This is not a pure data modeling topic, but hopefully it's close enough.

Is there information value in keeping topics derived from Wikipedia disambiguation pages in the database?

From my point of view, they seem to be more trouble than their worth since they provide the opportunity for users to pick the disambiguation page itself instead of the correct topic. Although they might theoretically have some value in being able to trace things back to WP, I've never seen this be useful in practice.

Can we just get all the disambiguation page topics deleted in a mass purge?

Tom
