::::::::::: OK, here's the thing. The unreferenced content cannot stand; it must be removed. And disambig pages should not contain expository content. So the options are: Redirect, disambig without comment, or find references (that ''specifically'' say the phrase is an error) to make a trivial article which really shouldn't be there. --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] ([[User talk:Trovatore|talk]]) 17:13, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::I've raised this with the admin who closed it, because frankly I agree that we're now in a very silly situation that the outcome of the AfD simply cannot be implemented without flying in the face of WP's sourcing rules. We can't have a disambig that doesn't say it's an error, because otherwise we claim the existence of a term that doesn't exist. We can't have a disambig that says its an error because no one's got a reliable source that it's an error. We can't have a redirect because it's a portmanteau of two different titles, so which do you point at? And anyway, several experienced editors rejected that option explicitly at AfD. We can't delete it because the AfD result was keep. And so there's no possible outcome. You will have been alerted to my post at {{u|Star Mississippi}}'s talk-page, I hope I've summarised your viewpoint accurately and apologise if I haven't. In many ways it would help if the keep !voters would reconsider, but I don't want to try to canvas them to change their point of view, that's not really encouraged behaviour.

It will take me a while to get up to date with this discussion. Let us note that:
* Wikipedia once had a whole bunch of links to [[cumulative density function]]. I cleaned them up.
* The phrase occurs in well over fifty-thousand scholarly articles by otherwise respectable writers.

I don't insist that this must be labels a disambiguation page, but it should be here in some form. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 21:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
