Payphone (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I think there's no need to create a disambiguation page for payphone and the red telephone box and payphone are both the same but different name for the British and American, respectively. j3j3j3 ... pfH0wHz 03:01, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete DAB seemed to be created for the Maroon 5 song alone, when a hatnote in the main payphone article certainly suffices, as is currently done, and RTB is currently linked in payphone article. Not needed, just an extra layer of unneeded disambiguation.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 06:34, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nate. The Maroon 5 song can be hatnoted. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 07:09, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

 * These are not different names for British and American payphones. "Red telephone box" refers to a structure usually found in the UK that may contain a payphone (but many payphones are not in red boxes, and some, such as those in shopping centres, are not in boxes at all).
