Lamb of God

Could someone tell me why Lamb of God keeps on getting removed from the disambiguation page? LOG is commonly used for referring to the band.

Not in the actual article it doesn't. According to WP:MOSDAB, an entry should included on the disambiguation page if and only if the exact wording of that entry appears in the article the entry points to. In short, in order to substantiate adding a reference to the band on this disambig page, the "Lamb of God" article should mention that the band is commonly called "LoG" (this should be referenced, too, or otherwise this statement can be removed from the article on the grounds of being unsourced, and consequently be removed again from the disambig page). Hope it helps.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:50, December 22, 2008 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me. Sir Fritz (talk) 11:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Log-keeping

   I'm not sure there's any good reason to retain the following material, which reflects severe incomprehension of what a Dab page is for:
==Recordkeeping==

• Blog or web log, an online journal
• Chip log, a device used in navigation to estimate the speed of a vessel through water
• Logfile, a file for recording events in a computer program
  • Server log, a file maintained by a computer server of activity performed by it
  • Transaction log, a database log used with transactions
• Data logger, a device used to keep a record of sequential data
• Diary or journal, a daily record of personal experiences
• Logbook
• Video logging, a process whereby metadata is attached to video material

   But on the other hand, it was doing real harm by cluttering the page: the Dab page for "Log" exists solely to rescue users who are looking for what they call "log" (or a different casing of it, or prefixed with "a" or "the", suffixed into a plural).
   On a third hand, it shouldn't be harmful here, and it might provide content or ideas to someone writing an article about the discipline-independent needs that make people (in most of the various senses' corresponding professions) all do something similar enough to justify sharing the word "log", in some sense that has to do with event recording.

Most of those are sometimes called just "Log", "Logger", or "Logging". "Logging" quasi-redirects here, so, if video logging is sometimes just called "logging", it should be here. Data logger should probably be changed to logger (disambiguation), and I'm not sure whether breaking out server log and transaction log from logfile serves much of a purpose, but they should be listed in the article "logfile". I'm not at all sure about "diary", but the rest probably should be there in some form. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:49, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Log Valley

   * [[Log Valley, Saskatchewan]], in Canada, a settlement
could fit on the Dab page if the article told us, based on a reliable source, that it is (also) called "Log". To retain it could be appropriate for e.g. The Wiki for Speculation and Hearsay, but not here.

   A G-srch shows no sign of "Log" being used to refer to any such settled place.

PRIMARYSENSE

As important as logarithms and sailing journals are, there is a primary sense for this namespace in English... This page should be emended into a redirect to it. — LlywelynII 08:19, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
