I propose this article be deleted and redirected to Multiplication sign#Uses. It is a fork and covers the same scope. It should be deleted according to WP:CFORK. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:20, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – strictly speaking, a disambiguation page is not content, it is a means to find content, hence WP:CFORK does not apply. Just as there can be multiple redirects to the same article, there can be multiple partially overlapping disambiguation pages, so I don't see what the problem is. In addition, the edit that restored the disambiguation page with the summaryNB this page has been created for a mediawiki enhancement concerning math hyperlinking (it is intended to be very specific) seems reasonable to me.

Delete. Multiplication sign handles this better but a redirect is not appropriate from this cumbersome and unlikely-to-be-used title. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:34, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as incomplete disambiguation and no need for redirect as an extremely unlikely search string. older ≠ wiser 00:42, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete, and no need for a redirect as unlinked so would be unused and not a plausible search term, just clutter in the search results.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 08:08, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep, but move to Multiplication sign (disambiguation) (or × (disambiguation) depending on policy for dabs) because × is a redirect to that article. Christian75 (talk) 07:22, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- but Multiplication sign already includes a disambiguating section; more properly as it's about the symbol it includes a uses section. A separate disambiguation page is just unnecessary duplication.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 11:51, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
