeureka t•c 08:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Socialism in India already exists. Thanks for the other suggestions, particluraly for mentioning INCDAB, which I did not know about. As for the suggestion to remodel the article like the dewiki one, I think making the result part of the aforementioned Socialism in India is preferable to keeping it a separate article, mainly in the light of that article not mentioning the events described in Socialist party (India). Janhrach (talk) 12:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- German wiki article says clearly that the party existed 1948-1952. --Soman (talk) 16:24, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- The lead of the German article is weird; the rest of the article is similar in scope to the one we are discussing. (The framing is, however, different: the enwiki article looks like a list, but the German one is more focused on chronological description of the events related to the parties.)

- To further complicate things: the 1948-1952 Socialist Party is essentially the same party as the Congress Socialist Party. I'll try to work on a draft to improve an article on 1948-1952 SP provisionally, but eventually there should be a merge between CSP and SP articles. --Soman (talk) 14:09, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

- Yellow Line (New York) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Originally a redirect to BMT Broadway Line, this page got turned into an incomplete disambiguation page (WP:INCDAB) listing two more New Yorker yellow lines that neither mention "yellow" in the article body nor are listed on the Yellow Line dab page (i.e. unlikely search target?). Since INCDAB pages aren't ideal, I see the following solutions for this particular page:
- Upmerge all entries to Yellow Line and redirect to Yellow Line {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}
- Redirect back to the original BMT Broadway Line target, maybe add hatnotes
- Delete to avoid confusion over dab-worthiness
- Keep and accept this INCDAB
Whatever the result, I'd do the same for the 6 other NY color line INCDABs (not part of this AFD). – sgeureka t•c 14:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- ETA: Page/Redirect were originally created by now-blocked editor, see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive357#Dozens_upon_dozens_of_questionable_redirects_created_by_now-blocked_user. – sgeureka t•c 13:24, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete, as none of the entries on the page are actually "yellow lines"; the only commonality between them is that their emblem is colored yellow. (I would also !vote to delete the other incomplete disambiguations, but they weren't nominated here.) – Epicgenius (talk) 13:01, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Left-wing coalition (Italy) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
A very weird incomplete disambiguation page (WP:INCDAB). (1) There is no general/international Left-wing coalition dab page where this could be merged, and I can't find other WP pages listing left-wing coalitions. (2) Maybe there is potential for a WP:BROADCONCEPT article like Left-wing politics in Croatia, but the notability of the topic is unclear: There is no interwiki link (including Italian); List of political parties in Italy mentions "left-wing" once, and List of political coalitions in Italy none. So: Should this page even exist? – sgeureka t•c 12:08, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Italy-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 12:09, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- I did not technically "create" the article, it was created [2] by @Nick.mon: when there was a coalition of left-wing parties in Sicily which eventually became Free and Equal (Italy) and thus redirected there. It wasn't accurate since there are/were other coalitions before and after. I wouldn't mind a WP:BROADCONCEPT article or maybe something like Centre-right coalition (Italy) (the latter would have the problem that multiple coalition compete, in 2018 there were three coalitions) Braganza (talk) 12:21, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- if we create an article, it should start with 1991 before this the line would become more blurry i think with PSI & PCI Braganza (talk) 11:21, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

WP:TWODABS applies. The only legit entries are the general and the vice admiral. Middle names, Fitz Lee (Medal of Honor) and Lee Fitzhugh don't count. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep (just) There are a lot of partial matches, and the see also section may be WP:USEFUL to readers, as well as the 3 entries that are fully valid as this appears to be a dab for Fitzes and Fitzhughes. Not the most important page, but potentially helpful to readers, and nothing to be gained by deletion. Boleyn (talk) 12:43, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
