Hornsea (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Disambiguation page for articles whose names are not ambiguous. I don't believe the plain word "Hornsea" is used to refer to e.g. the Hornsea Wind Farm. Per MOS:DABNOENTRY. The creator of the page previously contested a proposed deletion. -- intgr [talk] 09:22, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - and move the main Hornsea article in on top. I agree with the nom's argument that none of these other things are likely to be called 'Hornsea' without clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blythwood (talk • contribs) 12:21, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

 *  Mild Keep: The pottery is definitely known as "Hornsea" -example http://chinasearch.co.uk/buy/hornsea/cornrose/ - though could perhaps be done by a hatnote. The others are partial titles, but of the sort which commonly are allowed onto dab pages. Given that there are two "Hornsea Station"s, it's useful to have this dab page which distinguishes them. The wind farm ... no, can't really justify. There seems to exist a Hornsea Town FC, but the only mention in Wikipedia is its reserves team playing in East Riding County League.

 * Found the FC, playing in Humber Premier League, and added to dab page. Pam  D  09:27, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * And if you look at Hornsea Wind Farm the refs all refer to it as "Hornsea", "Hornsea 1", "Hornsea Project" etc, so I think it has a valid place in the dab page.   Pam  D  09:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)


 * The chinasearch.co.uk link is irrelevant. Like you can read from the Hornsea Pottery article, the pottery business went out of business in 2000, so their products wouldn't be sold online in 2016. The "Hornsea" there refers to "Hornsea Patterns", see http://chinasearch.co.uk/buy/hornsea/ -- intgr [talk] 09:41, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hornsea is massively collectable, in a 60s-retro-chic sort of way; everyone's parents had it. Just look on ebay. (Perhaps has to be ebay.co.uk rather than ebay.com) Pam  D  09:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. I'm wondering if intgr is familiar with the way dab pages are being used, as all or most items on that page could be (colloquially) called Hornsea. Besides, the dab page isn't even the primary topic. --Midas02 (talk) 06:23, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm familiar with disambiguation pages, including the reasons why, for example, the Sydney (disambiguation) page doesn't include a link to Sydney Opera House. -- intgr [talk] 00:56, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, that's not the same. The opera house would be a clear partial match, the items on that page aren't. The railway stations are typically included on dab pages (he took the train at Hornsea), the football club as well (they played Hornsea). Leaves the pottery, which I wouldn't include, but PamD refuted that, and the wind farm, which is borderline, but given the shortness of this page, I would err towards leaving it. --Midas02 (talk) 02:23, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
