No valid entries for this alleged disambiguation page, only three partial matches/adjectives and an entry whose linked article doesn't even mention the word. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:29, 19 April 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  12:19, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Retarget to Coral, which should discuss all of the topics currently on the page, if it does not already. BD2412  T 23:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Guys, not everything that looks like a partial match is a partial match. As evident from the article Coralline algae (whose topic, by the way, is unrelated to corals), the term "coralline" is used as a noun (most often in the plural) to refer to algae in this group. So that's one valid entry. Other meanings can be verified from, among others, the Oxford English Dictionary, which has two relevant pages:  and . "Corraline" can mean 'resembling coral' or 'coral in colour'. As a noun, it can further refer to the rock that coral reefs are made from (which is unrelated to Coralline rock), and (in a usage that is probably outdated now) to organisms that resemble corals, like bryozoans. – Uanfala (talk) 11:13, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep if Coralline Rock and Coralline Algae are partial matches, then what isn't a partial match with them? The words "algae" and "rock"? Some of these may be adjectives but there's nothing else to disambiguate the articles by. This is therefore helpful. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 12:48, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep A useful disambig between the rock and the algae- "between a rock and a squishy place" perhaps? :) 08:40, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
