Urdu (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This dab page is not necessary: the only ambiguous entry other than the primary topic is Urdu (band), a redirect about an early side project briefly mentioned at Robert Rich (musician), which I don't believe to be significant enough to warrant including into our navigational system. There's only one other helpful entry, Ordu (disambiguation), which can be linked from a "Not to be confused with" hatnote at the main article. The dab page has had more entries in the past (e.g. at the time of creation) but they have all been partial title matches for subtopics of the main article, and hence not ambiguous with "Urdu".

Personally, I would have been happy to leave this dab page as it is, to be there in case an actually ambiguous article gets created one day, but it's been the target of a lot of disruptive editing (by socks) over the last couple of months, which makes it somewhat expensive to have around. Pinging (the creator), and, who endorsed an earlier WP:PROD. – Uanfala (talk) 14:55, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per the nominator and WP:Disambiguation, although I'm not certain whether a hatnote for the band is appropriate. (Slightly irrelevant, but thanks for the nomination. I was planning to file one myself, but was a bit too busy.) Glades12 (talk) 15:41, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
