Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... it can be made a lot better. Leave with me for a few minutes DrVogel (talk) 01:53, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I was a bit hasty. @DrVogel: Please also seek to follow MOS:DABPRIMARY guidelines: assuming Demmin the town is a primary topic, it should be listed in bold before all others (see e.g. Moon (disambiguation)). Also be wary of including partial title matches: I would think it very unlikely for Hans Joachim von Rohr-Demmin to ever be referred to as simply "Demmin" in reliable sources. --Animalparty!

I reckon we could delete the link to Hans Joachim, you're probably right. But I think the others should stay. About the town being a primary topic, I'm not so sure. There is a district with the same name, and a much older duchy. I wouldn't know how to justify making one of them the primary topic DrVogel (talk) 02:39, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you plan to move or request a move of Demmin to Demmin (town), and make Demmin tself a dab page, it's probably better to stick with existing style guidelines. --Animalparty! (talk) 03:01, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see what you mean now!! About moving Demmin to Demmin (town), I wouldn't know how to decide. How do you decide this kind of thing? I have no idea, I'm new to all this. But, if we don't move it, I will adapt Demmin (disambiguation) to adhere to the guidelines. DrVogel (talk) 03:07, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
