Agatha Christie Novel?

I don't recognise the Christie novel referred to - it certainly isn't found on Dame Agatha's own pages, either as a novel, play or short story. Unless someone knows where the reference comes from, I'd suggest deletion. Jon Rob 08:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Googling "Agatha Christie Fata Morgana" I find two used copies at Amazon.com. Both are in German. My conclusion: Fata Morgana is the German title of a Miss Marple Agatha Christie mystery. The question: what is the original title? I never delete information without making a simple double-check. --Wetman 12:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the response. A comparison of the German and English pages for Agatha Christie shows that the novel must be They Do It with Mirrors (the only 1952 Miss Marple title). I shall update this page accordingly. :-) Stelio 11:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Litfiba

Apparently there's a song by the Italian band Litfiba called Fata Morgana, but given the introductory paragraph to this article, and my lack of knowledge of either the meaning of the song or the year it was released, I won't add it. If anyone's got any information about it, though, go ahead.

A link here from the webpage for Litfiba is sensible. A link here is (?public relations) cruft. It's worth understanding the difference. --Wetman 08:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fata Morgana (band)

There is no reason to list Fata Morgana (band), which has an article (as of this post), only under the entry for the band's EP Fata Morgana, which does not. There is also no reason to list both the band and the EP in the same line. It does the reader no good to have to sort through a bunch of entries with no articles to find one that does.--Cúchullain ^t/c 12:12, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, there is no reason to list the band, which has an article, only under the entry for an EP that has no article. That just sends the reader around in circles.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I give up. Having a completely non-navigable line is contrary to MOS:DAB and more confusing than the common sense solution of listing band and EP together. I'll agree to disagree for now, but sincerely believe that in situations such as this where there's no 100% MOS:DAB-compliant solution, combining the two is the most helpful and sensible (and concise, obviously) MOS:DAB#Break rules compromise. 92.11.238.139 (talk) 14:36, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, there may be no 100% guideline-compliant solution, so the best thing is to link the article where all the information is located, right up front. It's really backwards to have the band article linked only in the entry for an EP that doesn't have an article. It's like having an entry saying: "*Geoffrey Chaucer (character), a character in The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer." Obviously the article on the author Geoffrey Chaucer is where we need to be guiding the reader.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
