=== Partially disambiguated titles ===
Only non-disambiguated terms are eligible to have primary topics. Parenthetically disambiguated titles thatare remainby ambiguous aredefinition not consideredprimary topic titles; if the parenthetical qualifier is still ambiguous, it needs to havebe areplaced primarywith topica more onprecise Wikipediaqualifier. For example, [[Party (album)]] canis refernot toprecise enough, because [[Party (Iggy Pop album)]], [[Party (Nick Swardson album)]], and [[Party (Pet Shop Boys album)]] exist, therefore [[Party (album)]] redirects to [[Party (disambiguation)]]; neitheras articlean should{{tl|R befrom consideredincomplete the primary topic fordisambiguation}}; "Party (album)" cannot have a primary topic because that title employs parenthetical disambiguation. While a partially disambiguated term should notcannot serve as the title of an article, it can redirect to an article in cases when such redirection does not introduce additional ambiguity. For example, [[New York (city)]] redirects to [[New York City]], whicheven though it is only one of several cities called "New York"; however, the term "[[New York City]]" does not employ parenthetical disambiguation and that title can itself refer to all the other cities called "New York" as well, therefore nowell—no additional ambiguity is introduced by [[New York (city)]] redirecting there.
