Comment A Google search shows Dummy Lake, Ontario and Dummy Lake, Manitoba. Boleyn ( talk) 12:01, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Per Boleyn comment; disambiguation pages are navigational tools for the reader to find articles. Concerning disambiguation pages, flexibility is needed. User Boleyn mentioned there are some lakes named Dummy Lake in Canada. Many thanks- RFD ( talk) 16:21, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep: a partial title match where the non-matching word is something as generic as "Big" or "Little" seems a useful title entry for a dab page. Times two. Pam D 19:06, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Partial title matching aside, there is a Dummy Lake in Ontario, a Lac Dummy in Quebec, and a Dummy Lake (now renamed Wargatie Lake) in Manitoba. I'm working on a stub for at least the Manitoba one; others potentially to follow. Squeamish Ossifrage ( talk) 13:20, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- Withdraw nomination. Two English and one French lakes are enough. Clarityfiend ( talk) 14:26, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- Snow keep: per nomination being withdrawn with !voting at 100% keep. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 03:41, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, snowball. -- Lockley ( talk) 02:43, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
