Talk:Valencia (disambiguation)

about a band named Valencia
Valenica was definitely noted as Band of the Year by Spin Magazine. I would consider that to be significant.  Mecumbyah 13:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC) The band Valencia has been deleted recently, and keeps being deleted when there is no need to. Valencia is a real band, from Philadelphia, evidence being their myspace page. Removing their name from this article discourages the creation of their own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.106.54 (talk • contribs)

The band page was deleted as being non-notable. Any further recreation will also be deleted accordingly. It is not about whether the band is real or not. -- Asterion talk 15:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

How can you define that it is not-notable? They have been featured in Spin Magazine, have sold many records, surely that is justification enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.106.54 (talk • contribs)


 * Non-notable for bands, singers, rappers, DJs, crooners, torch singers, oboists, barber-shop quartets, and the like is defined on WP:MUSIC and, in addition to meeting those criteria, the corresponding article has to assert that they are met. We can't have an article for every bunch of mates who like to jam together. Bolivian Unicyclist 16:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation,. why?
Surely this should go straight to 'Valencia, Spain'. All others are insignificant. Just because there are some cretinous Americans who think that Valencia, New Mexico is the only Valencia in the world doesn't mean that en encyclopaedia should go along with these simpletons. None of the other entities have significant populations or history (except for Nueva Valencia del Rey, Venezuala but that should be refered to by its long name). The others on the lists (sports clubs, music, etc.) are not confused with the city. Too frequently Americans seem to dictate the rules on Wikipedia (see for example "Georgia" where Americans seem to think that a state should take priority over a country with a long history, culture and language).--Xania talk 15:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Valencia → Valencia (disambiguation) and Valencia, Spain → Valencia. Name of "Valencia" in most cases concerns Valencia, Spain. Subtropical-man (talk) 22:23, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. The Valencia CF football team is also a notable meaning of the term. But I think the team is already satisfactorily disambiguated from the city. Kauffner (talk) 06:03, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. For reasons given. Just want to add note that most other uses of Valencia are ultimately derivative of this Valencia.  The city of Valencia should serve as the hub for Valencia-related articles. Walrasiad (talk) 16:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. Following WP:DAB: Valencia (Spain) is the Main Topic for Valencia. -DePiep (talk) 21:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Support. Definitely agree the Spanish city is the primary topic – most of the articles listed on the dab page fall under its umbrella anyway. Jenks24 (talk) 04:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
