Keep in mind that disambiguation pages are for navigation, not information. They are designed to get the user to the correct context of the term as quickly and easily as possible. Further explanation of this edit:

• Poc. stands for Reginald Innes Pocock, a British naturalist, in systematic species descriptions (e.g. Anoplodesmus anthracinus Poc., 1895)

Although this abbreviation is not mentioned on the target article, it probably could. I could be talked into restoring this entry.

Person of Color

As of today, the person of color article makes no indication that it is commonly abbreviated as "POC". A google search gives a single result for this usage, and that is to thefreedictionary.com. Including it on this disambiguation page violates MOS:DABACRO. Hoof Hearted (talk) 17:24, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
