The result was Delete. We have disambiguation pages, and we have articles on file formats. This article fails as both. Electron9's argument is rejected: directory type pages are explicitly prohibited by WP:NOT and there are numerous websites that specifically address this need and make a much better job.

Useless disambiguation page. Disambiguates a single article on Wikipedia, which does not even mention the file extension. Forget that "plain/text" is not a valid MIME type, and disambiguation pages should not have references anyway. I tried WP:CSD#G6 already, but the author added two backlinks, seemingly just to make the page technically ineligible. Keφr (talk) 18:41, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm with you. --Roman à clef (talk) 20:05, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Doesn't meet policy for disambiguation pages, but could this be replaced by a redirect? --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:44, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to what? Keφr (talk) 05:53, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose gives information on file extensions. Electron9 (talk) 23:29, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. External links are expressly forbidden on disambiguation pages. A disambiguation page should contain no linkless lines, and no links that are not either title matches to the disambiguated term, or alternate identifiers for a term which appears in the article from which the link originates. Were this page to be made to fully conform with disambiguation page policy, nothing would be left on it at all. bd2412 T 12:47, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Delete - This not useful as a disambiguation page, nor do I see any possibility of turning this into an actual article. -- Whpq (talk) 15:21, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
