The information criteria disambig page should be blended into this disambig page under a third set of headings rather than being accessable by a link only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.97.203 (talk) 13:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the "information criteria disambig page"? It's unclear what page you're talking about. -- Fyrael (talk) 16:36, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is this actually a disambiguation page?!

[edit]

Is this actually a disambiguation page?! Article titles listed here are not ambiguous.

See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Partial title matches:

"Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion or reference. For example, Louisville Zoo is not included at Zoo (disambiguation) because people outside Louisville would not readily identify it as the "Zoo", and including all zoos in the world in the disambiguation page is impractical (though List of zoos is listed in the "See also" section). Add a link only if the article's subject (or the relevant subtopic thereof) could plausibly be referred to by essentially the same name as the disambiguated term in a sufficiently generic context—regardless of the article's title. For instance, the Mississippi River article could not feasibly be titled Mississippi, since that name is used by the U.S. state article, but it is included at Mississippi (disambiguation) because its subject is often called "the Mississippi"." --5.170.61.69 (talk) 07:45, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
