Note: I just noticed that the page actually existed as a redirect to The Humdinger for three years before it was made into a dictionary entry. One possibility is to restore the page back to a redirect. --Jprg1966 (talk) 18:02, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Delete and possible redirect A straightforward dictionary entry. Redirect to The Humdinger or the Wiktionary definition - it's a possible search term and should point the user somewhere useful. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:58, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Change back to redirect. As it stands now, this is nothing more than a dictionary definition. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 20:55, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Convert to dab page: as well as The Humdinger there's also a notable-looking album Humdinger by Enda Scahill, which needs to be linked from a dab page or hatnote. And another album by The Brock McGuire Band, and one by Aaron Neville. Seems scope for a dab page. PamD 23:22, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- Have added entries for three albums to the page: to convert it to a well-formatted dab page all that would now be needed would be to remove the dictionary entry and its references. If the page is preserved as "primary usage" of the word, then a dab page with these entries is needed. PamD 20:45, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with PamD that there is sufficient in-encyclopedia content for a disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 11:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
