Delete because:

  1. It is a two-entry dab page. Per WP:TWODABS, it is best replaced with hatnote-based disambiguation. Blue Screen of Death is clearly the primary topic.
  2. Black Screen of Death does not fit the bill for inclusion in a dab page named "BSoD" because its lead only lists "KSoD" or "BlSoD" as alternative titles.

Actually, I could have converted this to a redirect myself but a BSoD (disambiguation) page redirects to it. Codename Lisa (talk) 19:58, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete Blue Screen of Death is the only entry which is not a partial match, and we do not list partial matches on disambiguation pages. BSoD should redirect to only valid entry, and BSoD (disambiguation) can then be speedy deleted under G8 of redirects criteria. Boleyn (talk) 07:18, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete. WP:TWODABS page with a clear primary topic. bd2412 T 14:19, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Blue Screen of Death which is clearly the primary topic; the other smacks of WP:OR, but that is not this discussion. --Bejnar (talk) 05:39, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment. Hi. I just reverted a good-faith non-admin closure by {{u|MrScorch6200}} because it falls within inappropriate closures: "The result will require action by an administrator". As I said at the top, "I could have converted this to a redirect myself but a BSoD (disambiguation) page redirects to it." Dispatching this redirect needs an admin action. In fact, that is only reason I started this topic. Normally, BADNACs should be sent to deletion review, but in this case I believe WP:SNOW applies: It simply isn't fair to make me go through three deletion discussions when one should suffice.

:Best regards,

:* Comment: I apologize for the inappropriate closure and would've re-opened it anyway. Regards, MrScorch6200 (talk | ctrb) 23:35, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
