Dumbo, Angola

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a dab page, but all the entries are redlinks apart from one that redirects to an article about a person. DexDor (talk) 07:56, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree, but I'd hold off on deletion. Angolan place names are difficult to decipher, and this is a great resource. Red links: very little work is being done on Angola-related articles, even on basic geographic articles that you see here (villages), hence the red links. Prburley (talk) 11:21, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

*Delete The only blue link doesn't mention being known as 'Dumbo'; all others don't meet MOS:DABRL. Boleyn (talk) 14:12, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 *  Delete Redirect-at first I thought that someone was saying that this place was dumb or something. You automatically think of the elephant of course when you hear the word Dumbo. If this place is anything-a merge? Wgolf (talk) 15:02, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I changed my vote now to redirect. Wgolf (talk) 22:27, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment It could redirect to Dumbo (disambiguation) - then it would be easily recreated if/when needed. Boleyn (talk) 15:48, 26 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect I agree with Boleyn that a redirect is better, since some of these places are likely to eventually have articles. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. Five pillars.  By the way, the Dumbo in Bié Province does not refer to the person at the blue link, but to the settlement at 14° 3' S, 17° 26' E, which is known as both  and . I'll see if I can fix that. --Bejnar (talk) 20:36, 26 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Dumbo (disambiguation) as a plausible search term. NorthAmerica1000 05:09, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
