Delete There are only two WP:DABMENTION-satisfying entries. A hatnote on Godwit will suffice. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)- @
Pppery, the disambiguation page has been updated and

NmWTfs85lXusaybq, have you ever seen
WP:BEFORE? :) In this case, you can e.g. see that
Special:WhatLinksHere/Limosa_(magazine) has numerous links so it qualifies for inclusion. Why should we hide this from readers? --

- @
Joy, have you ever noticed that all links of
Limosa (magazine) in the main namespace are actually from the transclusion of {{
European birding journals}}? That's not warranted per
MOS:DABMENTION.

- OK, but that gives you a hint that at least one other editor thought there was
potential. I know it's easier to just do a huge mechanic cleanup, but sometimes it makes sense to look into these because they're indicative of something else. I just skimmed your list of 200+ prod's and found several situations that could be handled differently. --

- Yes, that's what I meant. Unfortunately, it seems that nobody was willing to help check WP:ONEOTHER candidates in the last month after I tagged 200+ dab pages (of all 1,200+ candidates) with {{ One other topic}}, although I have excluded ones resulted from vandalism. Thus, I believe PROD has to be used to draw more attention from our community. NmWTfs85lXusaybq ( talk) 11:19, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

- There is now a sourced mention of the magazine at
Sovon, and a redirect there. Still no need for a dab page, a hatnote at the bird would do..

- I found another item in the title search with an existing redirect, a minor planet, just by scrolling through. There's also mentions of moths, but I'm not familiar with WP:PTM rules on scientific names so someone else should look at it. Spamming all this into a hatnote at an article that actually has a different title seems like it would be excessive. -- Joy ( talk) 10:24, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: adequate little dab page, too much for a hatnote. Pam D 13:09, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep several valid entries, plus see also section. Boleyn ( talk) 15:45, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
