Stair → Stair (disambiguation) – I'm a bit WP:ASTONISH-ed that Stair is a disambiguation page instead of referring to the subject in the article Stairs, the building structure. Stairs seems to have an average of 20 times more page views than any other article on the Stair disambiguation. So, I would say that the disambiguation page should be moved to Stair (disambiguation) so that the title Stair can redirect to Stairs per WP:PLURALPT. Steel1943 (talk) 06:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

• Support as proposed. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:16, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
• Support. I am surprised this hasn't been brought up before. Even more surprising is that the Scottish village used to be at this title instead of a dab page. —Xezbeth (talk) 11:43, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
• Support, of course. But it makes sense that a Scottish village would've held primary topic and has up to this point brought about a dab page. The pro-British Isles bias is extremely fierce on Wikipedia, especially for primary topic. Red Slash 16:53, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose: the article Stairs has (at the time of writing) been viewed 11472 in the last 30 days whereas stair has only been viewed 202 times in the last 30 days. Clearly therefore there aren't that many people missing out that second 's' and finding themselves at a different article to the one they wanted to go to. As is noted in the introduction of the 'stairs' article, stairs are made up of steps, it's common for people to refer to a singular step or a stairstep but pretty rare for someone to refer to a singular stair, in fact there does seem to be some dispute about whether 'stair' is even a word therefore I'm not that convinced by the idea of invoking WP:PLURALPT. Therefore I would argue that per WP:SMALLDETAILS this article should remain at 'stair'. Plus it avoids having another annoying bracketed disambiguation page. Ebonelm (talk) 19:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
• Support per nom. kennethaw88 • talk 22:28, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

• Support per not as those above have. Pandeist (talk)
