Abysmal (album) →
Abysmal –
Abysmal currently redirects to the dab page
Abyss, but this album is the only entry there that has this title, and I don't find it likely that most readers would expect to find it there. It would be better to move this page over the redirect and add a hatnote linking to the dab instead. --

Support, per nom,
WP:NOTDICT, Jellyman and
WP:COMMONNAME, really. Anyone searching with "Abysmal" is probably seeking this page, and almost certainly not seeking anything named "Abyss", so leaving that redirect makes no sense whatsoever. --

Oppose I highly doubt that an album by an American metal band is what most people are searching for when they type in "abysmal". They're probably looking for the Wiktionary definition, which the dab page links too. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but Wiktionary is, and helping people find where they want to go is important. Abysmal is far too generic a term for COMMONNAME to apply. Disambiguation is the right way to go here because it gives the reader all of their options.

Comment The dab page doesn't link to the definition for "abysmal", and I don't think it should. It would be better to add such a link to a hatnote in this article, along with a link to the dab.--
