Solution in search of a problem. The only usage I found (now reverted) was basically to the phrase "methods using mathematics" (and in three of the four cases, were on pages on the dab itself) In other words, a bad dab. Primefac (talk) 16:21, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Isn't this AFD a solution in search of a problem? The term "mathematical methods" is very broad; it makes sense to allow any readers searching on such a broad term to find their way to articles about mathematical methods in three big areas (physics, electronics, economics). There is no way in which this disambiguation page hurts anything, and it does help. In general, disambiguation pages are supporting pages, like redirects, that are "cheap" and helpful. --doncram 17:14, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- It could be converted to a broad concept article (which would naturally link to the physics, electronics, economics articles), but no editor is barred from doing that by the disambiguation page existing. It should not be deleted. --doncram 17:42, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep The title is often used for books or university courses. It's a broad concept which might usefully link to many other articles including applied mathematics, mathematical analysis, numerical analysis and quantitative research. Andrew D. (talk) 17:30, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - this is a widely used term and the page is sensibly and usefully constructed. It can certainly be improved, too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:26, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
