Patrick Nagel (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

per WP:ONEOTHER. A hatnote atop the artist's entry pointing to the one-sentence stub delineating the footballer would be sufficient. The hatnote can also point to the similarly-named goaltender Pat Nagle. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:19, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep I de-prodded this disambiguation page because it Fulfills WP:D - It is necessary to provide links and disambiguation pages so that readers typing in a reasonably likely topic name for more than one Wikipedia topic can quickly navigate to the article they seek. FYI: there are three similar names listed on the page, two names are spelled Patrick Nagel and a third name is spelled Patrick Nagle. The similar spelling of the third tells us that readers could easily confuse Nagel and Nagle - the main purpose of a disambiguation page is to assist readers...and this one does.

 * It may be noted that anyone typing Patrick Nagel, or its redirect Pat Nagel, will arrive at the page for artist Patrick Nagel where a hatnote should inform of the existence of the stub for Patrick Nagel (footballer) and about the differently-surnamed ice hockey goaltender Pat Nagle. Alternatively, if one types Pat Nagle, or its redirect Patrick Nagle, those links flow to the goaltender's page where a hatnote should inform of the existence of the entries for the artist as well as the footballer, both of whose surnames are spelled "Nagel". Either way, there is no need for the dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:48, 3 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. Disambiguation can be accomplished with a hatnote. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:12, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * keep this is a 2other situation and breaks no guidelines. Boleyn (talk) 05:46, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Typing "Nagel" instead of "Nagle" is quite a reasonable expectation and so this page will help the reader reach the appropriate article when searching for the hockey player if they type the name with the incorrect spelling. -- Whpq (talk) 13:28, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
