Talk:Top Banana

Top Banana

Though removed by Damiens, I placed it once more since 'Top Banana" may also refer to to the Puerto Rican Band by that name. Source: {http://wn.com/top_banana_el_viaje]. Antonio Martin (talk) 05:46, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's no point in listing a non-notable topic in a dab page.
If you only disagree with one removal, why did you fully reverted three different edits?

Further:

Dab pages are navigation aids - entries in dab lists that don't even contain a link to a target page make no sense on a dab page.
Likewise, if an article on the target topic doesn't exist, per WP:MOSDAB, a dab entry (with a redlink) should only be added if the topic would be a legitimate article topic and is likely to have a legitimate article at some time. In the case of bands, that means they need to fulfil basic notability criteria, at least so as to overcome WP:CSD#A7. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:05, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per Fut.Perf. comments above, I have removed some more entries. I am open to discussing those removals here. At the least, can citations be provided going forward before any more "material" is added to this page? I'm not sure what policy or guideline that might fail under, but it seems as a general rule, that ALL material, if questioned by an editor, should have a citation provided to back up its authenticity(sp).

Hi. As I told Damiens.rf earlier, this page has a long way to go to comply with MOS:DAB. I applied the following requirements:

Every entry must have exactly one blue link, no more, no less
No external links, no partial title match and no links to articles that don't mention the subject of disambiguation
Specific writing style in the form of sentence fragments, with no period at the end
Proper formatting of links, per WP:ITALIC and MOS:CAPS

Given these requirements, many of the entries added by AntonioMartin were unfortunately invalid.
