No need for this dab page, per WP:ONEOTHER. Users can hardly know of its existence since it is not even hatnoted atop Patricia Quinn, where the hatnote only states, "For the American scientist, see Patricia Quinn (atmospheric chemist). For similar names, see Pat Quinn (disambiguation)." If preferred, instead of deletion, Patricia Quinn (disambiguation) can simply exist as a redirect to the Pat Quinn dab page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:46, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Question - When I started this DAB page there were three people named Patricia Quinn (Patricia Quinn (Northern Irish actress) , Patricia Quinn (American actress), and Patricia Quinn (scientist)). It looks like this was changed about a week ago and the set of names has changed. Was there a reason for this? Or can we shift the page back to its prior state?

• Comment It was decided that the British/Irish actress was the primary topic, and the American actress would be better called "Pat Quinn". So this page might be unnecessary, but we do have the two "see also" entries. PatGallacher (talk) 18:35, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm leaning towards the view that these "see also" entries are not enough to justify having this page. PatGallacher (talk) 18:45, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't really have strong feelings either way, but I am still a little confused. What happened to Patricia Quinn (American actress)? She was lost entirely. DaffodilOcean (talk) 18:57, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Oh wait - I see, the American actress is now Pat Quinn, under the see also. DaffodilOcean (talk) 18:58, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. There is no reason to exclude Patricia Quinn (American actress) from this page, merely because the subject also fits on another page. "Pat" is her common name, "Patricia" is her given name. BD2412 T 19:42, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Pat Quinn (American actress)'s name is Patricia (and the IMDB entry is in that name [1]): there are three entries on the page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I did a little digging at newspapers.com and discovered that Patricia Quinn the American actress wanted to be called Patricia, but the producer of her first hit movie didn't like the name and insisted she be called Pat. To me that's enough reason to keep all three names listed on a dab page.^[1] DaffodilOcean (talk) 02:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep several valid entries. Boleyn (talk) 17:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
