Charlie Daniels (disambiguation)

Merge with Charles Daniels- No need to have two disambig pages on what is essentially the same name Arbiteroftruth (talk) 21:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect; for future reference, this type of thing is relatively uncontroversial and is probably safe to do without the deletion discussion. --UberScienceNerd Talk Contributions 21:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Overlooked something again! I clearly lack the observation skills needed to be a helpful contributor in debates. --UberScienceNerd Talk Contributions 02:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, so many witty comebacks that could be made! Most of us, including myself, are continuing to learn the "rules" through trial and error.  I subscribe to the theory that all contributions in the AfD forum are helpful.  Mandsford (talk) 17:41, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep And what exactly would you call the merged page? There are two different disambiguation pages for "Jimmy Carter" and "James Carter".  You're assuming that everyone named "Charlie" was born a Charles, which is not necessarily the case.  Mandsford (talk) 00:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment- We could make the lead in Charles Daniels' disambig page read as "Charles (or Charlie) Daniels..." Arbiteroftruth (talk) 04:22, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. I see three names here, plus a "see also" to the Charles variant. This satisfies every rule of disambiguation pages I can think of. And it is a WP:NPOV and potentially WP:NOR violation to assume that the three individuals listed here - particularly the musician - have ever been known officially or professionally as "Charles." You don't see Johnny Carson listed as Jonathan Carson anywhere, do you? 23skidoo (talk) 05:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, the disambiguation page for that actually is called John Carson (disambiguation), even though nobody referred to the celebrities there as "John Carson and Edward McMahon" Mandsford (talk) 18:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. There would be no gain in efficiency from merging the disambiguation pages. Three "Charlie Daniels"es and five "Charles Daniels"es suggests that each of the name variations can support a disambiguation page of its own, with cross references from each to the other as exist now. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Concur with the above; Disambiguation pages, like redirects, are cheap. The caveat would be that a misleading disambiguation page should be deleted, but that's not the case here. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:08, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - perfectly valid disambig page -- Whpq (talk) 15:18, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep There are Charlies's and there are Charles', no reason not to list them separately. Alansohn (talk) 05:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
