Is this a valid DAB page, or just cobbling together one entry each of three similar words? –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 23:25, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I was going to suggest a redirect to Abbassia, figuring the other two aren't actually attested usages, just possible misspellings. But it does look like "Abassia", according to at least one (old and perhaps deprecated) source, may refer to Abkhazia (see Google Books). (I do see another usage, where the term refers to a prehistoric portion of the Nile, the gravel beds of which are located around present-day Abbassia: another Google Book.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is easily shown that this is a common 19th century synonym for both Abyssinia [1][2][3] and Abkhazia [4][5][6]. However, the page currently fails WP:DABRELATED as the term is mentioned on neither of those pages, leaving those entries open to being remvoved by a passing editor and the page turned into a redirect.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Looks like both Keeps are Weak Keeps and I can't tell whether you are actually recommending a Redirect here so I'm relisting this discussion.

Delete I don't think outdated 19th century usage justifies a redirect.--Madame Necker (talk) 06:31, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Spinningspark. Andre🚐 18:08, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
