[edit] United States of Africa

I don't think that page is a type of disambiguation. Mainly because United States of Africa, is in no way similar or has the same name as the links lsited in the article.

• SPEEDIED as Patent nonsense. There was nothing in the history to suggest anything coherent. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 06:54, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Request expansion (or if it's deleted, request as a new article) to discuss the serious and significant use of the term, notably by Qadaffi (and by Star Trek as an aside?) as a proposed political union of African countries. Samaritan 01:41, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless somebody gives it some meaningful content. There's actually more on the African Union page than here. — RJH 02:29, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to African Union - Stancel 23:39 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• expand or delete but don't redirect. Kappa 04:39, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, duplicate content. Megan1967 04:40, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to African Union Feco 04:44, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Now that it's done I won't disagree with Tony Sidaway's speedying. (The page was an attempt to disambiguate, to the opposite effect, leading to the likes of United States of America and European Union, and only one link actually of Africa, African Union or maybe the OAU, with no context or explanation and it didn't look like a work in progress.
