Billy Ocean

[edit]

My rm of Billy Ocean was rv, so I'll just leave here the note that, as per MoS:DP, people names should only be included in dab pages when the person is also known by the dab name: "In most cases, do not list names of which Title is a part, unless the persons are very frequently referred to simply by their first or last name (e.g. Galileo, Shakespeare)." I don't think Billy Ocean is also known as just "Ocean". No possible confusion there. No need to be in the dab page. If anyone seconds this, please rm the link. --maf 12:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with removing it based on those reasons. I only restored because it was deleted without any mention in the edit summary, in the midst of other edits: for all i knew, it could have been an accident. --Piet Delport 15:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'll do it, then. (This whole procedure may sound anal, but I see it as a learning experience.)--maf 15:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's going on here

[edit]

I've just created a grouping called "science and astrophysics" but overall I am concerned that User:Bernardirfan is trying to rework this page into a listing of topics that could be called "oceans" but not in the way how disambiguation pages are normally set up. They normally link to a set of other Wikipedia articles, not to sub-sections within articles. EMsmile (talk) 19:52, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
