This is not an ambiguous topic, and this page is not at all formatted as a disambiguation page. It is, rather, merely a list of instances of conduct that could be characterized as mutilation of the genitals. BD2412 T 19:19, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because, as the nominator says, this is not a disambiguation page, but is more or less a heading summary of the main article Genital modification and mutilation. Sionk (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The above arguments seem reasonable to me. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 00:44, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Revert to Special:Permalink/555992761, the last good version from 20 May 2013. This was first written as a dab page by SlimVirgin in 2011, but in 2013 revised to its current state by Ranze, a now blocked editor. It always helps to look at the history of these things.

- That is still not a proper disambiguation page, which would be a list of unrelated topics that happen to share an identical title, like Mercury (planet), Mercury (element), and Mercury (mythology). BD2412 T 02:07, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Delete. You are right. I was confused since dab pages are often for things that have names related by a common origin but are unrelated topics. And double delete because on examination this is caught up in a controversy about mutilation versus plastic surgery on older women. I suppose one could argue that a face lift is "facial mutilation".
