Deep One (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnecessary disambiguation. The entry for XCOM fails MOS:DABMENTION because the term "Deep One" is not at the article, leaving only 1 entry. Although trivial, this deletion request must be AfD procedurally because it has previously been subject of PROD, and AFD (2006), otherwise it would be CSD WP:G6 deletion of an orphan dab page with one entry.

 * Delete 2-item disambiguations are unneeded per WP:2DABS, a hatnote would suffice even if the monster were mentioned in the XCOM article. Further, the XCOM reference may well be simply an instantiation of the Lovecraftian monster in popular culture, which would likely mean it should be discussed and linked from the prose on the primarytopic, rather than actually having its own article.

 * When this is deleted, can the closing admin also nuke Deep One (alien), which is just another redirect to the XCOM article that doesn't mention that in-game instantiation at all. Jclemens (talk) 16:29, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * That's probably a better argument for WP:RFD to handle... -- Tavix ( talk ) 13:31, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Could have been speedied, as Deep One (X-COM) and Deep One (X-COM race) lead to two different articles, neither of which mention the term 'Deep One'. Only one valid entry, and if a second is found, a hatnote is preferable per WP:2DABS. Boleyn (talk) 08:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. It's crazy that an inconclusive AfD from 11 years ago is keeping this from being prodded/speedied, this probably should have been taken care of then. -- Tavix ( talk ) 13:34, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: per Shhhnotsoloud and Tavix. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:44, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
