Delete

1. This page is one of the odder fork pages on a site full of them. Many of these have no relation or reason to be confused for each other. Benn (talk) 21:55, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
2. This is not how disambiguation pages work. They work for shared entities (like kite being a disambig for the bird and the triangle thing kids fly with; bunker can refer to the war time stuff or a sandy zone in golf; World 1-2 can be the second level in Super Mario Bros. or the level in Mario Party: Star Rush), not similar entities that have parts of the element there. Other disambig pages we currently have (like Ark, Information, Chemical, Vaccine, or Homicide) also aren't appropriate use of disambiguation pages. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 22:28, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
3. RationalWiki:Your mother's basement could easily be renamed to the thing it actually is (requests for user rights), instead of the stupid name it currently labours under. It's only had the current name for less than eighteen months, and was changed without discussion. Boredatwork (talk) 11:31, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

   I wouldn't object to that. —Kazitor, ^pending 22:11, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

   Maybe keep the "dumb" one to funspace. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 23:12, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

   Done. Wilder^Bicycle 13:33, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Keep

1. Eh, what's the problem? Keep. Bongolian (talk) 22:10, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
2. I fail to see why this fork is up for deletion. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 22:12, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
3. The first two seem fine. I believe the point of a lot of forks is for people typing into the search box, even if it's unlinked, and "basement" could be looking for either YMB or argumentum ad cellarium. —Kazitor, ^pending 12:05, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

   Ark, maybe, but fork pages aren't meant for similarishwords, synonyms, or phrases that have one of those words. Basement maybe should redirect to that argument because of the snark links but I don't see people searching basement to get to that page. But fork pages aren't, like a sort of thesaurus. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 17:51, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
