Unclear that anything at this dabpage is actually ambiguous. Geo Storm is not known as Geostorm, and vice-versa. Users seeking GunForce II and Geomagnetic storm are not likely to use the search term "geo storm". This can all be handled with hatnotes. Delete. 162 etc. (talk) 19:38, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. This disambiguation page is useful and avoids lengthy hatnotes. I completely agree that "Geo Storm" is not known as "Geostorm", and vice-versa, but "Geo storm" could be either. It is not clear what any redirect target would be. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- How is it useful? I'll point out once again that nothing here is actually ambiguous. If the dabpage is deleted, the search query "geo storm" would simply end up at Geo Storm, and that seems fine. 162 etc. (talk) 20:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:30, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: agree with 162 above. It would be confusing for the reader to e.g. land on a Geo Storm an automobile - when they meant maybe the geomagnetic storm. Asteramellus (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Asteramellus, since you agreed with the nominator for "delete" instead of "keep", was your vote supposed to be delete? Unless, I am missing something. Ramos1990 (talk) 00:24, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- User talk:Ramos1990 Sorry I meant Shhhnotsoloud comment - didn't realize 162 had replied to them. Vote is Keep. Asteramellus (talk) 15:07, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
