Frisia (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This was an attempt to separate the disambiguation of two closely intertwined articles - Friesland and Frisia. The editor who set it up (User:Triomio) received a 24 hour block under WP:3RR when (s)he persistemntly removed a number of entries from the artcile Friesland (disambiguation) in an attempt to set up the page now nominated for deletion. Given that the majority of articles (in terms of article count, but not in terms of hit count) use "Friesland" and "Frisia" as synonyms, we only need one disambiguation page.

Following on from Graeme's comment, I think that we need a single disambiguation article with three sections - "Frisia/Friesland disambiguation", "Frisia disambiguation" and "Friesland disambiguation". Having three clearly marked section will remove the "surprise" of users who are looking for one word and are directed to a disambiguous page with the other word. I have no strong views as to whether this should be a single artcile on its own or whether other disambiguation pages (such as Frisia (diasmbiguation)) should be redirects to the combined page.

Withdraw request Following on discussions with interested parties, I am withdrawing this request. Martinvl (talk) 13:50, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * keep I cannot see a valid reason to delete this. And it could be useful for all the different uses of the word. It should also have the Freesia article listed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment. Ideally, deletion debates hinge on reasoning, supported by high-quality evidence, around policy and guideline compliance. I don't see any such evidence or reasoning in the nomination here. Could I suggest that the nominator provides a reasoned explanation, and any supporting evidence, of which policies and/or guidlelines are alleged to have been contravened in the case of this disambiguation page. This will help those reviewing the nomination to reach an informed decision. Canepa (talk) 08:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. This pages looks like a valid dab page that lists several mutually unrelated topics. It's not only about the various divisions of the Frisia region but it also mentions the names of people and organisations. De728631 (talk) 09:44, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
