All partial matches. MOS:D: Do not include entries for topics that are not ambiguous (according to the linked article) with the title. Use list articles for lists of related topics if needed.

  • All the articles for this disambiguation list have descriptors in the page name that fully match "Systems Division", so claiming all partial matches is inaccurate (and not related to the "Do not include [if] not ambiguous" policy. 30 SW (talk) 13:36, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On a page called Title, do not create entries merely because Title is part of the name Epicgenius (talk) 16:13, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a reason to just remove the red entries, not delete the clearly valid disambiguation page with numerous blue entries. The non-red entries aren't "merely [there] because Title is part of the name"--they're there because there are articles for different topics with descriptors that fully match Title: "Systems Division". 30 SW (talk) 13:36, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Keep: All named entries that are listed are indeed ambiguous--they're all Systems Divisions. Not sure why Epicgenious would post the quote to imply they are not. Likewise, the entries are not "a list… of related topics" -- they page names all include the full name "Systems Division", but are for entirely different entities. (Which is what disambiguation is for.) 30 SW (talk) 13:36, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete These are all partial matches, as the nominator points out. They also break the parsing of the names which are all "(Blah Systems) Division", not "Blah (Systems Division)". Dingo1729 (talk) 03:30, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment User:30 SW, please see MOS:D#Examples of individual entries that should not be created. Boleyn (talk) 13:14, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and per Boleyn, the listed topics are against MOS:D. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 12:43, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
