Only two legitimate entries, so WP:TWODABS applies. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:23, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

• Comment. This debate is an offshoot of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serbia (disambiguation). I've located a few entries which might be included on this dab page (Slovakia during World War II, Slovak Soviet Republic and Slovak Socialist Republic), but it's questionable if they would be legitimate (I'd say "no", therefore "delete"). I left a notice at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#Historical polities in hope of a wider input. No such user (talk) 10:14, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

• Keep: Both the constituency and the sports teams are valid entries, in addition to the primary topic, so this is a worthwhile dab page. PamD 12:35, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

:*Sport teams are decisively not valid entries. Please let's not open that can of worms. Each country has up to a hundred national teams in various sports, sexes and age categories, and they have a regular naming convention in wikipedia: National team. They are explicitly discouraged by WP:PTM: {{xt|A disambiguation page is not a search index. Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion or reference. }} (bold mine).

• Comment. Slovak Republic has its own dab page: Slovak Republic (disambiguation). Clarityfiend (talk) 21:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
• Delete if new entries aren't found. Disambiguation pages are for different topics who coincidentally have the same name. It is not for subtopics, and that is all that's listed here. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:28, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

• Keep- This is one that easily gets my vote. The disambiguation page is a highly useful tool. Solvakia can be a confusing term / word for people not knowing exactly what it can stand for. And this aids in navigation as well. Did you know that there is a short 2009 film called Slovakia and an episode of TV series A Place in the Sun is called Slovakia ? There is also a TV series called A Place in Slovakia (Starman005 (talk) 06:32, 2 August 2014 (UTC))
• Comment - I forgot to add that there is some producer called Magic Seven Slovakia and an group called 3 Run Slovakia. What's the odds of a group called lovakia turning up one day ? I'd sat it would be likely. (Starman005 (talk) 06:37, 2 August 2014 (UTC))

:*Reply. Since none of these have articles or mentions in articles (and several are partial title matches), where exactly is the navigational value? Clarityfiend (talk) 07:58, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

• Delete- Unless someone can prove the value of this article I do not see a purpose or plan.--Canyouhearmenow 12:23, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
• Delete, use hatnote instead My understanding of DAB pages is that they contain all articles with the same name; thus the sports team is not a legitimate entry, nor is the Eurovision thing. The parliamentary constituency is legitimate, but it is the only one (so far); so it can be dealt with using a hatnote. If more legitimate articles crop up, recreating the page is easy. WP:TOOSOON was written with slightly different intent, but similar reasoning would apply here, I think. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:54, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
