Another editor has reviewed this page's proposed deletion , endorses the proposal to delete, and adds:

This section is an excerpt from User talk:A876 § Endorsing deletion of Intramolecular.[ edit ]
In 2004, an IP address (with only 2 other edits), in 6 edits, created [Intramolecular force] and [Intramolecular] as stub articles, with nearly identical content. (No one should ever have have created [Intramolecular] as an article.)
In 2008, Itub (talk · contribs) moved [Intramolecular] to [Intramolecular reaction] over redirect, leaving [Intramolecular] as a new redirect to [Intramolecular reaction]. (Progress.)
In 2017, DMacks (talk · contribs) changed [Intramolecular] from →[Intramolecular reaction] to →[Intramolecular force]. Every existing link to [Intramolecular] suddenly changed destination! (I assume this was a net improvement; I will not try to evaluate this and possibly other related edits made in 2017.)
In 2019, I, A876 (talk · contribs) clicked on [Intramolecular] and it landed me at [Intramolecular force]. I must have seen that as the wrong destination. I found that 50 pages linked to [Intramolecular]. Rather than check 'all 50 pages for whether they intended [Intramolecular reaction] or [Intramolecular force] (or something else) and then edit those pages and/or select the best redirect target, I made this page into a disambiguation page. (Progress.)
Immediately, DPL bot (talk · contribs) added {incoming links}, because "30 or more articles link here". (Progress.)
That prompted editors to replace the links here with links to one or the other (or something else). (Progress.)
6 days later, DPL bot removed {incoming links}, because "fewer than 25 links" pointed here. (Acknowledged progress.)
In 2025, no (Article) pages link here. (Progress.)
In 2025, [Intramolecular] now serves no function. (Obsolescence.) (Useless residue. Vestigial sludge.)
In 2025 Shhhnotsoloud (talk · contribs) added {Proposed deletion} to this page. (Progress.)
No one is trying to disambiguate "Intramolecular" here.
This page (which never should have been created) eventually served a function: it disambiguated 50 links to [Intramolecular] (which never should have been made). (That function ceased when the 50 incoming links got revised.)
This page contains THREE entries (not two) since 2019. The =See also= entry * {In title|Intramolecular} acknowledges that it does not completely cover "Intramolecular" and provided a link to look further.
However, "the existence of this page" probably does "inhibit Search".
(I can't say whether the {Proposed deletion} comments are pompous, cruel, snarky, and condescending or merely glib, blunt, and terse. They remind me to check my expression when I write.)
I agree, deleting this page would improve Wikipedia.
Many more defunct disambiguation pages (like this one) might detract from Wikipedia. One might find some by searching for edits by DPL bot with edit comments like (Robot: removing incoming links template; fewer than 25 links (see the FAQ))-A876 (talk) 14:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
