Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bandar (port)

The result was   no consensus. I'm tempted to say the best thing to do here is merge with Bandar, which was suggested by a couple of editors, but I don't see enough support for that to declare that a consensus. On the other hand, if somebody wanted to go ahead and do that merge on their own, I don't see any reason they should feel inhibited from doing so. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:47, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Bandar (port)

Article appears to be a dictionary entry. Prior disputed PROD. Dolescum (talk) 07:36, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The page Bandar (port) was made to solve the vast number of disambiguations related to the word Bandar which means port in Persian. Any other way to solve the dab is welcome.
 * By creating an article identical to Bandar, which the article Bandar (disambiguation) redirects to? Dolescum (talk) 09:14, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. WP:NAD provides the exception: "In some cases, a word or phrase itself may be an encyclopedic subject".  This seems to be one of those cases, though it does seem odd to be a disambiguation page, an article and a dictionary definition all rolled into one. Fiachra10003 (talk) 19:50, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I didn't know of the exception.

I had added the places that derive their names from the word Bandar so that the scope of the article expands. All of them are port cities. 7Sidz (talk) 18:20, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. This looks like a dab or list page. However, it fails WP:Partial title match for the former and WP:SALAT for the latter. Just because there are ports with "Bandar" in their names doesn't mean they should be grouped together. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:41, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've also made a major overhaul of Bandar. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:52, 15 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: I like the idea of a list of city names derived from the term, but some sourcing to show this is a notable topic would be helpful. I looked to see if we have a similar list of cities founded by Alexander the Great, all I see is a list at  Alexandria (disambiguation).--Milowent • hasspoken  13:08, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge. The content of this page seems more detailed than the content on the Bandar page, but they are effectively the same entry, and it removes the need for the disambiguation page (per Dolescum). AdventurousMe (talk) 04:20, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
