Unnecessary disambiguation page. ... discospinster talk 04:32, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep a search on-wiki reveals several other meanings of the term "LMBO", which I just added. Duckmather (talk) 05:40, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
- Question "Unnecessary" in what way? That's a surprisingly vague deletion rationale which doesn't give much context for discussion. I don't see why it's any less "necessary" than any other disambiguation page with five alternatives on it. Granted, none of them have their subjects linked, but all of them reference something that's mentioned at the destination pages, and in most cases to which they specifically pertain. Largoplazo (talk) 04:40, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Unnecessary in that none of the articles linked are closely associated with "LMBO". (See WP:DABACRONYM.) Who is going to search for this initialism trying to get to one of these articles? ... discospinster talk 16:40, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: multiple entries pass WP:DABMENTION, the only questionable line being the buy-out initialism which appears in several sources but not on-wiki. There seems to be no primary topic. Certes (talk) 12:41, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- I see the buy-out initialism as the most solid entry: that's the only one where the topic is clearly not obscure, the term widely used (could easily be the primary topic, already is on frwiki), and the linked article/s highly relevant to the topic (rather that simply the ___location for a passing mention). – Uanfala (talk) 14:18, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment This is a very different page than the one that was speedy deleted before this AFD. Liz Read! Talk! 05:16, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
