I'm leaning more towards BLAR than straight deletion, but this isn't a useful DAB page. All entries are PTMs except for Procedural (genre) (which is just a redirect to Procedural drama). It would make more sense for this title to redirect there rather than the current situation. — Anonymous 17:23, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. There's no policy based argument to get rid of this; see WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Bearian (talk) 05:00, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Bearian, I beg your pardon? The policy being cited here is clearly WP:PARTIAL because, as I said, this DAB page only has one entry that isn't a PTM. Given that this is the only entry that actually belongs here in accordance with WP:PARTIAL, that would mean that this would no longer disambiguate anything if superfluous entries were removed. Therefore, if not deleted, it should at least redirect to the one thing actually simply known as "procedural". I'd also like some kind of explanation as to how you concluded that my deletion was based purely on personal prejudice (?) from my nomination. — Anonymous 12:45, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying your position. Every nomination should clearly link to the policy or essay being invoked. Otherwise, one only states a personal like or dislike. Bearian (talk) 20:19, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• redirect to Procedural drama which is the only exact match. Google generates enough bad GHits these days without us trying to encourage that. Mangoe (talk) 14:22, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Procedural drama per Mangoe, the only thing on the list which is clearly called a "procedural" as an unmodified noun. BD2412 T 17:39, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Procedural drama as the only article known by the title alone. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:47, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
