Tarjan's algorithm → Tarjan's algorithm (disambiguation) – This article was originally a redirect to Tarjan's off-line lowest common ancestors algorithm, but has been changed to a disambiguation page by myself, since the term "Tarjan's algorithm" could possibly refer to several dozen algorithms discovered or co-discovered by Robert E. Tarjan. Several of them are more notable than others, but none could be objectively identified as "the" Tarjan's algorithm. 84.245.120.36 (talk) 11:11, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment as proposed that would make the disambiguation page WP:MALPLACED. The only case when we move "Foo" to "Foo (disambiguation)" is if a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (or redirect) will replace "Foo" at the base title. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 16:07, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I see; I suppose I have been confused by the rather lengthy article on disambiguation pages and have mistaken the case for when a primary topic does not exist for the case when it does. Request retracted. --84.245.120.36 (talk)

 * Comment. I have closed this RM per the request of the IP nominator. However, I'll observe that a disambiguation page is designed to navigate between various articles that might otherwise have the title (and therefore doesn't have references), and in this list there are 2 entries, that while useful, are not valid disambiguation page entries. I have therefore reformatted the page as an WP:SIA: "a list article about a set of items of a specific type that also share the same (or similar) name". Improvements welcome, and thanks to the IP for creating the list to resolve confusion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:28, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
