[edit] Michelle (disambiguation)

Delete This is silly. There is no ambiguity here - the page Michelle currently describes the Beatles song and the given name. That's fine. But there's no need to have an ambiguation page for a few random people that happen to have "Michelle" as a first name. -- Batkins 03:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as useful disambiguation page similar to many others on Wikipedia. Capitalistroadster 05:34, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • There's only one thing here that is known as "Michelle". We don't have disambiguation articles where there is no actual ambiguity in the first place. Uncle G 10:17, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
    • And thanks to Plutor, there are now two things. ☺ Excellent. Uncle G 15:40, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. We do have other such lists. Stephanie for one, and I’m sure there are others. •DanMS 05:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Stephanie did not follow our guidelines on disambiguation articles, and provides false justification for this article, which also did not follow our guidelines. Disambiguation articles are for things which would share (or have a redirect at) the same title. People with the given name Stephanie are not generally known solely as "Stephanie" (in contrast to, say, Madonna), and so would not have redirects there. Uncle G 10:17, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Standard. Herostratus 07:40, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Uncle G Keep, since there's now something to disambiguate. --Last Malthusian 09:04, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Added Hurricane Michelle. There's probably more that can be put here. -- Plutor 15:05, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep with Plutor's addition. Jacqui^★ 16:18, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep In light of Plutor's addition, I'll retract my original submission. -- Batkins 18:03, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Note: This was more of a content issue than a deletion issue to start with. There are a lot of bad disambigs about and a lot of people not following the dab guidelines, but the clutter tacked onto a valid disambiguation won't really make it a candidate for deletion.

  • It wasn't really. Until Plutor came along there was no content that I knew of that could make this page valid, and its existence wasn't necessary. -- Batkins 01:30, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
