Orphan dab, unneeded dab, no reason to expect either of these articles to be titled "Dr. Barnes" JHunterJ (talk) 01:18, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Barnes (name). -- Cycl o pia -  talk  19:32, 9 October 2009 (UTC) Keep - Dab are rarely unneeded, and users can reasonably try to search for "Dr.Barnes". -- Cycl o pia  -  talk  08:03, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Putting a dab page in the way keeps users from as easily reaching the search page, and since the matching articles aren't actually ambiguous (WP:D: "disambiguations are paths leading to different articles which could, in principle, have the same title", and none of these articles could, in principle, be titled "Dr. Barnes"), the dab page is more of a hindrance than a help for those "reasonable" users. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:24, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with the search concern. I think however it is just matter of updating the dab, isn't it? I will give it a spin tonight. (And I am not saying such users are reasonable, I am saying that it is reasonable that someone will use that search). -- Cycl o pia -  talk  15:59, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh, what about redirecting to Barnes (name)? -- Cycl o pia -  talk  17:08, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * If there exists a page (disambiguation, redirect, or other) at Dr. Barnes, it will inhibit the return of the search result set. Other than that, though, yes, redirecting it to Barnes (name) would be better than the current page. -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:34, 9 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as nom. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:24, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Robert Barnes (martyr). --Paularblaster (talk) 16:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * A page which does not mention "Dr. Barnes". Why? -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:34, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Try "Dr Barnes" (without a full-stop). --Paularblaster (talk) 20:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as none of the articles are "Dr. Barnes (xxx)" so a dab page is not needed to distinguish between multiple people. Tavix | Talk  17:08, 9 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per policy on WP:D. No need for a disambiguation page when the articles aren't ambiguous.  B figura  (talk) 04:54, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
