U.S. Route 19 Alternates; St. Petersburg-Holiday vs. Brooksville

Over three years ago, you reverted a disambiguation for U.S. Route 19 Alternate (St. Petersburg - Holiday, Florida) claiming there was no reason to disambiguate. That's not actually true, and I recommend you consider the former U.S. Route 19 Alternate (Brooksville, Florida). ---------User:DanTD (talk) 01:26, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

I have no recollection of the reason for this. I'm reasonably certain it would have been a CSD request or similar, but I can't find it. I have no opinion on US roads, so I would only have done this because someone asked me to. I've no opinion on whether it should be disambiguated now. GedUK  10:46, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Earthsea history

The article Earthsea history has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Insufficient content here for a standalone article separate from Earthsea (universe) and Earthsea. There is no substance here from reliable secondary sources. Title is an implausible search term.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
