The result was redirect to penis size; the arguments for disambiguation are correct, that the navigation needs to be served, but this can be done with or without a primary topic. Per Spicy's argument, the nav function being argued for can also be handled with a primary topic; will expand the hatnote there as well. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:45, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how this disambiguation page serves any navigational purpose. The entries on the page, excluding "see alsos", are "A relatively small penis in any animal that has one, including humans"; Human penis size; and Micropenis. The first entry is not an actual article topic and cannot plausibly be one since non-human animals do not have the capacity to be concerned about their penis sizes in the way that humans are. It is also so obvious that it is hardly worth stating. The latter two entries do not need to be disambiguated, because micropenis is a subgroup of small human penises, not a distinct topic, and it is already linked in the lead of Human penis size.

Keep - a micropenis is a small penis, but a small penis is not necessarily a micropenis. Those unfortunate souls who are not so well-endowed and who search for "small penis" might find it useful to see a link to both the articles for human penis size and micropenis.

I agree that small penis shouldn't redirect to micropenis. But what you are describing could be accomplished by redirecting it to human penis size, which links to micropenis in the lead. A hatnote could be added for extra clarity. Spicy (talk) 08:11, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not a proper dab page, with zero matches. This is no more appropriate than Large city or Tiny car or many other random adjective-noun pairings. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. If one consults the Google scholar link above, one sees that this is a common complaint and the topic seems to be notable by this name. Papers include:

Small penis and the male sexual role
Structured management and counseling for patients with a complaint of a small penis
Management of men complaining of a small penis despite an actually normal size
Systematic review of surgical and nonsurgical interventions in normal men complaining of small penis size
In an imperfect world, men with small penises are unforgiven
Treatment of men complaining of short penis
Efficacy of the daily penis-stretching technique to elongate the 'small penis'
Consultation for Small-Sized Penis in the Egyptian Males
Penile size and the 'small penis syndrome'
Normative diagnosis and treatment of small penis

Redirect to Human penis size, which is the main article we have about this topic, and which covers cultural perceptions of penis size, penis enlargement and the other topics mentioned by Andrew Davidson. Micropenis is the only other term mentioned and that refers to a specific subset of small penises, so it's a less likely target. Hut 8.5 12:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP A valid disambiguation page. Anyone looking for "small penis" could be looking for Human penis size, Micropenis, Small penis humiliation, or Small penis rule. Dream Focus 19:35, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it is not a valid disambiguation page. Read WP:partial title match. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:49, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - You should read that instead of just linking to it. Disambiguation pages exist for reasons like this, to help people searching for something find what they are looking for. Dream Focus 00:10, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Human knowledge does not always fit computerized categorization. For example is this a dab page or a WP:SETINDEX? It fits neither perfectly but might approximately be included in either. I do not see a better option if our goal is to help readers navigate Wikipedia which is more important than the letter of a guideline. -- GreenC 00:57, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I do see how this disambiguation page serves some navigational purpose --Lena Virginia Birse (talk) 13:43, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Human penis size which covers the overall topic and also directs readers to Micropenis if needed. –dlthewave ☎ 21:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
