Chris Chan (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Simple enough: Neither of these people is called "Chris Chan", at least not according to their articles (one of which I'll note the creator wrote just to have an excuse to create this DAB), and thus both fail MOS:DABMENTION. The obvious ulterior motive here, as noted, was to get around longstanding consensus at Talk:Kiwi Farms that the prose of that article should not mention an individual known by the nickname "Chris Chan". There have furthermore been multiple consensuses at AN and one at DRV to not have any article on Chris Chan. On that basis, I have removed the "see also" to Kiwi Farms—but besides, a "see also" doesn't count toward a DAB page being useful or not; it's an extra little thing for not-quite-ambiguous titles. This is pure gaming the system, and this DAB page does not in any way benefit the encyclopedia. (If Chris Chan → Chris Chann [the page the DAB's creator wrote] is a plausible redirect, that can be decided separately.)

As a housekeeping note, if there is consensus to keep this, the closing admin should move this to the salted title Chris Chan, as there is no need for the "(disambiguation)" here when there's no article at that title. -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 01:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The motive for this page's creation is transparent, and it has nothing to do with guiding lost readers to the correct articles. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:19, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Chris Chann has now been deleted, so I have tagged this page for G14 speedy deletion. (Note that, even if the Kiwi Farms link were restored, that would not be a page being disambiguated, so would not prevent a G14.) --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 04:53, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
