This page is a list of WP:Partial title matches. Disambiguation pages that consist solely of partial title matches are effectively a (suboptimal) search index, and a disambiguation page is not a search index. This page actively inhibits Search for uses of "temporary", which is a general-purpose adjective. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:18, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are obviously hundreds of things that can begin with the word "Temporary..." This page does more harm than good in a search. --Suitskvarts (talk) 10:13, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. There was an earlier AFD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Temporary, not listed here so Soft Deletion is not possible.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 08:09, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - improper/unhelpful DAB. Just listing all articles beginning with a term is unhelpful, and none of these things are typically called just 'temporary', meaning people searching for the term are unlikely to be assisted. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 13:03, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deleteper WP:NOUN and WP:PARTIAL. There are no valid dab entries on the page. SpinningSpark 12:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
