Might be an unnecessary disambiguation page if "Sigma 4.5mm" is not commonly referred to as 4.5mm DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:57, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: agree, unnecessary. Just use a hat note. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:45, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If the disambiguation page is deleted, then the redirect pages should be deleted as well. "4.5mm" can refer to anything of that size. In photography, prime lenses are colloquially referred to by their focal lengths. For example "Use the 4.5mm." is an elision for "Use the 4.5mm lens." The same occurs in ballistics as well. For example "Use the 4.5mm." is an elision for "Use the 4.5mm caliber.". This is confusing and specific enough I think to warrant a disambiguation page since these are very different contexts (shooting a gun versus shooting with a camera lens).

Being a part of Wikipedia, a disambiguation page has to guide the reader to actual uses of 4.5 mm in Wikipedia, not any thinkable use of the term. Your second suggestion below seems far-fetched. Geschichte (talk) 08:57, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
~~Otherwise merge with a new disambiguation page for "5mm" to refer to anything between 4.5 mm and 5.4 mm in size. Nicole Sharp (talk) 22:34, 5 February 2025 (UTC)~~[reply]
Delete and also delete incoming redirect 4.5mm. The lens is not known solely as "4.5 mm". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:15, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete slap a hatnote on .177 caliber and that's it. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 11:51, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't believe even a hatnote is necessary. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:26, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
