Landcraft

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PRODed this page with concern "Unnecessary disambiguation page. There is no indication that any of the topics listed are commonly referred to as "landcraft"; the term appears to see next to no use at all. A Google Books search gave mostly personal names." I've de-PRODed it and brought it here for discussion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:18, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reason given in the PROD rationale. I fail to see why a discussion is necessary to delete a disambiguation page that doesn't have any ambiguous entries. Huon (talk) 15:39, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, there is no primary "Landcraft" article that requires disambiguation, nor is there any notable content behind this term. This page was created by a relatively new user. HopsonRoad (talk) 16:06, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * ,, I'm sorry: the comment I meant to post after my nomination wasn't processed. I wanted to discuss it here because I'd like to see it redirected rather than deleted. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:53, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Landship, which is the only article on the page with a mention. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:53, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - The landship article is currently also under discussion, and it's unlikely that it will continue to mention the term, even if it's kept. That's because there is no indication that landships, by whatever definition, are commonly (or at all) called "landcraft", and no source using that term is given in the landship article. Such a redirect arguably would qualify for speedy deletion as a recently created implausible redirect. It's a neologism not in common use (ie it's a made-up term).

 * I'd be happy for the redirect to be taken to WP:RfD under these circumstances (not speedy: it's not uncontroversial), but for now the mention exists, so my redirect !vote stands. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:19, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It's mentioned in the landship article because the editor who created the disambiguation page added it a few days ago. If we really need not one but two deletion discussions to remove a piece of totally unsourced original research from the encyclopedia, then so be it. I have not seen any policy-based argument to have this page kept in whatever form, though, and I hope the closing admin will take that into account. Huon (talk) 15:05, 22 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - The only "landship" currently in the lexicon is Landship (Barbados). "Landcraft" does not show up in any major dictionaries. It occurs in some obscure texts, like Advanced Anthropomorphic Test Device (AATD) Development Program (in a reference), The General Statutes of North Carolina, and C++ Programmer's Companion, none in a manner that creates notability.
