I'll be glad to see this go. ---Blackout- 14:45, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

We don't have to delete it necessarily. It's still up for discussion.--RosicrucianTalk 14:48, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
Why? It's useless. There is almost nothing here that isn't on another disambiguation page anyway. ---Blackout- 14:51, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
It's useful because someone with a fuzzy memory can think "What was that Transformer? Road something..." type it into the search field, and end up here.--RosicrucianTalk 14:57, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
Are we going to do this with every word found in Transformer names? I mean, look at "blast". —Interrobang 15:09, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
Exactly. ---Blackout- 15:13, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
And what would the problem with that be? Is this going to fill up our server space? Crash the system? Cause users to become hopelessly lost? I don't get the rampant hate-on for disambig pages like this. We should be thrilled to have collections of obscure pages linked together like this. (maybe I feel this way because I don't think each character page in question needs to be disambig'd back to this page. IMO it's enough to have the thing floating here, reachable by search page or redirect.) -- Repowers 16:29, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
In my mind, things that make our content easier to access for the casual reader are good things.--RosicrucianTalk 16:46, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
Then we need to integrate it somehow. I like Rob's idea of not disambiging everyone it points to, but it could be added to those without. Heck, a redirect from "Road" will be enough to remove it from the Orphaned pages. I'm all fine for keeping it as long as it leaves that list somehow. --Bluestreak7 17:23, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
