The result was delete. While the !vote totals are even, none of the keep voters adequately refute the argument that this disambiguation page is comprised of partial matches, in conflict with WP:PARTIAL. ‑Scottywong | yak _ 17:47, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep The current version seems reasonable. Otherwise, we might redirect to hardness (which is where softness redirects to too).  Deletion is neither necessary nor appropriate. Andrew D. (talk) 17:56, 20 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Move to "Hard and soft (disambiguation)", a slightly more appropriate title IMO. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 18:46, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
 * a disambiguation page is at the base name if there is no primary topic. The page "Hard and soft (disambiguation)" could not exist without an article at "Hard and soft". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:35, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we could retarget "Hard and soft" to "Hardness" and make a "Hard and soft (disambiguation)" page, but that might seem like more work than warranted. In the absence of that I say keep per all. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 16:52, 27 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Valid dab page. Could add Hardness as SA. Pam  D  08:25, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. A textbook example of partial title matches. Even the seemingly legit entry Hard and soft (martial arts) should be moved to Hard and soft technique. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Now done. Nothing here is simply known as "hard" and "soft". –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 20:05, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
