Dab page contains three obscure slang terms and one person with this given name. I don't think there's a justification for a dab page here. Hog Farm Bacon 22:40, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete the purpose of a disambiguation page is not to list every possible usage of a term (WP:NOTDICT), it is to help users navigate between different Wikipedia articles with the same name. Since there is only one article with this name, the page serves no navigational purpose. Spicy (talk) 23:02, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, same reasoning as Spicy. Schazjmd (talk) 00:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- I've heard "phud" used for Ph.D. on a number of occasions (I have this qualification myself), also referring to a senile professor. The term may be more common in the UK. I have to admit the vagina definition is new to me, however, that and the person with the name "Phud" are only added for completeness. I'd argue I found the term on other websites (I'll add links if you wish), the term does exist and this justifies inclusion. New words appear all the time, circulating in use before becoming mainstream and this is just such an example. Do we remove "Mackem" because it's not commonly heard of outside the UK?Beefy_SAFC
- Okay, so what changes do you want me to make to have it kept?
- I'll point out I had a page on a village called "Matho" in Northern India deleted due to someone saying it was rubbish, even though I'd included a photo of said place. This is not going to into a repeat of that, an instance where I ended up being able to restore the page three months later?Beefy_SAFC —Preceding undated comment added 09:59, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
