*I agree that in the current state of affairs readers aren't well-served by arriving at a short article that doesn't give them anything they, as speakers of English, didn't already know. But questions of primary topics aren't about what condition the articles are at a given time, they have to do with the ''topics'' of those articles. If answer (in the sense of "response") deserves an article of its own (i.e. separate from [[Question]]), then it obviously ''is'' the primary topic. – [[User talk:Uanfala| Uanfala (talk)]] 21:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC) |

– On 5 March 2017 the article at Answer was moved to Answer (law) and replaced with the current "article" which is barely a dictionary definition. I tagged it as such. I moved this article to Answer (response) to be replaced by Answer (disambiguation) as there didn't seem to be a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It seems clear that the current article has no claim to be the primary topic. The original article on the legal aspects of "Answer" seems overly specialised to be the primary topic. Hence the request to move the disambiguation page to this location. Tassedethe (talk) 16:59, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- Support per nomination. Even on its own merits, the appropriateness of a 20-word, two-sentence stub being designated as a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is questionable, especially when all such a stub depicts is a brief definition. In view of the fact that this topic has been submitted for discussion, it may even be suggested that the separate Answer (disambiguation) and The Answer dab pages should be merged in the same manner that The Question redirects to Question (disambiguation). —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 21:45, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- I agree that in the current state of affairs readers aren't well-served by arriving at a short article that doesn't give them anything they, as speakers of English, didn't already know. But questions of primary topics aren't about what condition the articles are at a given time, they have to do with the topics of those articles. If answer (in the sense of "response") deserves an article of its own (i.e. separate from Question), then it obviously is the primary topic. – Uanfala (talk) 21:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- Support and also delete/redirect this article. It's a WP:DICDEF, not an encyclopedic topic as it stands. SnowFire (talk) 01:56, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- Support and redirect per SnowFire's argument. The page is a stub and is not needed as a separate article. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:C509:CC76:E3B3:B459 (talk) 02:50, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
