William Duthie (disambiguation)

Does not disambiguate any articles, nor are there even articles that mention the two redlinked entries (which can be removed per MOS:DABRED). Contested PROD, so must go here now. MB 20:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Agree that in its present form the dab can't stay. However, William Duthie (the politician) appears to be pretty obscure, so as soon as someone creates an article about one of the other people with the name (assuming they're notable), then we'll likely need to move the politician to a disambiguated title and make the primary title a dab page.

 * Delete for now per MOS:DABRED. If anyone writes the redlinked articles it can be redisambiguated at that time Central and Adams (talk) 23:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as as unnecessary at this time. Per WP:D2D Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article' to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. As there is only one existing article, disambiguation isn't required unless and until the other articles are created. I had tagged it as WP:CSD which was removed because the article had been previously de-prodded, which I don't believe is relevant.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:57, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per my PROD; apologies for wasting everyone's time by using PROD instead of CSD; I failed to realize G14 would apply here. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:18, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
