The Queen

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Disambiguation page containing only two senses of the word, and one sense is not in accordance with naming convention Bsherr 21:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

This to to provide a fuller explanation for deletion of this disambiguation page. The disambiguation page "The Queen" consturcts the phrase in two senses: (1) third person reference to a female monarch, and (2) the so-named motion picture The Queen (film).

In the first sense, use of the phrase in context would not include capitalization of the article--"the Queen" and not "The Queen". Therefore, an entry in this sense of the phrase should properly be named "Queen" and not "The Queen", in accordance with Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name).

The second sense, in context, would inclue a capitalized article--in the movie "The Queen"--and is proper under naming conventions.

There are no other senses of this word included in the disambiguation page here proposed for deletion.

The problem with maintianing this disambiguation page is that it invites (and its history and current form indicate) redundancy, in the first sense of usage, with Queen, a disambiguation page that is properly named in this sense of the phrase in accordance with the naming convention. Efforts to maintain this article to do only (1) refer to Queen and (2) refer to The Queen (film) have not been able to be maintained due to unawareness of this intent and of the naming conventions.

I therefore propose: (1) deletion of this disambiguation page (2) installation of a redirect to the film page "The Queen" (3) preserving the properly executed link to the disambiguation page Queen on The Queen (film) Bsherr 21:24, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
