Paper folding (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Not a valid disambiguation page: only one even partial match, plus a bunch of related articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:13, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep - some pages are related to paper folding in some way, like Mathematics of paper folding, about the mathematics behind paper folding, and Book folding, about industrial paper folding. - Master of Hedgehogs (converse) (hate that hedgehog!) 12:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If what you are saying is true, then the article is not a disambiguation page after all, but instead closer to a WP:SETINDEX. If that be the case, it should be named Paper folding — but that title currently redirects to Origami, as it should. Havradim leaf a message  15:57, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. It might be arguable whether some of the listed topics belong on the page, but Paper folding, Chinese paper folding, and Mathematics of paper folding all seem like valid reasons to want a disambiguation page.— Moriwen (talk) 15:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid you do not understand what a disambiguation page is for. See WP:PARTIAL. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, especially after the good work cleaning up the hatnotes at Origami. Havradim leaf a message  15:57, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Harmless as is. BD2412  T 16:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I was going to expand my rationale into something along the lines of Master of Hedgehogs' rationale about these being very different aspects of paper folding, but on reflection, I agree that even with this range, this is a broad-concept topic. I am therefore changing my !vote to: Move over Paper folding and refactor into a broad-concept article. BD2412  T 19:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep - Goodness, paper folding is an art form in some nations, as well as in hotels and upscale corporate building restrooms. It's nice to have this dab as a kind of index on the various incarnations of paper folding. — Maile (talk) 23:17, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation pages are for things named, in this case, "paper folding" and nothing else, certainly not for subjects just associated with it. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Keep, the dab has several things a person could plausibly expect to find for a search of "paper folding", most obviously Paper toys. Unhelpful to the reader to delete Mach61 19:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
