This is not a valid disambiguation page: all entries are WP:Partial title matches not known solely as "Jamiat". The definition given is unsourced. An alternative to deletion might be a ((Wiktionary redirect)) to wikt:جمع Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:40, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't think WP:Partial title match is a reason to delete, because one of the reasons for the different spellings in English is different methods of transliteration. This issue comes up with many Anglicizations of Arabic words. This is evidenced by the fact that another disambiguation/definition page exists titled Jamaat which appears to be doing the same thing as this page and a little bit better in my opinion. So actually I think it would make more sense to merge it with that.Chagropango (talk) 12:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The Jamaat example is unconvincing; those titles are partial title matches as well. Under the current guidelines, there is no need for disambiguation unless some of these entities are known as simply 'Jamiat'. A Wiktionary redirect or splitting into 'List of' articles (including 'Jamaat'?) would be viable alternatives. Leschnei (talk) 13:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Various partial title matches for the generic Arabic word جمعية (jamʿiyya, assembly) or translations into other languages. The only item which seems to be called just جمعية on enwiki is one of the terms defined at Areas of Kuwait. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:17, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
