The disambiguation page only names two 'relevant' articles; however, the only truly relevant article is Iaal, Lebanon, while the other, Internet slang, never even mentions the word Iaal in the article. Therefore, this disambiguation page should be deleted as irrelevant. Lebabven (talk) 00:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment searching the term into the search box actually does pull one other term, a redirect to IANAL (which is apparently an internet term for "I am not a lawyer"). IAAL is mentioned in that article as the opposite of the phrase, i.e. "I am a lawyer". Not sure what effect this has on deletion, but the link to "internet slang" seems to be a mistake.

• Keep and delete the entry for Internet slang. I've added entry IAAL. This probably would have been better served with deleting the wrong entry and redirecting to Iaal, Lebanon and then that uncontroversially moved to Iaal. I'm glad it wasn't in this case because it has been made into a valid page. However, if anyone thinks Iaal, Lebanon is the promary topic, then a move might still be a good idea.

• Keep as valid dab page; have redirected IAAL there, as there was nowhere helpful to leave a "redirect" template on the IANAL page and otherwise people typing in caps wouldn't find the Lebanon location. PamD 11:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• We have one entry for "Iaal" and one entry for "IAAL." Because of this, we can invoke WP:SMALLDETAILS to disambiguate the two topics. Therefore, I recommend Iaal, Lebanon be renamed Iaal to satisfy WP:NCPLACE and IAAL should be redirected to IANAL and tagged as {{R from antonym}}. Then add hatnotes to the top of both pages. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:21, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  I agree. That would be the most appropriate and sensible move.--Lebabven (talk) 00:07, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
