Wayne Marshall (disambiguation)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Nominate for deletion Unnecessary page as there is already a hatnote to Wayne Marshall (DJ) at the primary page (Wayne Marshall. Boleyn (talk) 16:17, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Wayne Marshall (conductor) is not the primary page. The deejay is just as notable as conductor is. So I oppose, cause where should Wayne Marshall redirect? Readers might be looking for either of two. Netrat (talk) 18:59, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * CommentThe primary page is the one at Wayne Marshall, with no parentheses. What do you mean, where should Wayne Marshall redirect? It doesn't need to redirect anywhere, it's an article about the conductor and should stay as it is. The fact that the conductor is at the primary page shows that he is considered to be more notable than the DJ. They may be looking for either of two, but if they type in Wayne Marshall and they want the DJ, then there's a hatnote at the top of the page linking directly to the DJ. The alternative, as it was, was someone would type in Wayne Marshall looking for the DJ, go to conductor's article which is at Wayne Marshall, click on hatnote to disambiguation page, and then click on link to DJ, taking them longer.

 * I mean Wayne Marshall should redirect to Wayne Marshall (disambiguation) since niether of musicians are much more notable than the other. Netrat (talk) 13:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The fact that the conductor is at the primary page shows that he is considered to be more notable than the DJ. - considered by whom? Anyway, he is not. The only reason why the conductor is at the primary page is because his entry was written earlier. Netrat (talk) 13:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem is with internal links to Wayne Marshall page from other articles. Readers are likely to get the wrong article. Netrat (talk) 13:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Comment I see you've now moved the disambiguation page to the primary page, without any discussion or consultation - that isn't recommended. If you go to Wayne Marshall and then What links here, you'll see that a list of articles which are probably pointing to the wrong target now; please correct this as you should do after moving a page and initiate a discussion on conductor's page and link to it on DJ's page to the issue of comparative notability as DJ has mentions in only 2 other articles, evidence will need to be put forward. Boleyn (talk) 09:01, 2 August 2009 (UTC) Withdraw nomination while mess is sorted at the two pages. Boleyn (talk) 09:03, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have just checked this, and you know what? No Wikipedia articles link to Wayne Marshall (conductor). Only userpages and wikipedia projects pages. On the other hand, there actually are links to Wayne Marshall (deejay) from real articles, such as records by Sean Paul and Jamie Foxx where he's featured. Netrat (talk) 13:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I fixed all links that linked to Wayne Marshall. 9 articles link to conductor and 12 articles link to deejay. Anyone still thinks the conductor is the primary entry? I won't object deleting Wayne Marshall (disambiguation) if its contents is moved to Wayne Marshall. Netrat (talk) 13:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 17:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep the disambiguation page. Wayne Marshall should be directed there.  Neither entry is clearly primary.  ReverendWayne (talk) 20:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
