WP:DICTDEF, this is just another word for treatise as the article admits, it should either be redirected there or deleted, and it does not seem like a useful redirect so I believe it should be deleted. This article was previously deleted in 2005 and then recreated. - car chasm (talk) 19:08, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to dab page. The word "tractate" has a specific meaning in reference to the Talmud; I imagine most people who type "tractate" into the search bar (note that the article averages 800 visitors p/m) are looking for the article Masekhet. But that isn't the only meaning of the term, so a straight redirect to that title wouldn't be appropriate. Per WP:NOPRIMARY, I think tractate could be a two-item dab page linking to treatise and masekhet, as well as retaining the current "see also" links. This would be of more service to our readers than deletion. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 05:48, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteThe article is redundant with the linked article treatise. Adler3 (talk) 00:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate per Sojourner in the earth. Although it does effectively mean a treatise, the point that them make is very valid. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 07:45, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
