The result was delete. I've moved the links to Hard clam; would appreciate another pair of eyes to make a decision about trimming the text a bit if possible. Not leaving a redirect as it would be unnecessary and fall under CSD G14. —&#8239; The Earwig (talk) 02:54, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Quahog (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Per WP:ONEOTHER, there really should be at least 3 topics for a db page and this doesn't to have a good reason for an exception. I would also note that the first entry, Arctica islandica, *resembles* the hard clam (quohog) but isn't the same thing at all. The only reason for the db page seems to be that Hard clam already has plenty of hat notes, and Family Guy uses the name as a setting for the show. I'm not sure that is enough to ignore all rules and leave the db page. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 02:47, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: If I am to support deletion, I think Arctica islandica and Quahog, Rhode Island should be incorporated into the hat note on hard clam. ~ Ase1este charge-paritytime 08:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Quahog: It looks like about the same situation as the Cherrystone hat note on hard clam, so supporting delete/redirect. I prefer redirecting because wp:redirects are cheap. ~  Ase1este charge-paritytime 09:09, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: I created this disambiguation page in 2008 and was unaware of WP:ONEOTHER at the time (though CSD:G7 would not apply since there is a somewhat large list of editors).  Arctica islandica and Quahog, Rhode Island can simply be added as a hatnote on Quahog.  A redirect is unnecessary because it is very unlikely a reader would search for "Quahog (disambiguation)"  Frank Anchor Talk 03:20, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. On one hand, redirect to Hard clam is no good, because titles including (disambiguation) should really go to a disambiguation page. On the other hand, while Arctica islandica does start with the words, "The ocean quahog", it's at best a partial-title match, so ONEOTHER would seem to rule the day. Both the clam and the fictional town can go in a hatnote, similar to the current one for cherrystone. Cnilep (talk) 07:51, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
