If ever there was a page that does not belong in an encyclopaedia... there is not, and never has been a Northern Ireland rugby team, yet some editors insist not only on keeping this page but on adding it to categories. What is the point in e.g. adding to the category "Sports teams in Northern Ireland" a page which is not about a sports team in Northern Ireland, but about a sports team that has never existed anywhere?

This is what is called a disambiguation page. Such pages exist to help readers distinguish between multiple items sharing the sane name, or to point to alternative topics for readers searching for a particular term. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
I know what a disambiguation page is. How many should we have for things that do not exist? Do we need a page for Unicorn farms in County Londonderry, and if not why not? Brocach (talk) 21:34, 3 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
