Breakaway states
[edit]I've heard the term before, but disambiguation pages are not dictionary articles and they are not intended to be catalogs of every use of the ambiguous term. Dab pages are navigation pages that disambiguate Wikipedia articles, or topics covered within articles. The term breakaway is not mentioned in the article Secession, and although there are two redirects, breakaway state and breakaway states, that go to List of active autonomist and secessionist movements, that article also does not actually use the term breakaway. So putting the entry on the disambiguation page is like putting something in the index of a book even though the book doesn't deal with the subject. Why not be productive and put a referenced mention of the term in a relevant article before adding the term to a disambiguation page, without any verifiable support?--ShelfSkewed Talk 17:01, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
