Talk:UV (disambiguation)

University of Virginia

I've never heard of anyone call University of Virginia "U of V" or "UV". It's "UVa"! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.1.76 (talk) 12:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UV Korean band

I notice my addition of the hip-hop band 'UV' was almost immediately removed for supposed "lack of notability", despite including a reference — unlike any other listing on the disambiguation page — and despite the fact that I was not even finished my edits. Try to show some respect. They featured for example in the OST for hit Korean movie The Plan Man. There's more to say, but it belongs not on a disambiguation page. —DIV (120.17.115.15 (talk) 01:56, 21 April 2017 (UTC))[reply]

NewEnglandYankee, what gives?
I add:

"* UV, the name of a "hip-hop project band" with two members ([[Yoo Se Yoon]] and Muzi) <ref>[https://www.viki.com/artists/20776c-uv?_escaped_fragment_=#! UV - 유브이 - Korea - Artist - Viki] (Accessed 2017-04-21)</ref>)"

which has a citation and also WP cross-reference to a band member's page, and also I add a Talk entry on the UV_(disambiguation) page. But instead of being patient and waiting for consensus, and instead of having a dialogue or discussion, you just take summary action.

Per MOS:DAB and WP:DDD, there should not be external links or references on DABs as they are for on-wiki navigation. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:26, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, User:Chrissymad. Although that was not the main issue that was being raised by User:NewEnglandYankee, who was instead concerned about notability (which citations might have addressed, despite being frowned on by the MOS in a DAB).

I will have another go at this, and request that if it's still not perfect, try improving it, rather than just deleting it.

The basis this time is linking to the section that makes up a dominant part of an existing WP article.

This fits in with MOS:DABRED. It also deals with the issue of notability. And I'm not inserting any citations this time around.

If you prefer to create a redirect from the as-yet-nonexistent page UV (Korean band) or similar, per the suggestion of WP:DABREDIR, then feel free to make that amendment.

Why it was such a struggle to add a justified/justifiable disambiguation link I may never fully comprehend....
