"Stationary" is just another adjective. This page is not a valid disambiguation page: it's full of WP:Partial title matches and doesn't list articles that might otherwise be known as "Stationary". A {{wiktionary redirect}} might be appropriate as an alternative to deletion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:47, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as least-worst option. It is generally considered reasonable to create a redirect to link from a song to an album track listing. So there needs to be something to connect "Stationary" to Copacetic (Knuckle Puck album). It would be less-than-ideal to have this general adjective and common mis-spelling linking to an obscure-looking album. So on balance the reader is better served by a slightly WP:IAR dab page which has a few Partial Title Matches, a useful reminder about the possible spelling error, a Wiktionary link, "Look from" and "In title" links, and that song title. Leave it be. PamD 10:08, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts I've trimmed the page to remove the PTMs: I think the song and the spelling justify the existence of the dab, and the "Look from" link leads to all the many PTMs including those which weren't listed in the dab page (Stationary orbit, Stationary engineer etc).

• Keep as currently exists after the clean-up. There's a few partial title matches that maybe should be included but the search links are really sufficient in general. Skynxnex (talk) 20:34, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
