The result was redirect to Ken Medema. Despite the good faith effort made to make this a viable DAB page, there's consensus here that there's only one reasonable target, and therefore a redirect is superior to a DAB. Vanamonde (Talk) 20:39, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

This set index article contains only one entry with a bluelink. Ken Medema is the only article in the English Wikipedia that contains "Medema". GoingBatty (talk) 02:55, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Can't see the point in this article which, as the nom says, only links to one article in Wikipedia. Apart from that there are a couple of external links to information about two other people with the same surname but who don't have WP articles. Since we aren't a repository of random links, the article serves no useful purpose. Neiltonks (talk) 12:42, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ken Medema until anyone else has an en.wiki article or a mention worth linking. Pam  D  07:17, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Ken Medema, consistent with R from surname.—Bagumba (talk) 10:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've trimmed the external links and added an entry for the Medema factory that just about meets WP:DABMENTION, and I see no indication the musician is a primary topic. The corresponding Dutch Wikipedia dab (nl:Medema) has entries for a publicist and a publishing house with the name, but I'm not sure how noteworthy they are by enwiki standards, so I've omitted them. – Uanfala (talk) 11:10, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete to facilitate uninhibited Search. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:46, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You know, that's an argument for the deletion of any disambiguation page. The uninhibited search here throws up a large number of Medemas in article references (the sort of thing you do not really want to appear in the search results), while making it nearly impossible to find any content about the bus manufacturer. And if there are any relevant topics that do come up in the search results (I don't see any), then they can simply be added to the dab page. – Uanfala (talk) 13:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ken Medema, until disambig with another Medema article is needed. MrsSnoozyTurtle 11:42, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
