Monobook (disambiguation)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A disambiguation page with no navigable links to pages called Monobook or variants thereof. The page was proposed for deletion by User:R'n'B on 22 August with the concern, "None of these topics has a Wikipedia article, nor is likely to, so there is nothing to disambiguate". PROD was contested by User:B.Wind, who has expressed the opinion that DAB pages are eligible for AfD but not for PROD.

Personally, I support deletion. Cnilep (talk) 17:37, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, obviously, since I originally Prod'ed it. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom; it's a disambiguation page that doesn't disambiguate between any articles. &mdash; λ (talk | contribs) 18:50, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I tried to search for the subject word but there was nothing there. Google searches turned up the info presented (after much effort). There are 10 links in the article -- I added one -- so it's not "A disambiguation page with no navigable links to pages called Monobook..." A redirect from a page called "Monobook" to the meta skins section doesn't seem right because the term has multiple meanings. If a disambiguation page is inappropriate, then perhaps a page simply called "Monobook" with all the presented information. In any case, something should show up when you type "monobook" into the search engine. (I removed the deletion template from the page -- hope that's okay.)

 * No, actually, it's not okay (and I see that someone else has reinserted it). Please read the message in the deletion template; it says very specifically that the template must not be removed until this discussion has been concluded.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:53, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. A template placed on my talk page said, "You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page." I saw the embedded comments but wasn't sure which applied, so I tried to be bold. :) Helena srilowa (talk) 14:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I just read the article wp:disambiguation and I understand now. I've changed my vote above (if that's allowed!) and transferred the information to the article Monobook (which was a redirect) so folks will have access to that information. Helena srilowa (talk) 14:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * p.s. - Maybe some expert on the process can reword that talk-page template so it doesn't instruct people to delete the deletion template... Helena srilowa (talk) 14:08, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No harm done. I think you got confused because the prod that was originally placed on the article was changed to a afd template; the message on your talk page applied to the first one, but not to the second.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 14:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as prodded (and prods are applicable to disambigs). -- JHunterJ (talk) 00:27, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, and do not re-create the dab page by putting it at Monobook to over-write the long-standing redirect there. (I've just reverted Helena's newly-created dab page to the redirect.) The information H flushed out "after much effort" by using Google is material not appropriate to a dab page - those uses of Monobook aren't mentioned in the relevant articles, so she's created an artificial, unnecessary, dab page. (Mysteriously, searching WP for "monobook" throws up the Technicolor article  but I can't find the word therein, though two other articles refer to the 1945 innovation of "Tehnicolor Monobook" used in shooting Son of Lassie. If I could find it in the Technicolor article, it might justify creating a dab page.)PamD (talk) 15:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - clearly fails as a disambiguation page -- Whpq (talk) 13:30, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Note that Monobook (skin) has been speedy deleted. There is currently only one navigable link on the DAB page, to Font. Cnilep (talk) 14:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
