Are any of these entries valid? edit

I haven't bothered to look at any of these entries closely yet, but at a glance none of them appear to be reasonable targets on a search for "sheet", per WP:Disambiguation#Lists. In other words, for example, if I'm looking for an article about spreadsheets I wouldn't navigate to "Sheet", I'd navigate to "Spreadsheet." My inclination (again, pending a closer look to make sure I'm not overlooking some things here that are actually referred to as just "sheet") is to cut out everything but the names.

This is how it looked when I first saw it in August. — Athaenara ✉ 03:10, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

From WP:Disambiguation#Lists:

Do not add links that merely contain part of the page title (where there is no significant risk of confusion). Only add links to articles that could use essentially the same title as the disambiguated term. Disambiguation pages are not search indices.

A list of links to every article that contains the word "sheet" in the title is exactly what dab pages are not supposed to be. The point of a dab page is to get the user to the article he's trying to get to. I went through all the links and looked for either a phrase indicating that the subject might be called just a "sheet", or for use of the word "sheet" by itself to discuss the subject within the article. I removed those for which I couldn't find such support. Propaniac (talk) 20:11, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
