Queen B (disambiguation)

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was keep and delete, respectively. --BDD (talk) 16:03, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Queen B (disambiguation)Queen B (disambiguation) → Beyoncé Knowles (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] result of vandalism, now fixed
• Queen b (Disimbiguation) → Beyoncé Knowles Queen B (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Since Queen B already exists as a redirect (and not a disambiguation page), there is no need for disambiguation titled pages to exist and redirect to a non-disambiguated page. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:08, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget both Queen B (disambiguation) to Queen B. Queen B was a perfectly respectable disamb page until it was redirected by an IP for no good reason. As a consequence a bot re-targeted these pages. I have restored Queen B as a disamb and these pages simply need to be re-targeted back. The Whispering Wind (talk) 18:36, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Makes sense. However, the second one should probably be renamed to Queen b (disambiguation) and the current one speedily deleted as a typo. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 19:28, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: It would be best to have only one disambiguation page for this term: Queen B (disambiguation). Separate disambiguation pages should never differ only in capitalization (see WP:Disambiguation pages). — |J~Pæst|  02:16, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget the first one back to the newly restored dab page. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 22:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete the second one, which was the result of a move back in 2010. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 22:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Queen b (Disimbiguation). The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:30, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Admin note - I have fixed the targets of these redirects; that having been done, there appears to be no cause for deleting the first. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:25, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Queen B (disambiguation); Delete Queen b (disimbiguation) as it is an implausible typo. Beerest355 Talk 18:07, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the first; delete the second, as it is an obvious typo (in both capitalization and spelling). — |J~Pæst|  02:16, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep first as valid {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. Delete second per all. — PublicAmpers&^{(main account • talk • block)} 19:14, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  FYI – The first one is presently correctly categorized since there are many dab pages that are like "Queen B" that have [[page name (disambiguation)]] redirects to target them. {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} is used on pages like Jupiter (planet), for which the disambiguating word "planet" in parentheses is not necessary.
