• Delete fails WP:D Lightburst (talk) 02:59, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Creator here. The 1st (Chushul Chakzam) and 3nd (Luding County) items would have the same spelling when romanized using the same scheme (Wylie, THL, Tibetan Pinyin), both literally means "iron bridge" in Tibetan. The reason I created this DAB was because the original article at "Chakzam Bridge" conflated 2 different "iron bridges" in Tibet (1 near Lhasa & 1 near Shigatse). I would suggest deleting the -ka entries. --Voidvector (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The question is: Does this aide navigation for our readers? Per WP:D It is necessary to provide links and disambiguation pages so that readers typing in a reasonably likely topic name for more than one Wikipedia topic can quickly navigate to the article they seek. I cannot imagine anyone typing in these varied search titles and getting lost. Lightburst (talk) 03:44, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would say yes, because previous editors have "gotten lost" because they added coordinates for a bridge near Shigatse to an article about a bridge near Lhasa. Though I think that might be resolvable via hat notes. --Voidvector (talk) 03:58, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Luding County is not a partial title match. – Uanfala (talk) 16:26, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia article doesn't list all possible romanization ever used. Example of this spelling from Google Books. --Voidvector (talk) 18:19, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Chushul Chakzam. There are at best two entries. Luding County is a bit weak, but a redirect hatnote could be added to Chushul Chakzam. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:09, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I hadn't realised that Chushul Chakzam, according to its article, is also known as Chakzam. There's at least one more article, Luding County, alternatively known by the same name, and neither appears to be the primary topic. – Uanfala (talk) 19:16, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Voidvector has convincingly demonstrated that at least Luding County and Chushul Chakzam are both also known as Chakzam, and a Google books search returns other notable Chakzams such as Chakzam Tulku and Chakzam Monastery. -Zanhe (talk) 06:48, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep 170 pageviews over the last 30 days suggests some-one is using this as a search term, and therefore a WP:CHEAP way to help readers. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:26, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Voidvector and Eggishorn make convincing arguments here. Waggie (talk) 04:28, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
