Talk:Kolos

Speedy delete vs PROD?

It's not disambiguating a single link, but the three links are all non-existent and without deletion logs, nothing links here, and the page was created semi-recently, too, so nothing is all too likely to have linked here in the past. I'm assuming that's enough to stretch the technical requirements to merit speedy delete rather than PROD, but if not, can someone let me know for future reference? -Bbik 04:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Contested. Just because the disambiguation page only contains red links is not a good enough reason to speedy it. MOSDAB explicitly states that [l]inks to non-existent articles... may be included only when an editor is confident that an encyclopedia article could be written on the subject, and I, as a creator of this page, and a person working on Russian localities, am certainly sure that articles about the two villages can be created. Furthermore, the reasoning that there are no links leading to this page does not mean that the page cannot be accessed via other means (e.g., via a search engine or through the Wikipedia search box). The page is also part of the disambiguation scheme for Russian inhabited localities, assisting editors working on the topic with choosing appropriately disambiguated names for the Kolos articles when it comes to creating them.

Not speedied. Please create at least one of the articles as soon as possible, though. It's hard to argue the merit of a disambiguation page that doesn't disambiguate anything. Kafziel ^Talk 13:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Technically, it may not disambiguating anything, but it is still useful as it lets readers looking for "Kolos" know that there is more than one meaning of the word. Anyway, for now, I created a minimal stub about one of the villages. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
