From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

… a disambiguation page is a legitimate substitute for very short articles or stubs on subjects which would have to bear the same names anyway. To say that there is no point in adding one-line dictionary definitions to such a page is not official Wikipedia doctrine, and to follow such a principle would ensure that some opportunities to spare visitors the trouble of a somewhat lengthy search will be missed.

Even if you haven't yet grasped all the legitimate uses of a disambiguation page, or the interest others may find in subjects you find remote or silly, what about leaving the benefit of the doubt to those who have?

The idea about an encyclopedia is to give as complete information as possible to readers, all the more so when there are no practical storage limitations and others are willing to do the work.

The idea about an "open encyclopedia" implies helping them find what they are looking for without having to do multiple searches, and also not discourage contributors by letting your own limited knowledge interfere with theirs.
