Payphone (disambiguation)

I think there's no need to create a disambiguation page for payphone and the red telephone box and payphone are both the same but different name for the British and American, respectively. j3j3j3 ...pfH0wHz 03:01, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete DAB seemed to be created for the Maroon 5 song alone, when a hatnote in the main payphone article certainly suffices, as is currently done, and RTB is currently linked in payphone article. Not needed, just an extra layer of unneeded disambiguation. Nate • (chatter) 06:34, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Nate. The Maroon 5 song can be hatnoted. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 07:09, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These are not different names for British and American payphones. "Red telephone box" refers to a structure usually found in the UK that may contain a payphone (but many payphones are not in red boxes, and some, such as those in shopping centres, are not in boxes at all).
