CAMRA (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unnecessary dab page - all covered in hatnote except for possible spelling mistakes. If we have a dab page, then someone wanting the Canberra orgn will have one further click to do (CAMRA redirects to Campaign ..., would then have hatnote to dab page, with link) (I absent-mindedly took this to MfD forgetting how dab pages should be treated, and it was procedurally closed there).

 * Keep. While not strictly necessary, I don't see the harm in it. There is no rule requiring that just because a "Foo (disambiguation)" page exists, it must be linked from a hatnote in the "Foo" article; on the other hand, I could see readers who have become accustomed to our use of "(disambiguation)" in titles searching for CAMRA (disambiguation). bd2412  T 13:26, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment if this unnecessary dab page is kept but not linked from CAMRA, then it will not be found by editors making changes to any senses of CAMRA and risks becoming out of date and confusing. Pam  D  08:04, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The only circumstance I can see where changes to "any senses of CAMRA" would apply would be if new senses were discovered, at which point the need for a disambiguation page would be even more clear, and anyone thinking that one should be made would find this title as soon as they went there to make such a page. bd2412  T 15:08, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Note that other sense were removed, as not having suitable target articles yet. Rich Farmbrough, 01:46, 17 March 2012 (UTC).


 * Keep and restore the other meanings, and re-write MOSdab. Rich Farmbrough, 01:46, 17 March 2012 (UTC).


 * Disambiguation pages are to assist navigation between Wikipedia articles when a redirect to only one of them is impossible. "Restore other meanings" in this case means "create encyclopedia content for the other meanings", in line with WP:N, WP:V, and WP:NOT. AfD is not the place to redefine WP:D (not just rewrite WP:MOSDAB).-- JHunterJ (talk) 16:21, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep for the benefits of the See also, and hatnote from Campaign for Real Ale, but definitely do not restore other meanings with no encyclopedia coverage. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:21, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
