Adding "CDC: Cloud Data Center"

[edit]

I add the following discussion to prevent a "revert war" on this page!

Unfortunately "GB fan" insists on inhibiting my new entry "CDC: Cloud Data Center" due to its red link. As it could be seen in history, [s]he asserts that: "All entries on disambiguation pages must include a blue link where someone can find information no red link only entries". But I think: "Adding Red Links is a motivator for completing the article/page. It's better to help to create new article about Cloud Data Centers instead of removing the new entry".

On the other hand, on the 1st paragraph of page Wikipedia:Red link we see: "It is useful while editing articles to add a red link to indicate that a page will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable. A study conducted in 2008 showed that red links helped Wikipedia grow.[1] Follow-up work on this indicated that the creation of red links prevents new pages from being orphaned from the start.[2]"

What's your idea? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjdtjm (talkcontribs) 13:47, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mjdtjm: Views have evolved over the past decade. It's generally preferred to have the article in place before adding the title to disambiguation pages. See WP:Write the article first. —C.Fred (talk) 13:53, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The manual of style for diambiguation pages, MOS:DAB, states that every entry must have exactly one blue link and that article must provide information about what we are diambiguating, in this case CDC. I have searched to find an article that we can link to that discusses cloud data centers but have come up empty. If there is a page that discusses them that I have not found then we can create an entry but until we do or someone creates an article it does not belong on this page. ~ GB fan 21:43, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move & rename

[edit]

(US Fed'l) "Ctrs for Dis Ctrl" (primary topic) should be target of Rdr CDC, and should in turn have a Rdr'n hatnote to the accompanying "(Dab'n)"-suffixed prcd'g Dab page. (Check to see if this existing talk pg might need to be broken up, or just renamed in A different direction from the accompanying main-namespace page: if you can open several windows on the same screen, you can easily work this out better than my addled senior brain and single-window iPad II can.)

CDCCDC (disambiguation) – CDC should redirect to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is the primary topic. Ninety-one percent of outgoing page views are for the U.S. federal agency.
