[edit] Lodestar

Lodestar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article is mainly used for advertising from all kinds of companies with Lodestar in their names. Stripped of said advertising, what is left is the dictionary definition of lodestar and two internal links (Loadstar and Lodestar (band)) that don't really require a disambiguation page. Whatever relevant information the article holds besides that, can already be found in more suitable articles. Atlan (talk) 00:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep and clean up. This appears to be something of a cross between a geography/astronomy stub and a dab page, but it isn't terribly well built. Not spammy at all. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Nomination makes no sense. Loadstar article should be expanded upon to be more than a dic-def. Obviously a disambiguation page is needed, there are more than enough blue links on that article, they can't be spam since the pages they link to are all valid articles.--Dacium 03:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
    • I take it you mean the Lodestar article should be expanded? The Loadstar article is good enough. I can't see how you can expand the article on lodestar beyond its definition. There's hardly more to the word that would make the article anymore than it is now, without all the disambiguations. It's better suited to Wiktionary. Lodestar doesn't need a Wikipedia article but I agree that a disambiguation page could be useful for the band, the aircraft, the magazine and possibly the hoist.--Atlan (talk) 10:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and move the other uses content to Lodestar (disambiguation). Otto4711 04:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I have created Lodestar (disambiguation) and moved the relevant other uses there. Please judge the article on what is left. Like I said, I don't think the article can be expanded beyond its dictionary definition.--Atlan (talk) 10:57, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

    • Mnyeh, it works. Good show. My !vote stands accordingly. =^^= --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
