Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Live performance

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Seems to be a consensus that following WP:DAB to the letter would be "unacceptably astonishing" and that the current state of this page is the one which improves the encyclopedia the most (by being the most helpful to readers).

Not a true disambiguation page per MOS:DAB. The only subject on this page that could be considered a title match is Live Performance. Steel1943 (talk) 23:31, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment It's a case where the topic with caps (the album Live Performance) is probably not primary topic for the uncapped "Live performance". Perhaps the "least worst" option would be a reduced version of this dab page, offering 2 entries: the album, and a link to Performance in an entry worded something like "A performance taking place in real time, as contrasted to a recorded performance". Slightly IAR but more helpful to the reader than other options. Or just leave it as is, pretty harmless. PamD 09:04, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @PamD: I had originally gone into this thinking the disambiguation page would have to be deleted (or probably redirected), but with you saying this, I'm thinking this title could be replaced with a broad-concept article, maybe? Steel1943 (talk) 15:53, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is basically a page that would be a redirect if not for having more than one possible target. I could see people typing this in, so deleting it would inconvenience people. If this was at RFD instead of AFD, I don't think anyone would !vote "delete". HotdogPi 10:59, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Although this may not meet some WP:DAB policy, deletion or redirecting to Live Performance would be unacceptably WP:ASTONISHING. Let's find a way to improve this. ~Kvng (talk) 14:18, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
