Lakes (disambiguation)

There are a number of articles named Lakes, which require disambiguation. There are two options to do that:

Include them in Lake (disambiguation)
Have an article Lakes (disambiguation)

Examples for both concepts are common in the English wikipedia:

In the case of lakes, the majority of articles do not refer to a body of water:

Lakes (band), American indie rock band
Lakes (restaurant), a former Michelin starred restaurant in the Netherlands
The Sinixt or Lakes tribe, Native Americans in Washington state and the Kootenay region of British Columbia
Lakes (state), one of the ten states of South Sudan
Lakes, Alaska, a place near Anchorage
Lakes, Cumbria, a civil parish
Arthur Lakes

Therefore I suggest to turn Lakes (disambiguation), which currently redirects to Lake (disambiguation) into a disambiguation page. Inwind (talk) 07:35, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You both seem to have missed the point that, up to now, Lakes (disambiguation) has been a redirect to Lake (disambiguation), which is already a disambiguation page. It has not been redirected to an article about bodies of water. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 02:44, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
