Or worse, you suggest that the North Carolina city is more significant because of its proximity to [[Camp Lejeune]], when the Florida city hosts a [[Naval Station Mayport\|naval base]] and an [[Naval Air Station Jacksonville\|air station]], in addition to being larger and more populous.		*:So, in the face of all this evidence suggesting that the North Dakota indeed has more significance than its Google hits reveal, why are you promoting a direct disambig page over the established article? A link to the disambig page, or if the number is small, direct links to other similar items, at the top of a main article is SOP in situations like this. Insisting that the Wisconsin lake article merits making a disambig page the main page for the subject is like saying because [[Jacksonville, North Carolina]] exists there should be a disambig at [[Jacksonville]]. Or worse, you suggest that the North Carolina city is more significant because of its proximity to [[Camp Lejeune]], when the Florida city hosts a [[Naval Station Mayport\|naval base]] and an [[Naval Air Station Jacksonville\|air station]], in addition to being larger and more populous.
	*:Finally, the point you seem to be missing in all this is that the article on the Wisconsin lake '''doesn't even exist'''. We are having this discussion on what used to be, and still is for all practical purposes, the main page for the subject "Devil's Lake". Either you are too busy arguing with me or it doesn't actually hold your interest enough to create. So basically, you are insisting that the Devil's Lake in North Dakota is on a par with nothing at all, and claiming you're acting in the interests of NPOV. Where is the rational thought process behind that? We can link to the Devil's Lake in Wisconsin right at the top of the main article. No muss, no fuss. --[[User:Alexwcovington\|Alexwcovington]] ([[User talk:Alexwcovington\|talk]]) 06:09, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)		*:Finally, the point you seem to be missing in all this is that the article on the Wisconsin lake '''doesn't even exist'''.
