#{{User|Mario}} My question: are there multiple things called "Demon" from the games? Then yes, we need a disambiguation page. But "demon" receiving a disambiguation page is like having "[[Plumber]]" receiving such a page. Disambiguation pages are supposed to help people search for the right name, not be a page that lumps all shared entities into one spot. | #{{User|Mario}} My question: are there multiple things called "Demon" from the games?

#{{User|Time Turner}} There's ''maybe'' the [[Resident Demon]] and ''maybe'' the [[Black Chest Demon]] that are worth keeping if we were to trim it, but I really don't think those two alone are really worth keeping this. | #{{User|Time Turner}} There's ''maybe'' the [[Resident Demon]] and ''maybe'' the [[Black Chest Demon]] that are worth keeping if we were to trim it, but I really don't think those two alone are really worth keeping this. | ||

#{{User|Tsunami}} Per what there's at the bottom of the page. While a dsambig is for something that have the same title (or similar, that's why I included [[Mini-Mario]] in [[Mini Mario (disambiguation)|Mini Mario disambig]]), the entries in this page doesn't even share a single letter. | #{{User|Tsunami}} Per what there's at the bottom of the page.

#{{User|'Shroom64}} Though I originally opposed (because of the small clarification at the top of the section) I see enough reason from others to move my vote over here.

#{{User|Vommack}} Having a disambig and a category with same/similar names isn't the same thing. They have two seperate functions, and having one doesn't prevent from having the other. That said, most of the things on here are demons, ''but aren't named demon.'' That's the function of a category. There are a few that do have demon in the name, so keep those. Tl;dr: Trim entries, but don't delete. | #{{User|Vommack}} Having a disambig and a category with same/similar names isn't the same thing.

::"''This is a disambiguation page — a list of '''pages that otherwise might share the same title.'''''" These pages do not share the same titles at all: this kind of disambig page misuse happens ''all the time''...

Now, one ''can'' make a case for making a general "Demon" article, like Dog or [[Dragon]] to talk about demons like [[Red]], [[Abigor]] and [[Akuman]], which don't have specific species, and are just "generic" demons, but as it is, the disambig page approach is no good. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:12, 5 September 2014 (EDT) | ||
See, now this is making enough sense. The original reason of "There's a category too" is why I opposed originally. | See, now this is making enough sense. The original reason of "There's a category too" is why I opposed originally. | ||
