Thomas Dorsey

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Disambiguation page with only two articles. It makes more sense to have disambiguation links at the top of each article, which already exist. This page could redirect to Thomas A. Dorsey who is the most frequently used search for Thomas Dorsey, or that article could be relocated here. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:11, 18 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep per MOS:DAB, dabs with 2 entries are fine, unless one is clear primary use of term, which I don't think is the case here (Tommy gets twice as many hits, but Thomas A. was presumably more commonly known as Thomas) Boleyn (talk) 16:42, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, valid dab page with no primary topic. It could become a redirect to a primary topic with consensus at Talk:Thomas Dorsey, but that's independent of this deletion discussion. -- JHunterJ (talk) 20:20, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as needed for students looking for which one is which. Bearian (talk) 19:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Slightly inept nomination, since we have to do something with "Thomas Dorsey", either keep it as it is, or turn it into a redirect to one of the two. As JHunterJ says, this should be discussed further at the relevant talk page. PatGallacher (talk) 19:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
