Thanks for your note. The disambiguation page is about the term "Coldwater", not "Cold Water". It seems trivial, but the sole purpose of a disambiguation page is to guide people to the correct page when an article has an incorrect link. My thinking is that song or book titles (if I remember correctly what I deleted) that are "Cold Water" will not be mis-linked as [[Coldwater]] and should not therefore be competing for attention on the dab page with more likely hits. If you have found articles that link to [[Coldwater]] but are meant to be "Cold Water [something]", then certainly you could restore those links.--[[User:Ken Gallager|Ken Gallager]] ([[User talk:Ken Gallager|talk]]) 12:40, 24 June 2009 (UTC) |

:Looking into it further, I see that [[Cold Water]] redirects to [[Coldwater]]. I will restore the items I deleted and make it clearer that both terms are covered. Thanks again for getting in touch. --[[User:Ken Gallager|Ken Gallager]] ([[User talk:Ken Gallager|talk]]) 12:48, 24 June 2009 (UTC) |

Thanks for your note. The disambiguation page is about the term "Coldwater", not "Cold Water". It seems trivial, but the sole purpose of a disambiguation page is to guide people to the correct page when an article has an incorrect link. My thinking is that song or book titles (if I remember correctly what I deleted) that are "Cold Water" will not be mis-linked as Coldwater and should not therefore be competing for attention on the dab page with more likely hits. If you have found articles that link to Coldwater but are meant to be "Cold Water [something]", then certainly you could restore those links.--Ken Gallager (talk) 12:40, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- Looking into it further, I see that Cold Water redirects to Coldwater. I will restore the items I deleted and make it clearer that both terms are covered. Thanks again for getting in touch. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:48, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
