A disambiguation page consisting of almost all WP:partial title matches, and the sole seemingly legitimate entry, Retention (news server), just refers to the standard meaning of the word in a particular situation. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:16, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

●Speedy Keep- This page has existed since 2002, it is a required page because Retention is a general term & applies to many things, the articles listed here either include retention in the name and/or are about certain types of retention. PaulGamerBoy360 (talk) 15:22, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – there are multiple valid links here. Recall (memory), Customer retention, and Employee retention are all known simply as "retention" in some contexts. I'm not familiar with all of the other topics listed, but it's possible some of them are too. It would probably be worth cutting down the page and maybe collecting some of these topics together into broad-concept articles (it seems to me Customer retention, University student retention, and Employee retention are all special cases of the same broad concept), but there's enough to merit a disambiguation page. —Mx.

Keep in agreement with above, also "retention" is frequently used for the concept covered in the Retainage article. BobKilcoyne (talk) 17:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
