This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Disambiguations. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

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 common misnomer for either of the pages it links to. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink and Disambiguations. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I get over a million ghits for "dessert pizza", [1] (your results may vary) so it's a common name for something. There's room for expansion but this is at least a start, and will get readers to what little information we do have. Help expanding to an article, or adding articles perhaps on choc chip pizza, apple dessert pizza or raspberry dessert pizza welcome. Alternatively I can reformat it as a stub, but a DAB seemed more appropriate at this stage as we do have information which might otherwise be missed. Andrewa (talk) 08:02, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Andrewa. Hyperbolick (talk) 08:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Pizza after creating a section there for sweet pizzas. There is no mention on that page of "chocolate" or "fruit", as yet, not even a "See also". There should be a section on sweet/dessert pizzas (however sacrilegious they may be considered) in that main Pizza article. PamD 12:37, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Pizza per PamD. "Dessert pizza" is a wildly diverse concept where you can get creative with your favorite dessert and favorite pizza style, not something you can really have a cohesive article on – the links above are just food bloggers' recipes, not reliable sources that discuss the topic as a whole and could be used here. I like how there's a whole section at Fruit_pizza#Controversy saying that the only resemblance it has to pizza is the round shape (recipes there being more of a topped Cookie cake). Alternatively, Chocolate pizza could be moved and formatted to cover multiple dessert-type toppings, but I don't think there should be a third article in this space just because you can make an apple pie or raspberry pie on a pizza crust instead of a pie crust (the recipes above would fit into these extant pages anyway!). Reywas92^Talk 15:54, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect per above. I'm hesitant to say the article could be kept as it is simply a navigational page for two types of dessert pizza. Instead, the section in Pizza I think satisfies this quite well. Conyo14 (talk) 22:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to pizza. I would make a joke about how every pizza can be a dessert pizza, but I'm above that. With that said, there is an obvious future target in the main article about such a thing, and this title should lead there. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 05:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Pizza, Dessert Pizzas are a notable phenomenon, however they are a topic that is so vague as to mean almost anything, thus a redirect to a section on the pizza article would be optimal. Samoht27 (talk) 18:01, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the disambiguation does not explain how the term at all relates to the two entries. I could see canada, but a church cantoris? it just doesn't seem right. Gaismagorm (talk) 19:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge (or just redirect) to the disambiguation page Can instead. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• While WP:SMALLDETAILS may apply, just merge it into Can, and figure out any WP:DABMENTION issues there? --Joy (talk) 07:17, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Can. Add Cantoris there only after adding a sourced mention of this in the target article. PamD 11:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fell down the rabbit hole: abbreviation is now mentioned and sourced in Cantoris. Have also rejigged the Can dab page to separate out the two abbreviations. PamD 12:28, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilage

Only one legitimate entry for spoilage. I've transferred the most numerous entries to Spoiled. Articles could easily be written (and should) about spoilage in business and of food in its place. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:01, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, I have added a source at Tampering with evidence for Spoilage of evidence being used as an alternative name for this concept (which immediately came to mind when I saw the term, and was a surprising omission), and have added that to the disambiguation page.

Disambiguation page with a clear primary topic and one other recently created and comparatively niche topic. I propose to delete this page, redirect the title to European Federation, which covers this concept, and add a hatnote there. BD2412 T 23:52, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The political entity on this dab is not much more than political aedvertising. No elections, no seats. For the rest: as by the nominator. The Banner talk 00:37, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Europe-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 03:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Procedural note User:BD2412, since earlier history was merged to what is presently titled European Federation, much of the history is ineligible for deletion per WP:MAD. The page may still be redirected, and WP:AFD remains a correct venue for such a discussion per WP:ATD-R. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:10EB:6979:4B48:D793 (talk) 12:40, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The history itself can always be moved under a different title. BD2412 T 16:11, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:BD2412 sure, but that seems to be needless extra work since the result is that instead of simply targeting A from B you first move B to some other title C before targeting A with both, what's the point? 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:E493:D84:28E3:D006 (talk) 17:09, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • I see what you're saying. I have no problem with this being maintained as a redirect to European Federation with the current history intact; it should not exist as a disambiguation page. BD2412 T 17:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Yes I agree, and that's fine WP:AFD is explicitly a correct venue to establish consensus for a WP:BLAR, just wanted to make sure we stayed within policy. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:E493:D84:28E3:D006 (talk) 17:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just to make the above clear following the relist since I never explicitly bolded anything, I support redirecting to European Federation as the primary topic at present with any necessary disambiguation being accomplished with hatnoting. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:49B:2883:34FC:225B (talk) 15:12, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose deletion, unless "European Federation" (rather an awkward name, especially the capitalised "F") is moved to "United State of Europe". --Checco (talk) 14:28, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is not the standard required by WP:PRIMARY TOPIC. BD2412 T 20:58, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to European Federation as per nom. Samoht27 (talk) 20:04, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
