Volya

Incorrect and confusing disambiguation page. The Banner talk 20:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Why is it incorrect and what's confusing? &mdash;Xezbeth (talk) 21:11, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The disambiguation page is not pointing to subjects of the same name or type. The two items mentioned have accidentely part of the name in common, but it is certainly not confusing or needing a disambiguation page. The Banner talk 21:20, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I initially would have made a simple surname redirect since there's only one person with the name, but noticed that Narodnaya Volya (disambiguation) already existed. It seems like a perfectly valid thing to disambiguate. In addition, there are several settlements with this name too but I don't know Russian so would have butchered adding them. &mdash;Xezbeth (talk) 21:23, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Russian battleship Imperator Aleksandr III, which was renamed Volya or Volia, with a hatnote there to Pavel Volya. Narodnaya Volya is a WP:Partial title match and therefore not a legitimate dab entry. Alternatively, there do appear to be at least ten Russian populated places and one abandoned one named Volya, so there is enough for a dab page with a person, a battleship and lots of redlinks.

 * Comment - This shouldn't be at AfD, it should have been boldly converted into a redirect. Nominator is correct that this is an improper disambiguation page. Y'all also forgot Zemlya i volya, not that it matters. Carrite (talk) 04:13, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
