Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Disambiguations|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Disambiguations.

Not a valid disambiguation page, just synonyms of a vague term. Walsh90210 ( talk) 18:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Delete per nom. Makes no sense as a disambiguation page. Sadustu Tau ( talk) 19:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - I don't think wikipedia currently has the articles someone would be looking for if they were searching for western education. I can see what the DAB page creator was going for... education about the west from the east, but a language school and European studies doesn't really fit the bill, and European studies... well, it's about the foundations of western culture, but you can't really say Europe is the entirety of the west but rather a subset of it. And a single school that teaches languages is undue weight. An article about Western Education itself might be useful, contrasting with Confucianism. An article about how information about the west is communicated in the East would be interesting. But I just don't think we cover these things, likely due to the inherent WP:SYSTEMIC bias that comes from being written by volunteers who are, themselves, western (myself included).

Blood purity

"Blood purity" does not occur as a term in any of the linked articles except Fictional universe of Harry Potter (the original intention of the page as first written), and Limpieza de sangre: other entries fail MOS:DABMENTION. If rewritten as an article it would require sources, which it currently doesn't have and so fails WP:V. An alternative to deletion may be to redirect to Fictional universe of Harry Potter with a hatnote to other use(s). Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 17:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Wow, this is not a topic space I want to be much involved in. As I understand disambiguation policy, there are two burdens that need to be met. Fist, there need to be at least three valid dab topics ( WP:TWODABS), and second, those target articles need to make use of the disambiguated term ( WP:DABMENTION). That complicates AFD somewhat, because an article that should deal with a disambiguated topic but doesn't is an editorial issue for the target article rather than strictly a deletion issue for the disambiguation page... at least in my mind. Anyway. I don't think there's any real debate that Limpieza de sangre and Fictional universe of Harry Potter are both relevant target articles for this topic. Looking exclusively at peer reviewed journal content here, because hoo boy I do not want to do general searches on this, I think it's overwhelmingly clear that racial hygiene should also be a valid dab target, [1] [2] [3] [4] although the article at current does not make use of this term. There's also quite a bit in the literature about parallel concepts in Japanese and Korean culture, although I don't honestly even know what the applicable extant article would be for that, if any. There is at least some scholarly use of the term in the context of the blood quantum laws [5] [6] although I'll admit that's somewhat less common that its use in the German, Japanese, or Korean context. I didn't look into the Australian stuff. I've searched just about enough of this for one day. Lubal ( talk) 15:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Violin Sonata in B minor

Violin Sonata in B minor (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This disambiguation page is redundant of Sonata in B minor, which was originally at this title before a page move. The redirect was then reverted. The two sonatas listed here are already covered at Sonata in B minor (a broader disambiguation page). Additionally, one of the sonatas listed here ( Sonata in B minor (Atterberg)) is only a partial-title match because it is generically for strings, not solely for violin. I propose restoring the redirect. I am also nominating the following page for redirecting as well since it is also redundant:

  • Keep all. None of them is a duplicate of another. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:10, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    I agree that they're not duplicates, but they are redundant. Additionally, as I noted, the Violin Sonata DAB page contains just two entries, and one is a partial-title match that's already covered at Sonata in B minor; I've also reorganized the broader DAB page into sections. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 16:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Thanks. I still think that the Piano one is needed and I therefore do not mind the violin one. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    (But the latter could be a simple redirect maybe). - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:19, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Why not just have the piano one redirect to Sonata in B minor § Piano sonatas in B minor? voorts ( talk/ contributions) 18:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Because /Sonata in B minor/ primary "super-topic" (in which, Liszt's one is obviously the most notable, ie the primary topic) are the Piano ones imw. Rephrasing: when one searches "Sonata in B minor", it's a piano sonata one is most likely searching, and, very probably, Liszt's, so that it is clearer, in my opinion, to have the piano ones on one page (with a See also for the sonatas for other instruments). I hope I am making sense. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:48, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    So basically you want to merge Sonata in B minor into Piano Sonata in B minor? If that's the case, I don't see why that's necessary, since the current Sonata in B minor page accomplishes that. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 19:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    If the Liszt piece is the primary topic, then Sonata in B minor's intro can be rewritten as follows:

    The '''[[Piano Sonata in B minor (Liszt)|]]''' was completed by Franz Liszt in 1853 and published in 1854.

    '''Sonata in B minor''' may also refer to:

    Since all of the non-piano pieces have an article title with "Sonata in B minor", they should not be in the see also section of the piano DAB page since they are valid entries on the more general DAB page. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 19:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    To clarify: I do not wish the non-piano instruments individual articles mentioned in the See also section of the Piano sonata DISAMB, my phrasing was misleading, sorry, just the Disamb page for sonatas for other instruments. Having two (or three) DISAMB pages seems at least as good as having 1 in the present case. Hence my K !vote.
    If you wish to restore the REDIR for the Violin one, why not? but again, I'd rather have a Piano DISAMB and a General DISAMB.
    Even regarding the Violin DISAMB, the violin/harpsichord sonata (in B minor) BWV 1014 is sometimes referred to as " violin sonata in B minor" (a misleading but common wording for sonatas for keyboard+ x instrument, when they aren't sonatas for x solo) and could be mentioned there (hence 3 articles). Anyway, decide for the best. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 21:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    I get what you're saying. I still think it makes more sense for readers to have one DAB with everything in proper sections, rather than multiple DAB pages. This would also things easier to maintain for editors. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 22:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect both to Sonata in B minor. There's zero reason to have two different DA pages which include identical subjects. One unified DA page dovetails better with WP:Disambiguation guidelines than multiple redundant entries. BusterD ( talk) 01:12, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply
