Apparatchik (disambiguation)
This page is redundant, per WP:2DAB as the articles can be reached by hatnotes to each other. There is little value in redirecting as this page is not linked from anywhere important nor is it likely to be in the future. Skomorokh  16:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - seems somewhat harmless and could be more uses in the future. Not sure about the venue though. I think RFD or AFD would be more appropriate. –xeno talk 16:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * My reasoning was that disambiguation pages are neither articles nor redirects, but do fall under the heading of "miscellany".  Skomorokh   16:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Intro to MFD says it's for use outside the mainspace. I've seen this issue come up a few times in the past few weeks, I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Deletion discussions. –xeno talk 16:22, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Disclosure: I have referenced this MFD in the above noted discussion –xeno talk 16:44, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per same WP:2DAB, disambiguation pages with only two entries are "not strictly necessary, but... harmless".—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:36, May 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep And this venue is fine IMHO. As long as reasons get given for the actions, it is rather unimportant where.  "Redundant" is not a sufficient reason for deletion. Collect (talk) 17:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Exhiki's rationale. --AndrewHowse (talk) 18:59, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:2DAB - unnecessary but harmless. And I've cleaned it up, too, unpiping the dabbed link per WP:MOSDAB. PamD (talk) 22:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, wrong venue. This should be at AFD. Stifle (talk) 10:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Redundance is not sufficient reason to delete an otherwise harmless page. It might be another thing if they were mass-produced by a single author. - Mgm|(talk) 10:35, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
