Talk:Bit rot (disambiguation)

Bit rot articles
, Hello. Right now, this article Bit rot (disambiguation) is redirecting to Bit rot, a disambiguation page. In this case, this page is unnecessary anyways. Since we have the Bit rot article as a disambig, why don't we just delete this page under G6 per WP:DABNAME as this page is unnecessary as there seems to be no primary topic?

 * Hrmm. I don't think it was that way when I removed the speedy deletion tag. In principal I think that is fine, but unfortunately I think the entire set of moves about these pages was ill-considered, not discussed, and should be reverted. I'm not sure speedy deleting this page would assist with that -- I suspect it won't be helpful. Honestly i don't know how to go about fixing this. I left a note on User talk:The Anome, but I'm not sure how to move forward. I tried taking a wikibreak from these pages a few weeks ago, but that doesn't seem to have helped very much. jhawkinson (talk) 23:09, 19 March 2014 (UTC)


 * My role in this:
 * at 16:51, 19 March 2014 I edited Bit rot (disambiguation) ‎supplying definitions for the two entries.
 * at 20:23, 19 March 2014 I discovered Bit rot ‎and I edited it as I had done Bit rot (disambiguation) before.
 * at 20:24, 19 March 2014 I edited Bit rot (disambiguation) ‎to redirect to Bit rot.
 * I agree with Kkj11210 that Bit rot (disambiguation) should be deleted. I'm new to these two articles, so I don't know what moves Jhawkinson refers to, but I believe that my first two changes were correct. I suppose on discovery that there are two disambiguation pages I should have nominated Bit rot (disambiguation) for deletion instead of redirecting it to Bit rot. —Anomalocaris (talk) 23:25, 19 March 2014 (UTC)


 * , First, there has to be a consensus about what bit rot refers to. Where can we discuss that? And if we decide a topic to be a main topic, then we can have a disamb page for that. I thought that a disamb page without the (disambiguation) title would be fine. Any thoughts?  KJ   click here  01:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia needs at most one article to disambiguate bit rot. That article is Bit rot, which can remain as it is or be edited further as people see fit. If there are concerns about the future of that page, it can be discussed at Talk:Bit rot. I just discovered that Talk:Bit rot redirects to Talk:Data degradation. This is incorrect, unless Bit rot redirects to Data degradation. If Bit rot continues to be a disambiguation page, then (1) it should have its own talk page that is not a redirect to another article's talk page and (2) Bit rot (disambiguation) should be deleted. —Anomalocaris (talk) 05:22, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
