per mos:abbr "Use sourceable abbreviations" please provide a reputable source for IM1 referring to iron man (2008). i searched im1 on the internet and only found the interstellar object
What I brought forth was entirely in good faith in an attempt to display the variety of options, and clearly showcases that IM1 or variations of it refer to different subjects. The Screen Rant article and ComicBook article are from reputable sources that cover the Marvel film contents, per
Interstellar meteor 1 already exist does not qualify this un-disambiguated redirect ought to only refer to one subject or the other, thus necessitating a DAB page, and there is precedent to do this at the DAB pages IM (which does include Iron Man), and IM3, which includes Iron Man 3. Even if not all of the search results are to be used on the DAB page, the two ones of discussion (the Marvel movie initialism and the alt name for the meteor object) are of relevance for a DAB page given it refers to multiple subjects.

no, the given examples were all completely spurious.
>The Screen Rant article and ComicBook article are from reputable sources that cover the Marvel film contents, per WP:MCURS.
neither screenrant.com nor comicbook.com seem to actually be listed on this guide. please point me to where they are listed if i am mistaken
>Even if not all of the search results are to be used on the DAB page, the two ones of discussion (the Marvel movie initialism and the alt name for the meteor object) are of relevance for a DAB page given it refers to multiple subjects.
there is only one thing widely referred to as IM1 outside of reddit comments and student essays. a dab is not required.
I do not believe critiquing each line of my comments without offering up a compromise is beneficial in a discussion. I stand by what I brought up and believe if an impasse arises, taking this to

and i do not believe that throwing out irrelevant links to distract and confuse is beneficial in a discussion. alas, we do not see eye to eye.
>I stand by what I brought up
brother trailblazer, do you truly believe that a disambiguation page should be created here that links to iM1A2 Abrams? admit to yourself that this is a falsehood, even if you can not confess that in public.
even if im1 is used as a shorthand for iron man (2008) (not, i note, titled "iron man 1") in the context of an article discussing iron man movies, that does not make a dab page necessary here. it is not a widely used term outside of these niche discussions, and no one will be trying to access iron man (2008) with im1. the dab page would only add clutter to the encyclopedia.
These links I have provided are not "irrelevant" as they are subject matter sources covering the Marvel movie topic and support this initialism refers to another subject than only the meteor object. That cannot be disputed. My intentions are not to "distract and confuse" but to educate and put everything on the table to provide a clear transparent navigation on Wikipedia, and assuming my intentions are ill is not

The DAB page I am suggesting (which I am not saying has to be made), could link to multiple entries as I pointed out above, not just the singular entry you have pointed out. DAB pages do link to entries that have longer titles which start with the term at hand. Moreover, the fact that multiple different sites refer to "IM1" as either the Marvel movie or the meteor object justifies that the redirect
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC
.
It is not advised for DAB pages to be made when two subjects share a name, so if a DAB page is not made, adequate disambiguation ought to be given as there is no clear primary topic. I know Partial titles are not for DAB pages, and I was not saying the iM1A2 Abrams article should be linked in a DAB, just that it was in the search results of "IM1". Upon further inspection, there is also the University of Medicine 1, Yangon, which was formerly the Institute of Medicine 1 or IM1, and would qualify for a DAB with three different articles referred to as "IM1".
