Petrifaction (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnecessary disambig. Only links to a single unrelated article, which can be accomplished by a hatnote rather than a disambiguation article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:41, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Works well enough as it stands. Andrew D. (talk) 13:08, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Since there are three items (including the one on mythology), this is a valid disambiguation. Thus, it should stand. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録  02:11, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As the one on mythology is related, it does not require a disambiguation, per Wikipedia policy. Rather, it should be placed in the "See also" of the parent article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:00, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The petrifaction of characters in mythology, which has nothing to do with the petrifaction of fossils, is simply known as "petrifaction" and so is a perfectly standard dab entry. – Uanfala 10:45, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I would agree with what Uanfala said above. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録  16:56, 24 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per RileyBugz and Uanfala, and merge Petrified (disambiguation) into this one as a word form to consolidate two highly related short DABs. Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:40, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
