This is new to me - a page that disambiguates phonetically. But I can't see the point of it - articles are not referenced phonetically; disambiguation pages exist to disambiguate clashes in written form. In any case, the three similar sounding words - carat, caret and carrot - all have disambiguation pages, and they all already reference each other. Nothing links to this new page, nor is there any conceivable way it would. RichardOSmith (talk) 21:24, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Note that the page is at /ˈkærət/ (disambiguation); it's peculiar form is making it difficult to link to. However, attempts to rename it failed because the names were on the title blacklist. RichardOSmith (talk) 21:31, 4 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The normal dab pages all link to each other (well two were linked to Carrot, but are now linked to Carrot (disambiguation)). If you can figure out how to type this in, chances are pretty good you already know the information anyway. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:13, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete useless, and just silly, who would type a phonetic descriptiuon in the search window? Kraxler (talk) 00:58, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe someone who heard it? Siuenti (talk) 06:39, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You mean, heard it and converted it into a correct phonetic description and found the keys (Alt+... sequence) to type it in? Like Johann Sebastian Bach who heard a piece of polyphonic music and then off-hand wrote up perfectly the whole score for all instruments by memory? Hmmm...

 * If I were doing it, I'd find IPA for English and copy/paste from there. Siuenti (talk) 14:49, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * This articles belongs in /ˌwɪkɨˈpiːdiə/, not here. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:38, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
