Delete per
WP:RFD#D5 because this is a nonsensical way to disambiguate, especially since it leads to a dab that doesn't include any entries involving the word "example." --

Comment - The reason that this exists is because
Byword exists. It's clunky because
Byword itself
is up for deletion. This can't be resolved until that other, earlier case is resolved. I don't like that '
Byword (example)' exists, but the reason it's there is because of ab ambiguity of the term to begin with and the existence of the first disambiguation page to begin with.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The previous RfD has been resolved, though I'm not sure it sheds any particular light on this discussion.

Delete - confusing, nonsense disambiguation. Respectfully, I don't understand CoffeeWithMarkets' explanation of this at all. I don't think this needed to wait on the other RfD but I didn't see it before.

Keep as this title is being used at
IMDb, so some readers may search the film by this title. --

comment. Whether it was ambiguous in the past is irrelevant, what matters is whether it is a plausible search term for a single Wikipedia page now.

Comment: ... Meaning that if this redirect is kept, it could be a redirect that requires constant maintenance (such as the "Next ... election" redirects). I'm not a fan of these because these constantly require attention to ensure they are updated.

You mean like hundreds of thousands (at least) of articles uncontroversially do?

I never said I advocate for their deletion, because I don't nor have the desire to do so. I am quite aware of what you just stated, but I still have my opinion.

Delete per nominator, because of the subpage issue. Otherwise it's probably harmless.

Nominating these three redirects for deletion because Penn State has two law schools,
Penn State Law and
Dickinson Law, both of which share the name of the Penn State Dickinson Schools of Law, so a user could be trying to find Penn State Law, but is redirected to the other school. — Preceding

Keep - according to the lede at
Penn State Law, the two schools became fully separate in 2014; subsequently "Dickinson" unambiguously refers to
Pennsylvania State University - Dickinson Law. I don't think there's any ambiguity in these redirects; hatnotes already solve any confusion.

Keep. I've never heard of it, but then I don't know which school of law
Judge Judy graduated from. Makes sense to me to keep this.

We do have to be a bit careful with
WP:ENGVAR cos in the Unied Kingom, to graduate means to get a three or four year course from a university, and in America I believe it just means you left
high school without totally cocking it up. But I don't think that comes into play here. On BBC on Sunday they have a play for
The Go-Between, and I cannot remember the name of the author, I think John someone. Of course I could look it up but am desperately trying not to, trying to remember. The past is another country, they do things differently there.

L. P. Hartley. Totally wrong as usual, then, I was thinking of
J. R. Hartley. That one could do with a little scrubbing up. Complete
mental block on my part, I even have the book, but was desparately trying not to look it up.
