Talk:Romeo (disambiguation)

message: In cases like this, where there is one clear meaning that 99% of Wikipedia readers are looking for, a Romeo (disambiguation) page should carry this present information, while Romeo should redirect to Romeo and Juliet. Just my opinion. --Wetman 07:33, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is this correct? I never seen the play but as far as I understand, Romeo loves only Juliet - so dearly in fact that he dies for her. I think you might be mistaking Romeo with Casanova? --213.237.94.61 03:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: As far as the anthroponymy project is concerned, I've never see it used on any similar disambiguation page (i.e. with links to surname and given name lists), and I've worked on hundreds of them.
Regarding Shakespeare, you, User:Xover, seem to be the only one who seems to think it appropriate in these situations. You've added the same project to other dab pages (Juliet (disambiguation), Shakespeare (disambiguation)), but no one has followed your example as far as I can see. See Hamlet (disambiguation), Othello (disambiguation), Iago (disambiguation), Shylock (disambiguation), The Merchant of Venice (disambiguation), etc.
I also don't know that Juliet is the primary topic, but that's another can of worms. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:01, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: On the anthroponymy project banner I have no strong opinions, so you would need to check with that project on whether they consider dabs in scope. For WP:BARD, I'm pretty much the only one active in tagging and rating for the project, so it's no great surprise that the dabs within the project scope were tagged by me (you'll find the same to be the case for most of the regular articles as well). And what is within the scope for a given project is up to that project: unlike things like WP:MOS, WP:MEDRS, or WP:N, there are no global concerns or policies that take priority of the project's local consensus. Case in point, WP:WikiProject Disambiguation and WP:WikiProject Redirect are just WikiProjects like any other, but have defined their scope to include dabs and redirects. WP:BARD also tags categories and files that are of relevance to Wikipedia's coverage of Shakespeare, and the Wikiproject banner system explicitly supports  values for all these types of pages. --Xover (talk) 10:06, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Wherefore are thou Romeo's project? None of the entries (not sure about the songs) seems to have a direct connection to Shakespeare or the character. Stratford-upon-Avon should, but doesn't. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:05, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that was more obvious when the tag was first placed: at the time the dab was at "Romeo" and the article at "Romeo Montague" (iirc). WP:BARD cares not so much about the content (as you say, most isn't currently related) of the dab as about the name of the (dab) article. Let's say, for example, that someone starts a move discussion on the dab (wanting to swap dab and character article): that's something the project will want to know about, and, conversely, that's something the project can help out with if Shakespeare expertise is needed. With the Wikiproject banner on there it's clear for other editors in either of those situations. --Xover (talk) 08:23, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
