This dab page enumerates types of circumcision (like Khitan (circumcision)) and lists articles covering one or another aspect of the topic (like Ethics of circumcision). None of these are valid entries: dab pages exist to provide navigation to article topics that may be referred to by the same term, not to list the subtopics of a single unambiguously named topic. Navigation to those subtopics should instead happen from within the main article (either in the text, or from a See also section at the end). – Uanfala ( talk) 13:50, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I am in complete agreement with Uanfala, this disambiguation page is not needed, as there are links to all relevant pages within the circumcision article. The only possible ambiguation is between FGM and Circumcision, but so long as Female Circumcision redirects to FGM I do not think this is likely to constitute a problem.

'Keep' I see a valid WP:D page that disambiguates similar topics as it should: "Ensuring that a reader who searches for a topic using a particular term can get to the information on that topic quickly and easily" Lightburst ( talk) 18:53, 16 December 2022 (UTC)- Comment I must be missing something if I am the only one thinking this dab helps our readers. So I am getting out of the way. Lightburst ( talk) 14:58, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, this is clearly not a valid dabpage. ‑‑ Neveselbert ( talk · contribs · email) 07:31, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per false advertising. This is the opposite of a disambiguation page, consisting entirely of examples and partial matches (other than the primary topic, of course). Clarityfiend ( talk) 08:18, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete this is a textbook WP:PTM violation. The point of disambiguation pages is to help navigate ambiguity; there is no apparent ambiguity here, it's just a misplaced navigation for the same set of topics (as opposed to different topics under the same name). -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 14:23, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
