Could someone please provide an example?? -- Gelu Ignisque
I don't know who did this, but it's been done. -- Toby Bartels

What about something along the lines of:
- Where an adjective is in more common use than a corresponding noun, and applies to a number of different concepts, a disambiguation page may also be appropriate.
By way of precedent, I note that British is already a disambiguation page, rather than a redirect. Alai 22:21, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This is certainly reasonable in cases (like British) where the corresponding noun is not clear. But it doesn't apply to the motivating example on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ambiguous adjectives) (which is Bounded <-> Boundedness, a disambiguation page either way). -- Toby Bartels 23:59, 2005 Mar 12 (UTC)
- Disambiguation pages are generally not considered to be standard "articles" but rather "navigational aids", being referred to as "pages" rather than "articles"; therefore, it would seem acceptable to suspend the nouns-only titling guideline for disambiguation pages as a class. I am presently considering the creation of a special disambiguation tag that would highlight these exceptions, something like {{Adj-disambig}}, to be appended to pages that are disambiguation pages and which title is an adjective.
