OPA co. ltd. edit

please stop deleting the OPA co. ltd. entry, it is an important corporation that should appear on this disambiguation page. OPA is a major clothing retail chain in Japan that has shops in every major city [[1]]. The shops are part of the japanese retail landscape and the "OPA" signs clearly stand out for foreigners since their are written in western language. People that want to know what OPA means (oriental park avenue) can find the meaning of the acronym on this page. I myself had to search for it, and since I didn't find it on wikipedia I added the entry. It is frustrating to see people that don't care for the knowledge being gathered on wikipedia constantly delete it. Shocklord (talk) 19:19, 21 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

There is no article to be disambiguated on the English wikipedia. Disambiguation pages are not guides to acronyms. If the retailer is notable, write the article first (or at the very least provide some verifiable content in a section of some other article). olderwiser 19:35, 21 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
done: (OPA co. ltd.). Satisfied now? It is incomprehensible to me why some people always want to block knowledge from spreading. Shocklord (talk) 09:58, 27 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
The reason is extremely simple -- disambiguation pages are navigational aides to help users to find existing information in the encyclopedia -- they are not the place to introduce material that is not covered in the encyclopedia. No one (and I repeat, no one) was blocking knowledge -- as you found out, you were free to create the article about the subject. olderwiser 10:58, 27 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
