Queensland August 2005 by-elections

Originally nominated for speedy deletion, it was changed to a disambiguation page by admin User:Stifle. But I don't think a disambiguation page is appropriate. The title of the article isn't something people are likely to search on. Plus I've altered all links to the article to point to Chatsworth state by-election, 2005 or Redcliffe state by-election, 2005. Now that those two articles have been created, I can't see any reason to keep this page. Digestible (talk) 00:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Agreed. (i.e. Delete) The only thing they have in common was that they happened to be on the same date - they were otherwise unrelated (and that relationship can simply be noted by a link to each other on each of the two pages). Orderinchaos 01:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, agree with nominatior, this is hardly a likely search term (especially now that no article-space pages link to it), and the two articles already reference each other. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:36, 28 March 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete List of Queensland state by-elections does the same thing and does it better. As with the dab page, there is always the frightening 50-50 possibility that someone might click on the wrong August 2005 Queensland by-election, and then say, "Oh no, it must have been the other August 2005 by-election, I can't do anything right!"

 * Delete The category Queensland state by-elections provides a comprehensive listing of all such elections.  This disambiguation page is unnecessary.  Dolphin51 (talk) 01:29, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
