Atheist (disambiguation)

Do two Articles really warrant a disambiguation? KMFDM FAN (talk!) 01:03, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, not really. Delete, just put hat notes in the articles.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 01:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I just typed "atheist" in the search, and it appears that there are 6 or 7 articles that begin with the word. I think it's just a matter of adding those to the disambig page. Blackjays1 (talk) 01:45, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and use hatnotes; other uses shown in search don't need a dab--they should spawn from the use of the term to mean nonreligious. JJL (talk) 03:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete--Tznkai (talk) 06:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, the dab was created "to remove band hatnote from Atheism", which is like having the article Secularist start with "For the fictional character from the radio program Boobylala see Secularist (Boobylala)". -- Jeandré (talk), 2009-07-07t10:49z
 * Just use a hatnote. Fewer clicks to access content is a usability issue.— S Marshall  Talk /Cont  17:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete in favor of the hatnote. There is nothing wrong with a hatnote, even to a band, on Atheism, any more than there's anything wrong with the Boobylala example (if such a character on such a program exists). -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * See also Talk:Atheism/Archive 7 for a previous !vote on this topic. -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In fairness, a discussion from 2004 could easily be overruled here; consensus can change, and since 2004, frequently has.— S Marshall Talk /Cont  21:58, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing unfair; no more-recent consensus has formed (or been considered for formation) until this one. -- JHunterJ (talk) 23:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, the hatnote suffices. Thryduulf (talk) 22:49, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, hatnote suffices, especially since there are only two listings for athiest, it's not like Jesus where a link to a dab is necessary. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and add links. Bearian (talk) 20:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * erm, which links do you think should be added? Thryduulf (talk) 21:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and use hatnotes. older ≠ wiser 21:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep there are plenty of other articles that begin with the term "atheist" and use the term in such a way, it is worth disambiguating them. Besides, in an article with the seriousness of atheist, it does not look so relevant to have a hatnote for Atheist (band). Sebwite (talk) 01:57, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation pages are not lists of articles that begin with the same word. And the purpose of hatnotes is not to tie together articles of similar seriousnesses. -- JHunterJ (talk) 21:59, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Two articles doesn't require a disambig page. Go back to the hatnote. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  05:20, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
