disambig page - but since we have no articles on any Katie Jones this is unneccessary --Doc (?) 20:47, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Well a dab page of redlinks would be a keep, if any of the redlinks was even marginally notable. Unfortunately none of them appears to be, including the actress [1], so delete. Dunc|☺ 20:55, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no notability in the lot. RickK 22:58, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. katie.com and the city commissioner both meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Katie Jones has gotten a lot of press over her court battle in the US and UK including from CNN [2][3] , BBC [4], and Court TV [5] [6], not to mention the Guardian [7]and the Register [8] [9] [10]. Katie Jones the city commissioner meets Wikipedia:Biography criteria of "Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage". I tend to be a moderate inclusionist and preferred to point to relevant articles where they are or will be included—KJ of Katie.com points to katie.com and KJ the city commissioner points to Government and politics of Marshall, Texas—rather than create bios. As such Katie Jones, would be a redirect pointing to the relevant articles, since creating redirects like Katie Jones (city commissioner) would be useless, I created a disambig that directs people to the proper articles. If, it is insisted that the page link directly to biographies, I will happily comply—by creating them. As for the IMDB articles, I felt if they were on IMDB they were worthy of mention in a disambig, though not their own articles, because nonetheless people will search for them.-JCarriker 15:28, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a normal disambig page, even though it needs some serious syntactical standardization. Many others contain items that don't have links to them. Besides, the Katie Joneses could be a lot less notable. --Merovingian (t) (c) 22:08, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. "Notability" is a rather relative criterion. A wise man once said, "What might be right for you may not be right for some." Mike H 16:46, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
