• Delete as indiscriminate. I can't see any indexing use to this, it's instead more like a random selection from Special:PrefixIndex/artificial. postdlf (talk) 01:06, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

• Comment, have just informed the article creator about this afd, PamD, who split this from Artificial (disambiguation) back in 2013. Coolabahapple (talk) 09:39, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, @Coolabahapple:: I had the page on my watchlist so noticed this AfD but was wondering whether anyone would think to notify me as the page creator. I created the page as a split from Artificial (disambiguation), which in 2013 was mostly a list of many partial title matche articles. This seemed the least aggressive way to tidy up the dab page. The long list had been the work of many editors over many years - see its gradual development in the page history from 2005 to 2013. I don't feel strongly either way over whether it now gets deleted or kept. The various entries in the "See also" section cover most cases. PamD 15:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
