* The intent of the disambig change was not to replace the search. This page simply replaces the search because every name except one has "Tracy" as the first name. The search bar covers all of those on its own now. So, '''oppose'''. -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 13:15, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |

Suggest restoration as it is now a valid disambig, but only the original page should be restored, not the other versions listed in the delete log. [[User:31dot|31dot]] 10:55, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |

* '''Oppose'''. This is the same as "Tracy" in that every name starts with "Bill", "Billy", or "William". A disambiguation page should not replace the search. One like "Picard" works because it covers last names, something that doesn't come up easily in the search. The "Carey" one works a bit better, but I still have my misgivings about that one, as it's 2 surnames (one an in-universe character), and two first names (one in-universe). -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 13:15, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |

:Yes -- first names are taken care of nicely by the search engine. "Proper" disambiguation pages differentiate between "Bob (Ensign)" and "Bob (Crewman)", whereas our extra disambig pages (such as "Picard") differentiate between things that our search engine can't cope well with (such as "Jean-Luc Picard" and "Maurice Picard"). -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 16:19, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |

Carey
I will suggest the restoration of this page, which I suggested for deletion as not being a proper disambig page. Since then, we have tinkered with the definition of a disambig page to include articles with similar, not just exactly the same, titles. I think there is a few others that I or others might have suggested like this as well; I will list them here as I find them. 31dot 22:53, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

- The intent of the disambig change was not to replace the search. This page simply replaces the search because every name except one has "Tracy" as the first name. The search bar covers all of those on its own now. So, oppose. -- sulfur 13:15, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Support, as the search function has been broken for well over a month now, and it's not like wikia has a long track record of quickly fixing problems with the basic functionality of the site, so we can't, and shouldn't, rely on the search function working now or ever. It also costs us nothing to have a disambiguation, and in cases where the number of disambiguated pages exceeds the search suggestions the page wouldn't be replacing the search function, it would be more helpful than the search function. - Archduk3 17:18, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
