Two entries, neither of which are called 'Adam Brandt'. Boleyn (talk) 20:26, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Plausible typo for either of the names, so would be perfectly OK as a redirect to either. This dab page offers a choice of the two plausible targets, does no harm, and may well help readers or editors making either mistake. Any editor linking to it will be alerted to the fact by the bot which chases up links to dab pages (forgotten name for the moment), and will know to fix it. PamD 13:22, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I've ever seen a page that essentially just consisted of a See also section. I wish, in the spirit of WP:TWODABS, we could just pick one to redirect this to. Of two, Adam Bandt seems the better choice; "Brandt" is a common enough surname, whereas I don't think I've ever seen "Bandt" before. At that point, a hatnote to Adam Brand almost looks silly, though.

I really wish there were just a notable Adam Brandt we could write about. This Stanford professor is somewhat promising but may not meet WP:ACADEMIC. There's a college football player who could work if he goes pro, but that's a couple years away at best. And there's a British linguist, but he's less likely to meet ACADEMIC than the American. I'm tempted to just add a line to the effect of "Adam Brandt, a defensive end for the Southern Illinois Salukis football team, but without a mention of him there, that doesn't seem right either. --BDD (talk) 18:57, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm wary to link to list articles, but I can't find any guidelines against the entry: Adam Brandt, American football player on List of 2004 Seattle Mariners draft picks. There is also Adam R. Brandt, who appears in the references section of 2 or 3 articles, e.g.g Alberta Taciuk process, but I can't see how that could be made a valid entry.

I am tempted to propose as a rule, do not stretch similarities beyond the breaking point to justify having a disambiguation page. bd2412 T 19:21, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
