Speedy deletion nomination of Abu Lulu (disambiguation)
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Abu Lulu (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is:
- a disambiguation page with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" which lists only one extant Wikipedia page (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- a disambiguation page that lists zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" whose target is neither a disambiguation page nor page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. CNC (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Dab rationale?
[edit]Hi Rodw. I am badly missing the point here.Can you please explain, in words of one syllable and with optional crayons and A3 sugar paper, what is the rationale for your edits? I thought I was doing it right, because Queen Elizabeth School (disambiguation) simply redirects to Queen Elizabeth School, so I couldn't see the benefit in keeping in what seemed to me to be an unnecessary redirect. I am sure that this only confirms in your eyes that I am clueless but I really would appreciate the education! Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 12:39, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- I have a limited supply of crayons etc but will try to interpret WP:INTDAB as I understamnd it. Adding (disambiguation to the title where here is an intentional link to a dab page stops the various bots etc adding it to loads of lists of articles containing links which need to be disambiguated.So it is a process thing & doesn't impact on the reader experience.— Rod talk 12:43, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
