The result was keep, nomination withdrawn (non-admin closure). As much as I thought before that two obscure things didn't need disambiguation, I have been convinced. Interchangeable|talk to me|what I've changed 16:01, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ECCM

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Readers are unlikely to confuse a European non-profit organization with measures against countermeasures in electricity. Interchangable (talk) 20:28, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete According to the article European Culture Collections' Organisation the abbreviation for the non-profit is ECCO not ECCM; with that in mind this article already meets G6 criteria under WP:SPEEDY deletion. // Gbern3 (talk) 20:51, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ECCM appears to be an acronym of the name in a different european language or a predecessor organisation, see for example http://www.science24.org/show/Belgian_Co-ordinated_Collections_of_Micro-organisms Stuartyeates (talk) 02:32, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And how exactly is this relevant? That still doesn't address that this page disambiguates something that hardly needs disambiguation. Interchangeable|talk to me|what I've changed 17:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep, useful to disambiguate between Electronic counter-countermeasures and East Caribbean Common Market (which was added after the nomination on 21 July).

No, it is not. We have simply moved from one organization to another. If you were looking for the Caribbean market, or the electric thing, you would know which to use. Interchangeable|talk to me|what I've changed 20:42, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Seems to be a useful disambiguation page for various things that are commonly known as ECCM. - JRheic (talk) 21:00, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A disambiguation page for two, utterly different, obscure things. Interchangeable|talk to me|what I've changed 23:01, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's what a disambiguation page is for. To differentiate between different things that are known by the same name. - JRheic (talk) 23:23, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per WP:DAB, "Disambiguation in Wikipedia is the process of resolving the conflicts that arise when a single term is ambiguous—when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia articles". There are now (at least) two meanings of ECCM in need of disambiguation. --CliffC (talk) 23:47, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
