This redirect currently points to a small subsection of University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science, as it's the name of a program there. This, of course, doesn't make a lot of sense, but I don't know where it should redirect to. I'm sure there's a good target for this. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 12:22, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. It is not a dab page now. Ruslik_Zero 18:14, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was recently created as a redir to simple-name (without "(disambiguation)" token), which has always been the actual DAB page. All incoming links adjusted to point to actual, so this redir is not useful intrinsically or a likely search term. DMacks (talk) 07:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I created this redir per WP:INTDABLINK because I linked to the dab from Fluclorolone acetonide. My link was since changed to point to the plain-title dab directly. Did I misunderstand INTDABLINK? --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 09:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As I look more closely, I'm not sure this the redirect-target really a "disambiguation" page, since there is a bit of content (not just a list of articles), and one could write somewhat more specifically about this acetal as a class and the listed articles are specific examples of this more general idea (rather than more specific meanings of a nonspecific topic-term). But to the question at hand, WP:DABNAME says that the DAB page goes at the term itself (as you created acetonide), so there is simply no use for also having acetonide (disambiguation) (and that MOS does not recommend it). That's why this nomination--I can't think of anything else that would reasonably be entitled simply "acetonide". DMacks (talk) 10:52, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And now I've added content, bringing acetonide up to a definite WP:STUB not a WP:DAB at all (acetonides are citedly notable as a protecting group). The presence of that page was never an issue, just (still) the "... (disambiguation)" redir to it. DMacks (talk) 11:17, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the expansion, that was quick! Perhaps WP:INTDABLINK could be clarified? Currently it reads 'To link to a disambiguation page..., link to the title that includes the text "(disambiguation)", even if that is a redirect... (If the redirect does not yet exist, create it...).' That's exactly what I did (except that the page apparently wasn't strictly a dab), and it was obviously wrong. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 13:36, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete disambig page, since the target is what we call WP:DABCONCEPT, and not actually a disambig page. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 12:25, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) Okay, but what should be put on the disambig that could not be added to the article? A list of acetonides is already at Acetonide. (It might be expanded, of course, if additional acetonides crop up.) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 14:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
