Should this be a DAB page edit

(the following copied from WT:Disambiguation#Third industrial revolution)

I'm looking for some opinions on what to do with this DAB page. It was originally a redirect to Digital Revolution. Then it was made into a DAB when a book by that name was added. The only link to it is from 3D printing, which adds another wrinkle.

I don't see anything in Digital Revolution that talks about it being a Third Industrial Revolution. I don't think the original redirect should have been created and I should remove it entirely - leaving a one item DAB page which would need to be deleted.

3D Printing says 3D printing is the third industrial revolution. That needs to be unlinked. I could put 3D printing in the DAB page and keep it as a two-item DAB. MB 06:10, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

MB, I would redirect the page to the book, after unlinking the 3D printing reference. The original redirect was made because for four years, Digital Revolution began: The Digital Revolution, also sometimes called the third industrial revolution, is.... There are a few different mentions of "Third industrial revolution" on Wikipedia, including two other books, but Rifkin's book dominates the search. The others are only passing mentions, nowhere near article status. — Gorthian (talk) 07:44, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
