Disagree

[edit]
  1. Ld | talk 00:08, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  2. "Obvious" is not well defined and has been easy to abuse in the past, plus, makes no allowance for if the article is marked stub, categorized, interwiki'd, etc. Netoholic @ 00:18, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)
  3. Will lend itself to abuse in the future. Triped 00:25, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
  4. for reasons above Xtra 00:39, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  5. JRM 01:02, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)
  6. The wording is not clear; if it's something I've heard of before than anything could be obvious by the title! One could also infer a lot things from a title alone without prior knowledge. The proposal text should make it clear that this applies to places where the words of the title are reused without any other clarifying words. Text explicitly marked as stubs of this type where multiple editors have contributed significant changes should go to vote. --Sketchee 01:31, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
  7. "Obvious" is a very subjective term; what is obvious to one person may not be obvious to another. In addition I feel that this proposal could potentially lead to abuse, or allegations of abuse. Rje 01:43, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  8. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 02:11, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  9. I firmly disagree with what some people consider 'obvious'; as a term, it's inextricably linked to the prior knowledge of whoever's viewing the article. Meelar (talk) 02:26, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
  10. Adam Bishop 04:06, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  11. I agree with the above; it's too subjective. --Slowking Man 07:36, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
  12. Some of these are probably candidates for redirects/merges. iMeowbot~Mw 07:45, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  13. Just because an article is short and useless, doesn't mean that we shouldn't have an article on that topic. Bad articles want fixing, not deleting. David Johnson [T|C] 12:40, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  14. Articles like this should be marked as (sub)stub or merged. If the topic is encyclopedic, the page will get recreated eventually anyway, so what's the problem? Kelly Martin 17:40, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  15. I agree with the comment above (by user Kelly Martin). However, I disagree with the objection that the wording is subjective: if anyone disagrees with the proposal for that reason, they should provide an ambiguous example or reconsider their position. Phils 18:13, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
