Kate McCann (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The DAB page includes only a primary topic and one other item. I can't find any other appropriate entries or even partial-title matches. A hatnote at Kate McCann would suffice. Leschnei (talk) 12:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: when I created the article, I used the title Kate McCann (journalist), and had Kate McCann as a redirect to this page. The journalist page was then moved by to become the primary topic. I would disagree with this move - I think that the name Kate McCann, to most people in the UK, would be more familiar as the mother of Madeleine McCann than of this journalist.

 * Comment: I agree most people in the UK will associate the name Kate McCann with the Kate McCann whose daughter disappeared in 2007. Perhaps a solution here is to put a hatnote on the page directing to the Disappearance of Madeleine McCann article. This is Paul (talk) 12:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. This is what I had done on the article, until it was removed by when moving the article. —QueenofBithynia (talk) 13:13, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Totally agreed, Delete and replace with hatnotes. Elemimele (talk) 16:41, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ONEOTHER. No need for a dab page with a PT and only one other ambiguous topic. Usually, if only one topic has an article, it is the primary topic. It that is not the case here, then the base name should be a redirect to the PT, and there should be a redirect hatnote there mentioning the other title. Note that deleting the dab does not resolved which is the primry topic. If there is consensus here on that point, they can be boldly swapped, otherwise a move discussion. MB 16:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per MB. If there were several notable people with that name, it'd be one thing, but there isn't. Best just to place the missing daughter on the top of the journalist's article. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 18:07, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: I've changed the hatnote. Pam  D  07:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: But is the journalist actually the primary topic? Or would we be better off with a dab page pointing to the two Kates? Perhaps we should revert the undiscussed move? Pam  D  07:52, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I would personally support this. Madeleine McCann's mother is definitely the primary topic for this name. QueenofBithynia (talk) 10:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd also support this. The journalist was relatively unknown until she collapsed on TV earlier this week, where as the other Kate McCann is the far more notable of the two because of her daughter's disappearance and the long standing campaign to find her. This is Paul (talk) 00:01, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no objection. This seems like a reasonable way forward. Leschnei (talk) 21:02, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
