Not a dab
[edit]Forget the wording, this doesn't look like a dab or an WP:SIA due to being topic based rather than strict article name (excluding WP:PTMs). It looks like either a list or a WP:DABCONCEPT which needs converting. Ping User:SlimVirgin User:Blaylockjam10 User:Just Chilling User:Blethering Scot User:Triggerhippie4. I'm guessing it's high traffic, so suggest consensus here before major changes: (I notified project here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Paris attacks) Widefox; talk 11:48, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Agreed, this is not a valid dab page, same as 2015 France attacks. The perceived ambiguity derives from how we title the articles in the first place; none of them are truly ambiguous, nor would any of them ever be referred to as "Paris attacks". —Xezbeth (talk) 14:01, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- I personally have no strong opinion whatsoever on this. I would say however in my mind France attacks or Paris attacks are valid search terms for the subject of these articles, although whether a DAB is necessary is more debatable..Blethering Scot 17:48, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)But it is a valid and entirely plausible search term. When I wanted the page on the latest incidents I searched 'Paris attacks' expecting it to lead eventually to the correct page - it didn't. Our naming is somewhat esoteric and I am sure many people would also search like this. We need to make sure that our guidelines don't get in the way of readers getting quickly and easily to the information they seek. I don't mind what solution we adopt provided we don't lose 'Paris attack' and 'Paris attacks' as search terms that lead somewhere useful. Just Chilling (talk) 17:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Having ruminated on this, one possible solution would be to redirect them all to List of terrorist incidents in France with 2015 specific ones section-targeted to the '21st century' section. Just Chilling (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- Agree with redirect, may need a hatnote at target for the recent event. Widefox; talk 19:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
