Duo

This page was listed to be Moved to Wiktionary as it is merely a dictionary definition. Now it's marked as a disambiguation except that it's just disambiguating between two dicdefs and PowerBook Duo. A disambiguation page should not be disambiguating definitions, but rather should be pointing to articles that would naturally have the same name. The only way I can see that this page warrants keeping is if it is redirected to PowerBook Duo. Also, Wiktionary already has independently created articles Wiktionary:Duo and Wiktionary:Duo-.

• How come this is the only one of the numerical prefix articles being put on Vfd?? Well, because most of the numerical prefix articles are stubs, a probable future of them would be to merge the info and re-direct it to the number article itself; that is to re-direct this article to 2 (number).

  • Because no-one has got around to the others, yet. Most of the articles in Category:Numerical prefixes are dictionary entries duplicating Wiktionary articles in Wiktionary:Category:English prefixes. And Wiktionary simply does a far better job of these things. Wiktionary knows that the prefix is actually Wiktionary:hecto- and not hecta- as Wikipedia has it, for example. Wiktionary also has etymologies, translations, and better word lists for these prefixes. Latin numerical prefixes and Greek numerical prefixes should (at the very least) be lists of interwiki links to the Wiktionary articles. Uncle G 11:47, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)
• A comment from Wikipedia:Things to be moved to Wiktionary that agrees with Kevin Rector:
  • Duo Should be made to a redirect to the PowerBook Duo page when it's freed up. —Simetrical (talk) 23:15, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• I'm tempted to agree. Uncle G 11:47, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)
• If Wikt already has it, why don't we just do that now? Radiant_* 19:16, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• A lot of pages link here, most of these would best be served by a link to list of famous pairs, list of entertainer pairs, or list of pairs of colleagues. I think the best option is a disambig that includes these lists as well as the other meanings.
