Since there is no language called "Uruguayan", there is nothing to disambiguate; all topics on the page are partial title matches referring to the clear primary topic of the title, Uruguay. This disambiguation page, which contains no actual ambiguous topics, should be deleted in favor of a redirect that will take readers to the one topic that actually corresponds to the title. bd2412 T 21:06, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Borock (talk) 22:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - that's not a disambiguation page whatever it claims. Its only purpose would be to cause confusion. Neonchameleon (talk) 23:37, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Uruguay. I did wonder whether the sheep breed justified a dab page, but on googling it doesn't seem to be a commonly-used term for the breed. Nothing here justifies the dab page. Pam  D  13:22, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Even if the sheep were called that, the dab would still need to be moved, at least, in favor of the clear primary topic of the term. I actually wouldn't be terribly opposed to that as a solution, either. bd2412  T 13:30, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Uruguay which should answer questions about language, nationality, etc. Looking at other pages, Chilean and Bolivian are disambiguation pages similar to Uruguayan, so people may want to AfD or redirect them. Venezuelan and Peruvian already redirect to the country. Brazilian and Spanish are also disambiguation pages, but in those cases you have a beauty term, a song, a colloquial term for confectionery, etc, which provide some justification for the usefulness of a disambiguation page. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:04, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I generally agree as to all adjectival forms; Spanish is also the name of a language, and the general practice has been to disambiguate where this is the case. bd2412  T 14:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - useful or not, I don't see what is the harm for it to exist as a dab page. Bearian (talk) 22:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Then move it to Uruguayan (disambiguation). As it stands, it generates disambiguation links to be fixed, which always refer to things relating to the country, Uruguay. bd2412  T 22:35, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
