There's only one article called "Gangway". The only other legit entry is a redlink. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:36, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete inappropriate dab. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * How will a user get to walkway from the article Gangway? Replace the tophat note with a multiple see also to aisle and walkway? -84user (talk) 10:32, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Some history: this version was what Gangway looked like in 2008-01-03T18:30:47; the topnote was removed at 2008-12-06T07:17:36; I then thought to save the note in a disambig here and here. -84user (talk) 10:59, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and a dab page is intended to list articles with the same name, not the same meaning. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:20, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete disambiguation as most are broad definitions that don't even contain the word 'gangway' in the respective articles. There is one exception I noticed with tramway being referred to as a gangway. As a result I would just delete the dab and create a hatnote from the band linking it to tramway.
