Talk:QBA (disambiguation)

Twodabs

The third entry is an NN SPA / COI advert, marked for deletion (plug my essay WP:BOGOF), and so is optional to have here (below reasonably likely in WP:MOSDAB). If/when deleted, per WP:TWODABS this dab should be deleted unless there's other valid entries? Ping User:PamD,‎ User:Ais523, User:Mild Bill Hiccup, User:Sweepy.

No strong feelings either way. PamD 11:36, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Probably worth keeping the dab. "qba" is a generic combination of letters and there are some other potential candidates for addition, only no articles at present provide adequately verifiable support for the usage (e.g., Qatari Businessmen Association, see Issa Abu Issa; or possibly a former/alternate name for a Queensland Baseball organization, see Gunnah Mollah; and then perhaps the most common use apart from wine is Quantitative Business Analysis). As such, it seems better to have hatnote to the dab page on the primary topic rather. older ≠ wiser 12:14, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that User:Bkonrad has subsequently already pushed it over the useful boundary, regards Widefox; talk 12:18, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PamD, those two (at the face of it valid) viewpoints [1] [2] are exactly why I wrote BOGOF. The seemingly more charitable long-term viewpoint may be counterproductive - there may be a hazard of putting in good volunteer time to fix (and make accessible via dabs) obvious promo / COI subversion of WP.
