Talk:TBD

Repairing incoming links

Repairing 92 incoming links to this dab page, I find all (?) are used in the sense of "to be determined". That sense does not merit a link, so I have unlinked these uses. --Una Smith (talk) 16:44, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Article possibility

Frankly, I don't see why we can't create a serviceable article on the history and significance of the phrases, "To be determined" and "To be announced", possibly relating some of their historic equivalents and comparable phrases in other languages, and redirect "TBA" and "TBD" there. We have a proto-article at n/a, which could be expanded along similar historic and interlingual lines. bd2412 T 04:57, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

TBD → TBD (disambiguation)TBD (disambiguation) – and redirect TBD to To be announced as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Article TBD attracts a large number of erroneous incoming links because "TBD"'s most popular use is an abbreviation for "to be decided" or "to be determined".

• Weak support per nom: Although primary topic meanings of TLAs are rare, I think this is one of them. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
• Support per nom rational. cookie monster 755 22:16, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
• Weak oppose I'm not seeing a clear primary topic, To be determined has 3,672 views but TBD (TV network) has 2,207 though its name is from "to be determined" but Triazabicyclodecene has 527 and Three Bridges railway station has 480[]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:06, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose I'm also not seeing a clear primary topic In ictu oculi (talk) 09:40, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose Per WP:NOTDICTIONARY, it is the responsibility of people to link articles properly. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:57, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. The fact that some meaning of a term is the most common one in everyday English doesn't necessarily translate into it being the primary topic here, especially if that topic has marginal encyclopedicity. Still, it may be a good idea to keep an eye on the usage statistics: Wikinav should hopefully soon get updated with the data for August , and then we can see if any of the links on the dab page gets a big majority of the clicks (we can't use the currently available data for July or earlier, because then the dab page was not at the primary title: it only got moved there on 1 Aug).

TBD → TBD (disambiguation)TBD (disambiguation) – and redirect TBD to To be announced - by the "principle of least astonishment": WikiNav research tool (see the very bottom) shows that after hitting TBD the vast majority outgoing views are to To be announced (105), with runner-ups Roar (TV network) (29) and Douglas TBD Devastator (28) nowhere near. --Altenmann >talk 23:13, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose The TBD Devastator is not a WP:PTM and is also known simply as the TBD. There is no obvious primary topic here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:49, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose: I dont thank thank the "(disambiguation)" is needed since it may fail WP:PTM ~ŤheŴubṂachine-840≈ ● ✒️ 09:25, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
