 * Delete or Redirect to Right to repair, since that is the main article on this topic. Also courtesy ping for who proposed merge in October 2021. Anton.bersh (talk) 10:29, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. It was created as a redirect from Right to Repair to Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act, before there was a right to repair article, but was made into a disambiguation page, possibly based on a misunderstanding at first but later expanded with other entries. All are subtopics or legislation related to this concept, and are linked in the article, with the exception of the entry linking to Consumer Rights Act 2015, but I don't think that is known as "right to repair".

 * Delete per A865. Femke (talk) 16:48, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

 * On 24 July 2021‎ begins drafting a new broad-concept article. Note this user has disclosed that they are in the business of refurbishing consumer electronics.
 * On 29 September 2021 Fthobe moved their draft to Draft:Right to Repair
 * On 1 October 2021 moved Right to Repair to Right to Repair (disambiguation) over redirect (Preparation for introducing the Right to Repair main article as bespoken in the tea house)
 * On 1 October 2021 moved Draft:Right to Repair to Draft:Right to repair without leaving a redirect (move to correct capitalisation)
 * The Ngram interestingly shows history back to 1800, with the proper name only approaching the usage of the generic term around the time of the introduction of legislative bills in the 2000's
 * 2 October 2021 moved Draft:Right to repair to Right to repair – a round-robin move, leaving the old Right to repair at Draft:Right to repair; a normal administrative move would have deleted that page history.
 * As of 1 October 2021, Right to Repair was malplaced; which was reported at Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages 4 October 2021
 * Due to a shortage of admins working that queue, it sat there until 17 October 2021 when I retargeted Right to Repair to Right to repair as an R from other capitalization, and ...
 * added an { {other uses}} hatnote to the new primary topic, and ...
 * Moved Right to Repair (disambiguation) to Right to repair (disambiguation)
 * Alas, within the same minute I moved the dab (@ 20:39), my hatnote was reverted! My punishment for doing operations two minutes out-of-order I suppose.
 * And then I proposed the merge. Sorry I dropped the ball on that; too many balls to juggle – thanks for the ping. – wbm1058 (talk) 20:47, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
