1 vs. 100 (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not needed. The main article at 1 vs. 100 already has lists of all the national variations and video-game adaptations. Since all the entries are related to each other, this is a redundant dab. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 18:38, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree-- this may have been needed at one time, but not now. I did put the link to the Philippine version into the table at 1 vs. 100.  Mandsford 21:19, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep 1 vs. 100 is about the TV game show (according to the lead), and the videogames are not the TV game show per definition. As a reader, if I was looking for the video game(s), I'd not want to scroll through the game show article and hunt down the links to the video games. And that's what dab pages are exactly for, so I do not have to hunt for links. (BTW, the dab page started out as just listing the (general) game show article and the video games, which illustrates my point.) – sgeureka t•c 08:58, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Seems like that would be a really easy fix, mention the video games in the lead sentence. I don't see any ambiguity between several parts of the same franchise.  It would be another matter entirely if "1 vs. 100" referred to something that had nothing to do with the game-- a song or album (like 2Pac's Me Against the World), or a book about a really unpopular U.S. Senator.

 * Keep - Considering we have multiple articles called "1 vs. 100" which requires us to append disambiguators to the article title, this is a perfectly valid nvagiational tool for wikipedia readers. -- Whpq (talk) 17:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - what is under discussion here? If the articles topics are so similar, what should be discussed is a merge. Disambiguation pages is a technicality, a way to provide easy navigation to articles and its right to exist is not dependent of the content of the articles it links to, just that they exist. -- Mr Stalker  ( talk ) 20:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Doesn't meet Disambiguation requirements for a stand alone dab page and should be handled by a Navbox (navigational) template, such as a game show navigational box. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:45, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as a useful navigational aid. I agree that navboxes would be preferable, but there's no urgent need to delete this DAB page before such navboxes are ready. Whpq's point is valid, as well. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:56, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - The creation of navigation boxes would not necessitate the deletion of a DAB page. Contrary to Uzma Gamal's assertion that this is contrary to WP:DAB, it is in fact perfectly in line with those guidelines, and having multiple means of navigation to assist readers is a good thing. -- Whpq (talk) 15:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
