Links on page do not meet criteria at WP:DPAGE and there is no need for a disambiguation page under these titles. Previous deletions have taken place for Chinatown, Boston (disambiguation) and Chinatown, Los Angeles (disambiguation) for the same reason. – Dream out loud (talk) 15:31, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep the disambiguation pages for Chicago and Houston. The disambiguation pages seem to be in keeping with the guidelines. Chicago has two active "Chinatowns" with restaurants and ethnic stores, as well as large Asian populations. The disambiguated term might refer to either. In Houston, there is apparently a historic one as well as the active one, so a disambiguation page is appropriate and helpful to readers. No opinion on the one for Washington DC, since one is outside the city/district. Edison (talk) 23:46, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Both those pages should be deleted with a hatnote placed on the page. There's only one link to be added to the hatnotes so an entire separate disambiguation page is not necessary. – Dream out loud  (talk) 02:21, 13 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete all per WP:TWODABS. Locations and metro stops within a Chinatown are not ambiguous to the location they serve. Taking those out, nothing is left for these but a primary topic, and at most one other topic. This can be dealt with by a hatnote. bd2412  T 15:22, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Chinatown on the south side of Chicago and New Chinatown on the north side are not "metro stops within a Chinatown" at all. Chicago is far from one big Chinatown.The two are many miles apart Similarly your comments do not apply to the old and new Chinatown in Houston. For that matter, they also do not apply to one in DC and one outside DC, but I am not averse to removing that disambiguation page since they are in different cities.

 * Delete all. In the Chicago case, Chinatown Square and Cermak–Chinatown (CTA station) are not ambiguous and for that matter, neither is "New Chinatown" in West Argyle Street Historic District. The old and new chinatowns can be cross-referenced. The same approach applies to Houston and DC. older ≠ wiser 02:49, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Washington, D.C. I'm not familiar with the other cities, but in Washington there is definitely only one Chinatown.  Rockville is not Washington, and I would be utterly amazed if one could find any WP:RS that refers to any portion of Rockville as "Chinatown, Washington, D.C."  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 14:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
