I have changed this page to redirect to Jeanne Phillips instead of Pauline, as Jeanne is the one currently using the pseudonym. Would a disambiguation page have been more appropriate? It would seem like overkill to me, as Pauline is referenced on the Jeanne Phillips page. --Krychek 21:42, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- With such small articles on either, a disambiguation page seems a little much. What would be preferred to me would be a separate page for 'Abigail Van Buren' that concentrates on the pen name and its history separately from the life stories of the two women who have used it. (i.e. keep the 'professional' aspects on the Abby page, put the personal aspects on separate Jeanne and Pauline pages, with links at the top of the Abby page. But, there's so little information now, that would be total overkill at present. Ehurtley 22:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
I started an article on the pen name 'Abigail Van Buren' and its history. There are separate "Pauline" and "Jeanne" pages now, as well as a separate "Dear Abby" page. There is such little information that it seems excessive to have so many pages, especially considering the fact that they all link to each other, but I think the "Dear Abby" and "Abigail Van Buren" articles could probably be expanded, at least so they would be worth keeping. I am very interested in the input and ideas of other Wikipedians on this.
