Baguio (disambiguation)

Links in the disambiguation page are only mostly related articles and/or partial matches (Baguio Cathedral, Baguio Airport, etc.) and do not appear to need disambiguation. Sanglahi86 (talk) 08:05, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. The listed articles are distinct from each other. There's no need for disambiguation. --Hiwilms (talk) 09:16, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * No vote, but there was a long discussion in 2006 on why this page was created at Talk:Baguio (disambiguation). Howard the Duck (talk) 02:05, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It is not correct that there is no disambiguation needed. We need to disambiguate Cyrus Baguio when a user has just typed Baguio.  People are commonly referred to by their surnames, and I have lost count of the number of times dab pages have helped me provide a link in articles I write when I only know the surname or initials.  The page is also useful for readers who have typed "baguio" in error for bagyo.  Of course, both of those can be handled with hatnotes, and it is no great loss to dump all the partial matches.  I have no overwhelming preference for which solution should be adopted, but I don't want us to delete the page without first attending to what is useful to the reader.  So I am at don't delete unless and until suitable hatnotes are created. SpinningSpark 10:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: there are two people who would form a clumsy hatnote if there were no dab page, and many of the partial matches are entities which could plausibly be referred to as plain "Baguio". Have added the RC diocese, in that category. Have also cleaned up some of the excessivley wordy entries. Pam  D  11:42, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Changing to keep per PamD. SpinningSpark 12:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Changed vote to Keep. Everything listed under "Baguio may also refer to:" except Metro Baguio should be removed. This is based on Manila (disambiguation). --Hiwilms (talk) 16:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
