Mid-Atlantic accent (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:ONEOTHER, "If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic"—as is the case here—"then a disambiguation page is not needed". The two articles in question, Mid-Atlantic accent and Mid-Atlantic American English, are connected by hatnotes, and no article links to this disambiguation page. I previously prodded this, but Madreterra, who deprodded it, has not replied to my inquiry at their talk page. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:32, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. If one enters Mid-Atlantic English in the search bar, the target is Mid-Atlantic accent, where a hat note linking to Mid-Atlantic American English exists. There is a reverse hat note at the former article, so the system is working fine as is. All the present dab article will do if kept is create an extra step for those seeking the primary article, and that step needs to be avoided. StonyBrook (talk) 03:05, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
