[edit] Rename
(Rename|Pandemonium) Anyone agree? Most of the disamb. page is spelled Pandemonium. -- Cuahl 23:36, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I'll retract that thanks to Wetman's last edit -- Cuahl 00:17, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lack of articles
Many of the defintions don't link (red-link or otherwise) to an article on the subject listed. I propose to delete them. Josh Parris#: 01:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
This page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB because it contained too many non-article entries. I checked each entry and removed the following entries because the linked-to articles don't (or just barely) mention them, making it useless to list them on this dab page:
- Dark's Pandemonium Carnival, the sinister travelling carnival in the 1983 film Something Wicked This Way Comes
- Pandemona, a GF you can summon in Final Fantasy VIII
- Pandemonium, a level in Doom
- Pandemonium Fortress, the final fortress between Heaven and Hell in the video game Diablo II
- Pandemonium, Dong Zhuo's Level 11 Weapon on Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends
- Pandemonium, an old castle of the Metal Demons in Wild Arms
- Pandemonium, a zone in Anarchy Online (the last zone of the expansion pack The Shadowlands)
- Pandemonium (Discworld), a demon city in the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett
- Pandemonium, one of the most difficult songs in the dancing video game In The Groove
Removed for being redlinks and not giving enough (reliable) context to determine notability. If I am wrong here, I'd prefer people with knowledge about these topics to at least create stubs and only then add these entries back on the dab page:
- Pandemonium (book) (2006), by Andrew Nikiforuk
- Pandemonium - polish dark/black metal band. The tens of thousands of copies "Devilri" (1992) sold made it one of the best selling demos in the world.
- Pandemonium dutch hardcorepunk band 1981-1986 http://homepages.nyu.edu/~cch223/netherlands/pandemonium_main.html
- Pandaemonium italian Power Metal band
- Pandemonium (disease)
- Frost's Pandemonium Carnival, a touring group of magicians, illusionists, and fire jugglers in the southwestern United States

[edit] Survey
- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
- Support - per reasons given Reginmund 08:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Weak oppose That means we are depending on the distinction between æ and e, and in some cases between æ and ae to dismbiguate articles. This seems foolhardy. There is the additional problem that editions of Milton are inconsistent: Project Gutenberg varies from ae to e within one edition. The secondary literature appears to use Pandemonium more frequently. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose, per PMAnderson.--Aldux 14:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 06:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- To me, it seems pretty clear that the page should be moved, per Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Page_naming_conventions, since "capital of Hell" is the well-known primary meaning. Alternative spellings should redirect to that page and that article should have a link to the (disambiguation) page at the top. --Echo R314 (talk) 09:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
