Softcam (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Ordinary, orphan, WP:2DABS page where disambiguation is not required. De-PRODed by Patar knight who added See also entries (but it's still a 2DABS page). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:38, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, no longer 2DABs. In any case, a useful "see also" section would be enough reason to keep. Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:45, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Noting that there are multiple "soft cam"/"soft CAM" terms that can be discovered through a Google search. These include, but are not limited to: an issue with the V8 engine and crankshafts,  an application of the Prusik knot,  a mapping application,  a version of Content-Addressable Memory). Most of these could be added to the page with some work on their respective articles. It's pretty reasonable that this page could be expanded even beyond the four entries currently there.

 * Delete. The added entry is okay, but the second one isn't mentioned in the linked article, so we're still at two, with an obvious primary topic. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:31, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:TWODABS with a clear PT. The See also item is reaching. A hatnote is better, ✅, left as orphan. Widefox ; talk 00:13, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
