Pirateville

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page disambiguates two existing articles, both of which does not contain word "Pirateville". It is useless. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:54, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. This search confirms the use of Pirateville in the context of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and this search in the context of Greenville. Perhaps information about the usage should be added to the target articles. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:47, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - beyond the obvious sporting references I have also found a couple of book references that refer to Galkayo in Somalia as "Pirateville" given its links to modern Somali pirates. Tossing up whether it should be included but the disambig should be kept either way.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 02:48, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. At present, none of the linked articles support the claimed usage and thus fail WP:DABMENTION. older ≠ wiser 16:00, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. Boleyn (talk) 16:19, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2014 July 20.  — cyberbot I  Notify Online 04:53, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: I do see where the term is used in this news story and this one about the NC Pirates, although I'm not seeing much so far. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:14, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete No mainspace interwiki links, this disambig is fairly useless. And as mentioned, it's not mentioned on the pages it points to. ~ Frosty  ( Talk page )  00:38, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  23:37, 27 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Meh, with keep tendencies. On the one hand, page view stats show this page has essentially never been viewed in the past 90 days until this AfD started.  So, it fails in its purpose as a navigation tool.  On the other hand, just like redirects, dab pages are cheap.  Sure, there's not much value here, but there's also no cost. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:37, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe it was not visited because it was created 2 days before the nomination. Vanjagenije (talk) 01:03, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm a dufus for not noticing that :-) Still, dab pages are cheap, so I'm going to dial my recommendation all the way up to weak keep.  -- RoySmith (talk) 12:34, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * But until the linked articles actually support the claimed usage, there is nothing to disambiguate. older ≠ wiser 23:37, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Refine links and keep These need to link to the specific sports teams or events that actually give these places the nickname, and not just to the cities, which just confuses people. All the problems with this disambiguation page can be fix by linking to the proper articles. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:37, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Do those team articles mention the word "Pirateville"? If not, it still contrary to MOS:DABMENTION? Vanjagenije (talk) 13:56, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
