Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/X band
Somebody moved this old page to X (US band), breaking lots of links to create an unnecessary disambiguation page. Mackerm 02:49, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
- Move (or redirect) X (US band) back to X (band) and note the Australian band, but don't delete -- BCorr|Брайен 03:12, May 5, 2004 (UTC)
- What makes the disambig page unneccessary? Rhymeless 06:27, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
- The old page mentioned the Australian band. When the X (Australian band) page was written, they should have made a link, but not moved the old X (band) page. It messed up lots of links. Mackerm 06:35, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
- I'm confused. What's wrong with having the pages which previously referred to X (this being the american band), to now refer to the X band disambig page? Am I missing something? Rhymeless 07:43, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
- If somebody decides to move a page, shouldn't they have the responsibility of changing all the links to it? Suppose somebody tomorrow finds a X band in another American state. Should I have to change the links to X (California band)? Mackerm 07:53, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
- The two mentioned are both significant in musical history. - David Gerard 08:00, May 5, 2004 (UTC)
- I say keep. This argument seems pointless. Clicking an extra time never hurt anyone. Rhymeless 08:18, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

- Not quite - the disambig was created first by someone, then I wrote X (Australian band). (A few folk on Music of Australia are busy on writing up Australian bands at present.) - David Gerard 08:02, May 5, 2004 (UTC)

- So fix the links. This method makes sense. If this isn't there, someone will create it again and again - David Gerard 08:00, May 5, 2004 (UTC)
- What are the odds that someone will type out "X (band)"? Realistically, they would type X, which would take them to X which is already a disambiguation page, and which had straightforward links to both bands already. Mackerm 08:10, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
