Cause célèbre (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An unnecessary dab page, seeing as there are only two legitimate entries: the primary topic and the play. The third entry is only a partial match. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:51, 13 February 2014 (UTC)


 * No objection to deletion, although I think it would be harmless to keep. bd2412  T 02:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - The page should be converted to a hatnote at Cause célèbre. At the top of the page, it should read "For the play, see Cause Célèbre (play). Not to be confused with Cause Celeb." Or something along those lines. Mz7 (talk) 04:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete under CSD G6.-- Laun  chba  ller  21:34, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * CSD:G6 doesn't apply; there are three entries there, because "cause celebre" itself counts as one. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 21:44, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Cause Celeb doesn't. That's two.-- Laun  chba  ller  21:54, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of partial matches not counting. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 22:47, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:PTM says so. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:40, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Given how similarly they can be pronounced, "Add a link only if the article's subject (or the relevant subtopic thereof) could plausibly be referred to by essentially the same name as the disambiguated term in a sufficiently generic context—regardless of the article's title.", which I presume is what people are referencing, seems to be satisfied. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 10:08, 14 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm not aware of any issue with including partial matches in the count. WP:ITSUSEFUL may be valid for DAB pages. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 21:46, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, for many cause celeb and cause célèbre are pronounced identically and can be easily confused for those unfamiliar with the weirdness pertaining to French phrases adopted into English. However, a hatnote with both uses could also work, though if deleted, the article should also include a link to wiktionary as well. older ≠ wiser 02:43, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - I believe that disambiguation pages are supposed to go somewhere else for review, are they not? Carrite (talk) 06:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I used to think that, but apparently not. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 10:08, 14 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - If the above query is wrong. Legitimate dab. Carrite (talk) 06:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep 3 entries, including the valid see also. Nothing to be gained by deletion, currently it's WP:USEFUL. Boleyn (talk) 15:26, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
