Introduction paragraph[edit]

I think the term 'showdown', when referring to the final battle between two nemeses, must have originated as a Poker term — it's when you show your cards, to see who wins, which is conceptually very similar to the more general meaning of the term. So, if a Poker showdown is the original form of the term, this should be mentioned in the beginning paragraph on this disambiguation page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.218.157 (talk) 22:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Songs[edit]

There are two relevant guidelines here: 1) The notability criteria for songs, which points out that "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article." None of the listed songs without articles were released as singles and are unlikely to merit separate articles, so there is no reason to create redlinks for them. 2) The redlink guideline in the manual of style for disambiguation pages, which says that "A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should only be included on a disambiguation page when an article (not just disambiguation pages) also includes that red link." None of these songs are redlinked elsewhere, so they should not be redlinked on the dab page. Also, I removed the Dr. Dre song entirely because it is not supported by the linked article.--ShelfSkewed Talk 15:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
