[edit] Euclides da Cunha (disambiguation)

Euclides da Cunha (disambiguation) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a disambig page that includes three links: Euclides da Cunha, an author; Euclides da Cunha Paulista, a stub article about a municipality named after the author, and Euclides da Cunha, Bahia, another such municipality that has no article. (That entry links to the Bahia state, which doesn’t mention the municipality at all and therefore shouldn’t be linked as a reference for it.) Assuming that it is reasonable to think that the first two links could be confused with one another, that still leaves only two existing entries to be disambiguated, with the author obviously being the most likely target for a search on Euclides da Cunha. I feel the disambig page should be deleted and replaced with hatnotes on each article linking to the other. A redirect seems pointless in view of the likelihood that anybody would navigate directly to “Euclides da Cunha (disambiguation)” and what such a person would be looking for.

• Delete Page is as above useless. The man's article should have links to the towns, the the dab. Reywas92^Talk 18:34, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I created a stub for Euclides da Cunha, Bahia using information from the Portuguese Wikipedia. As it's a city of 54,000 we should have an article. This was a needless nomination and I would hope the editor would take a more constructive approach in future. Redlinks serve a purpose. --Dhartung | Talk 19:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Dhartung. --Tikiwont 08:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
