British folklore? Patrick Swayze movie? Led Zepplin song? This page needs a disambiguation.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.7.26 (talk) 04:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It *was* a disambiguation page until someone deemed that Black Dog = Black Dog (ghost) —Preceding unsigned comment added by MegX (talkcontribs) 06:58, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Would someone please explain the logic behind notability? JHunterJ removed the reference to the Black Dog dojinshi group, which has published numerous works; yet the reference to a Cowboy Bebop character stays. I really don't see why a cartoon character (which only appeared in a single series) would be more notable than someone who draws cartoons; explain, please? Not that it really matters, I suppose. My mistake, wasting time adding knowledge to Wikipedia, rather than looking for a specialized wiki out there. I shall go do so now, and never contribute to Wikipedia again. May you choke on your own notability, or lack of it; and may Wikipedia wither under the weight of arbitrary and pointless deletions, and take the deletionists with it. 88.112.71.108 (talk) 18:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Things with a Wikipedia article are notable enough for inclusion in the disambiguation page, which serves to disambiguate Wikipedia articles, not list everything associated with the dab term. Since the dojinshi group has no Wikipedia article, it doesn't need to be disambiguated from other Wikipedia articles. See WP:D and WP:MOSDAB for the disambiguation guidelines. -- JHunterJ (talk) 22:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Black dog as a metaphor

The term black dog is often used as a metaphor for depression (or mood disorders) - referencing Winston Churchill.

See: https://jppreston.com/2013/09/21/the-history-of-the-black-dog-as-metaphor/ and: https://psychcentral.com/lib/when-the-black-dog-starts-growling-5-steps-to-leash-your-depression/

However, this disambiguation page offers no suggestion of such. It really should be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.135.192.225 (talk) 13:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Correction - it only mentions such under "medical". This is a bit misplaced and deserves a separate entry of its own - after all, the expression has it's own history and usage that makes it distinct and noteworthy. It does not necessarily specifically refer to major depressive disorder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.135.192.225 (talk) 13:25, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Black dogBlack Dog – The concurrent Talk:Black Dog (song)#Requested move 27 May 2021 has highlighted the fact that among the 29 entries at the Black dog disambiguation page (with "Black Dog" redirecting to it), 25 entries use the uppercase "D" and only four entries use the lowercase "d". — Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 22:02, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
