Unnecessary, better handled with hatnotes on each of the entires so save reader going here when they want the other article. MB 19:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete there are other search terms with siding in the title such as Siding 16 and Siding 18, Siding, Walhalla line if we add these the disambiguation page could should remain. There is also another Siding Spring disambiguation page. Regarding this page: WP:D states: It is necessary to provide links and disambiguation pages so that readers typing in a reasonably likely topic name for more than one Wikipedia topic can quickly navigate to the article they seek. At the moment the disambiguation page is not needed since there readers will not be confused by the single term Siding. Other terms such as Aluminum siding already redirect to siding.

 * I'm wondering if the page can be expanded. Among the articles with Siding in their title, there's only Siding, Walhalla line, but the appearance that the place is called Siding may be an artefact of presentation here. Next, perusing a dictionary, I can see that siding variously refers to slope (in Australian usage), to the width of pieces of timber (in boatbuilding), a type of rail stop (in South Africa), or a place on a canal where boats can pass each other. I would assume that at least some of these things would be covered somewhere on Wikipedia. – Uanfala (talk) 20:15, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You could try expanding the list. Lightburst (talk) 21:21, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm going to nominate Siding, Walhalla line for deletion. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:50, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. At the time of this comment, this disambiguation page is not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Partial title matches are easily found using Search. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:34, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete There are only two articles being disambiguated, with hatnotes already in each (and a primary article allocated), hence I don't see why this is needed, or how anyone would even end up on this page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Why didn't I think of that first? Before doing anything else in cases like this, the question to be asked is "Is there a primary topic here?". Because if there isn't, then the dab page will have to be moved to the base title, no matter how many or how few entries it's got. The fact that a certain article happens to be occupying the base title does not always mean that it should be there. I think there's an obvious absence of a primary topic here, and I've started a discussion at Talk:Siding. – Uanfala (talk) 17:28, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep and move the disambiguation page to the base name (per the move request). -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
