Homer Simpson (disambiguation)

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

This is a recently created disambiguation page for "Homer Simpson". Because only Homer Simpson exists, and not an article about an alternative Homer Simpson from The Simpsons episode "Homer to the Max", or the completely different Homer Simpson from the book/film The Day of the Locust, it was turned into a redirect to Homer Simpson, which mentions The Locust Homer, though not the "Homer to the Max" Homer. Everyone following? :) I then speedy deleted the page as WP:CSD "a redirect based on an implausible typo" after asking another Admin for their opinion. The creator asked me to restore it and take it to AfD, so here it is. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 18:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete no need for a dab here when only one Homer has a page. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough ambiguity to need disambiguation. There exists a hatnote at the top of the Homer Simpson page leading to the character Homer Simpson in The Day of the Locust already, and I am betting it isn't used much.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 19:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, the other Homer Simpsons are far from significant enough to require this, given that neither has their own page. A hatnote is, if anything, more than enough. ~ mazca  t 20:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete There is already a hatnote linking to the Day of the Locust, and I doubt many people who search for "Homer Simpson" are looking for the one-off character that appears briefly in "Homer to the Max". -- Scorpion0422 01:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - per above. Gran2 06:26, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only one article by this name, and other articles need no creation. Nothing ambiguous worth disambiguating. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete since adequate navigational hatnote exists at Homer Simpson. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:45, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm the page creator, and to be clear, I did ask Matthewedwards to run this through AfD, because it had a history of multiple questionable speedy taggings in the short time it existed. I have no problem following whatever the community consensus is here, and I suspect that it will be clear judging by the comments so far. I simply wanted it to get a clear community hearing. — Gavia immer (talk) 17:25, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
