This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page or, if the page was deleted, in the Senate Hall rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was Covert to disambiguation page. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:41, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Meat (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)

The only reason I can conceive of this even being created is because it anchors Category:Meat. Unlike several of our dubiously-useful dictionary-type subjects, there's just not enough non-real-world substance unique to this topic to justify collecting it in its own article. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 22:39, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

Keep

  1. For the same logic by which we're voting to keep Hostage, given the wide variance of topics on this site with "Meat" in the name, at the very least we might as well keep this as a redirect disambig page. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:45, August 15, 2015 (UTC)
  2. Per Tope. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 23:47, August 15, 2015 (UTC)
  3. Tope's argument is sound. Nivlacanator(talk) 23:50, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

    I'm changing my vote, I can definitely see the point of this, at least as a disambig. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:11, August 16, 2015 (UTC)

  5. Although I fear that adding this option will create force a "no consensus" end... but, since it'll be kept anyway, someone could just gut the article accordingly anyway. JorrelWiki-shrinkableFraajic 18:02, August 18, 2015 (UTC)
  6. Here we go again, but that's basically what I was saying above anyway. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:09, August 18, 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

Converting it to a disambig is a logical third option. Since that would entail effectively gutting the existing article, I've updated the TC accordingly. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 00:16, August 16, 2015 (UTC)

  • To address Jorrel Fraajic's point above, how shall the votes on this be counted? Several people voted Keep before the Convert to disambiguation page option was added. (Why it would even be valid to alter the ballot in such a major way after voting has already begun, I can't imagine.) However, the comments on three of those Keep votes make it clear that their actual preference is in fact converting the page to a disambiguation one. Asithol (talk) 20:13, August 21, 2015 (UTC)
    • When dealing with this sort of issue before, I was told by an admin that "Wookieepedia is not that much of a bureaucracy." If that's so, then I think the choice is obvious. Consider the obviously stated intention and factor it accordingly. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:39, August 23, 2015 (UTC)
