Blanc-Sablon (homonymy)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It appears that the only town with this name is the one in Quebec. I couldn't find reference to any others. So, this page isn't really needed - it makes more sense to mention all of these topics at the article on the town, Blanc-Sablon, Quebec. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:57, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW, ignore the improper title, which has nothing to do with this nomination. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:58, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. We generally do not have disambiguation pages listing names of things in a city that share the name of the city. These are more like subtopics than ambiguous concepts. bd2412  T 14:19, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article about Blanc-Sablon disambiguation is very useful to users. Very often, these disambiguation pages help me in writing articles on Wikipedia, or search further. I publish few dozen articles on Wikipedia related to disambiguation topics; and the result is great. We must avoid the strict application of the rule, indiscriminately. Otherwise, the Wikipedia rule concerning erasing disambiguation articles must be questioned and be changed. The readers'best interest must prevail.User:Veillg1 19:30, 25 August 2014 (CEST)
 * For reference, on English Wikipedia, we use the word "disambiguation" - homonymy is not really a word in English. If you want to keep a page listing these on your user page to help you write articles, you're welcome to do that. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 00:50, 26 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete . Another abysmal pretense at a disambiguation page from Veillg1. older ≠ wiser 00:26, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Move to Blanc-Sablon (disambiguation). There are enough legitimate entries to warrant a dab page (even though all are mentioned at the base name page Blanc-Sablon (which redirects to Blanc-Sablon, Quebec -- and that might merit renaming per Canada naming conventions.

 * Keep and rename Blanc-Sablon (disambiguation). The "homonymy" is a cognate of the French word used on WP for "disambiguation." Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:51, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
