A disambiguation page with only one disambiguating line - there are two links on the page, but they are on the same line, with no link for the other purportedly ambiguous topic. Delete and redirect to Symbolic computation, perhaps with a hidden-text note advising future editors not to make these kinds of pages. bd2412 T 03:07, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

- Boldly redirect to Symbolic computation. Why go through Afd for a page that doesn't even qualify for TWODABS? Clarityfiend (talk) 08:49, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect for above reasons. I'll do that. D.Lazard (talk) 10:55, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - There's also Computer algebra system as a possible target --Deacon Vorbis (talk) 11:03, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- "Symbolic computation" is another name for "Computer algebra". As most (maybe all) computer algebra systems do not use the phrase "computational algebra", there is no reason to redirect to Computer algebra system. On the other hand, it may be readers who do not make a difference between "computational algebra" and "computer algebra". Thus redirecting there is natural.

- Fair enough. I just happened to notice so I thought I'd mention. --Deacon Vorbis (talk) 12:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
