[edit] Karachayevsky District

This article was created on June 9 04, and was marked as disambiguation from the start. The second, and only other edit was made on december 30th of 2005, and was only edited to sort the disambig as a geographical one. Neither of the items listed on the disambig page have articles. --Lightdarkness 07:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• But is it notable? That's the key question. Stubs should be expanded, redlinks should have their articles created: neither merit deletion. Keep. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 08:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't think it's notable. 172 google hits, with many on the first page from wikipedia/mirrors of wikipedia (Answers.com), which is why I decided to list it. --Lightdarkness 08:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • How many hits does it get in Russian though? I get 713 hits for "Кара́чевский", which is plenty notable enough for me because I'm quite sure it's also mentioned in many Russian books whose contents are not available online. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 08:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
    • notability is not applied to geographic areas, only verifiability -- Astrokey44|talk 19:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There's a museum there, a bank etc Dlyons493 Talk 09:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, useful. Kappa 11:25, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. If it's kept, shouldn't it be changed from a disambiguation page to a single article page? I think that's the point of this AfD. Crunch 13:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - There's no overwhelming reason why a disabiguation page has to have nothing but blue links RIGHT NOW. Ruby 14:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Ruby. --Terence Ong 14:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It directs people to the most relevant articles we yet have, ie the ones for the next tier subdivisions up. CalJW 14:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I created this disambig (and about 100 similar other) to group Russian districts that have the same name. These dabs are very useful when working on articles about administrative structure of higher subdivisions, as they help out to check what links to certain articles even when they do not exist.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 17:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Latinus 18:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- Astrokey44|talk 19:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
