[edit] Medeleni

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

This is an odd one. A disambiguation page, where none of the articles it's trying to dismabiguate exist. According to the Manual of style, red links should only be included on a disambiguation page when another article also includes that red link. This is not the case, however removing the offending links would leave an empty page. The dab page itself is also orphaned. Therefore delete.  Tivedshambo (talk) 20:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep we'd just have to create it later anyway. - Francis Tyers · 20:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Comment - A dab page shouldn't contain links to articles that might be created later. If the articles do appear, then it can be recreated. Tivedshambo (talk) 20:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Disambig pages are sometimes useful repositories of work still to be done. Though this could easily be fixed by seeing if we can quick put together a stub on one of these villages as well. matt91486 (talk) 23:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Francis Tyers above. Just because they are red links doesn't mean the subjects of the articles are not notable - per WP:OUTCOMES all villages are notable. Instead of deletion, we should create substubs on the villages. Seriously.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 12:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - disambiguation is a navigation aid. But in this case, there is nothing to navigate because all the target articles do not exist. --- Whpq (talk) 16:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, while discouraged by the Manual, once there such pages aren't really worth deleting, since the entries are about real places, and it may indeed aid navigation helping interested editors to see that the articles are missing and where exactly to create them, so I unpiped the links. As 'See also', I also added a novel called La Medeleni, a book by Romanian novelist Ionel Teodoreanu. --Tikiwont (talk) 10:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep instead of arguing, I just created the three stubs for the villages. I hope someone will follow up with the infobox & coordinates. DGG (talk) 20:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
