Even if sourced, Creation is a list of articles, not definitions

It's a WP:Disambiguation page. Doug Weller talk 07:01, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

@Doug Weller this is new knowledge - this is what I learned in San Francisco meeting with my friends and colleagues last week. Dyxtan (talk) 07:47, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

We can't use your own knowledge or experiences, see no original research. And as you know it's a dab page, ie a list of articles. And please never use all caps.

Also an article's talk page isn't a place to suggest renaming dab pages to something else

At Little Egypt (Ying-Yang) your edit summary said you were fixing a typo. You didn't do that, you added a source. Doug Weller talk 07:54, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

@Doug Weller can you make them better? Thanks, I didn't actually know those things yet - I do think there might be a better way to do this, I'll come back to it later (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cZcM1SNGZ3BjLwBD1F5oFdcP1EFxWnhFxaa95M6wb1c/edit?usp=drivesdk) Dyxtan (talk) 08:24, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Nope, I don't have time. I'm dying of cancer (see my talk page) and need to ration my time. Doug Weller talk 11:02, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

@Doug Weller I hear you and you've inspired me to find a way to help - might we find time for you and I to have a quick chat with a Movement Comms specialist? Dyxtan (talk) 14:41, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
