still isn't any signs that any of the articles are going to be created. If any of the articles are created, wouldn't it make logical sense just to recreate it? Right now, however, this "disambiguation" goes against policies. Disambiguation pages are "non-article pages that serve only to refer users to other
Knowledge (XXG) pages." This doesn't refer to any pages. THERE ARE NONE! There are plenty more points I can bring up, but hopefully you get the point.
261:. The dab page is actually very informative. One searching for "John Rogers House" now knows that there are four different places with that name, and knows the States where they are situated. In addition, articles on National Historic Registered Places are created by the dozens on a daily basis (I know, I patrol new pages). It won't be long before there are articles on atleast two of the listed places. --
517:, there is considerable value provided in disambiguation of NRHP pages. It saves considerable amounts of work later, if the first NRHP page created under a common name is the disambiguation page pointing out all the NRHP sites, rather than a page for just one of the NRHPs (see that user talk page for expansion on this point). I also ask that Tavix withdraw this AfD nomination.
424:: "For every style suggestion above, there is some page which has a good reason to do something else. These guidelines are intended for consistency, but usefulness to the reader is the principal goal. So ignore these guidelines if you have a good reason." Utilty to the reader here trumps other style requirements.
290:
and search for Knox County
Courthouse. This is a disambiguation and not a list, and therefore goes against what a disambiguation is used for. "n addition, articles on National Historic Registered Places are created by the dozens on a daily basis" This disambig was created several months ago and there
333:
states that "A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should only be included on a disambiguation page when another article also includes that red link." All of these red-linked articles listed here appear to have inbound links from historic article lists by various geographic criteria. I see
131:
This is an unneeded disambiguation page as there is currently no articles of this name. This was originally prodded but was removed with a message saying that the John Rogers House is notable. I am not here arguing whether these houses are notable, but that if there are no
Knowledge (XXG) articles
456:
One article has been written, and as inherently notable buildings it's highly likely that the others will be written. Since none of them has a better reason to be called "John Rogers House" (without geographical disambiguation) than the other two, we need to have a disambiguation page here.
411:
For a reader of the encyclopedia, the disambiguation page itself provides information on the location of the property, AND serves notice that there are multiple properties with the same name. Those are pertinent pieces of information when using
Knowledge (XXG) as a starting reference point.
355:
Yes, but if you read carefully you will see that is for links that are included within other blue links. An entire page of redlinks is not what a disambiguation is for. They are "non-article pages that serve only to refer users to other
Knowledge (XXG) pages" and this one doesn't do that.
385:? If so, note that the example given in the "redlink" section ("Flibbygibby") contains two entries, both of which are non-existant. That's implicit acceptance that a page containing non-existant articles is appropriate (and in any case, see my comments below).
170:, obviously. As Tavix says, if articles about more than one John Rogers House are created, this dab page can be recreated. Dab pages are not list pages, where redlinks can be included to signal the need for specific articles.
428:
For an editor of the encyclopedia, it's nice to know up front that an article should be unambiguously named; disambiguation pages are useful to flag repeated property names. For example, there are (at least) two
