Estevan (disambiguation)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Per WP:DAB, only Estevan would use the title Estevan. Please also see Talk:Estevan_%28disambiguation%29 for relevant history. DigitalC (talk) 11:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a dab page. Let it stay. Pburka (talk) 12:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - perfectly reasonable dab page. Mjroots (talk) 13:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - in addition to the above, the talk page contains some discussions that affect this and other pages (deleting the page would delete the discussions too). --Qyd (talk) 14:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - Qyd says it all. Risker (talk) 20:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - a reasonable disambiguation page. Estevan is also a personal name. Reggie Perrin (talk) 21:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree that it is a REASONABLE disambiguation page, as it disagrees with WP:DAB. If there was another place called Estevan, then I can see a need for a DAB. As it is, no one is going to type in Estevan, for Estevan Point, or for San Estevan. In analogy, should there be a Diego (disambiguation) page for San Diego, Diego, and Diego Ramires Islands? DigitalC (talk) 23:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * As I said, Estevan is also a personal name and can be either a given name or a surname. Someone could type Estevan to find out about its use as a personal name just as someone might type Tom, Dick or Harry. Reggie Perrin (talk) 00:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per DigialC. GreenJoe 23:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is the standard way for setting up disambiguation where the primary meaning remains at the non-disambiguated page. There are other meanings for Estevan but the city is likely the primary meaning. See Saskatoon (disambiguation), Calgary (disambiguation), Edmonton (disambiguation), etc. for other examples. RedWolf (talk) 01:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * A poor analogy, as none of those DAB pages only include partial title matches. For example, there is a need to disambiguate Saskatoon (electoral district)from Saskatoon, Saskatechewan; Calgary, Mull from Calgary, Alberta; and Edmonton, QLD from Edmonton, Alberta. There is no ambiguity with Estevan, and therefore no need for a DAB.DigitalC (talk) 07:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete (though it does little harm to keep it). Strictly speaking, the only page that should be listed on here is Esteban (name). When there are only two topics to disambiguate, I think a hat note on the primary page suffices. So there should be a hat note on Estevan, pointing to Esteban (name), and that's it. Sam Staton (talk) 14:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. For goodness sake, it's a harmless dab page. For those that request a policy argument, I say that there's no policy argument for deletion. The policy that nominator provides concerns additions to a dab page, not the very existence of a dab page. There's no notability concern here, no original research concern here, nor any of the other bases for deletion. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
