The result was keep. The original concern (that this was a DAB with one entry) has been addressed with the creation of Faculty of Occupational Medicine (Ireland). If editors think that article should be deleted or merged, it would need to be discussed in a separate AfD. – Joe (talk) 13:05, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Not sure if this is the correct place for a Disambiguation page, but the page originally was an article for the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (United Kingdom), which was moved to create this disambiguation page. However, the other article in the disambiguation hasn't been created, so I would assume that the move is erroneous. I'd recommend moving the original back to this page, and deleting the DAB page.
If the Irish one does get created, then a DAB page may well be warranted, or, the current article could be expanded to mention the Irish one as well. Lee Vilenski(talk) 10:24, 21 December 2017 (UTC) Lee Vilenski(talk) 10:24, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. If there is only one article, there is nothing to disambiguate. I would note, however, that "Faculty of" titles generally redirect to general articles on the study of the subject matter, or to Faculty (division). Faculty of Business redirects to Business education, Faculty of Medicine redirects to Medical school, Faculty of fine arts redirects to Fine art#Academic study. Meanwhile, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Arts, and Faculty of Humanities all redirect to Faculty (division). bd2412 T 14:36, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Delete -Generally a DAB page should not even be created before creating all pages to be disambiguated.–Ammarpad (talk) 15:59, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep , changed to keep since new article is created to fill the DAB page. But still believe the created page Faculty of Occupational Medicine (Ireland) may not meet notability guideline, as it is created only for the sake of DAB page – Ammarpad | Talk 07:24, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep: have created a redirect for Faculty of Occupational Medicine (Ireland) for now, and am convinced by this that as the "national professional and training body for Occupational Medicine in Ireland" it merits an entry, justifying the dab page. PamD 11:07, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
- Would it not make more sense to have the page redirect to the full article on the United Kingdom, and leave a "For Irish see:" simply because this is only a small section against a full article Lee Vilenski(talk) 12:17, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
- You only created the redirect for the sake of it not for any guideline-based reason of WP:DAB. Disambiguation is not default. Its need is not created by creating one random redirect to section of an article which doesn't contain any information about the redirect. DAB is created when there's need for it not reverse of the case. So it should still be deleted. –Ammarpad (talk) 12:24, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep: I have now created a separate page for the Irish faculty. Just for transparency, I created this DAB page originally. --Kwekubo (talk) 20:41, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep now there are 2 valid articles Atlantic306 (talk) 14:20, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete and add 'for Irish see:' on UK page, as I am unconvinced Faculty of Occupational Medicine (Ireland) should have its own article and should instead be merged into Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. PriceDL (talk) 20:58, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
