I agree with Makemi that this seems rather random and bizarre
behaviour on your part.  Is this you taking an issue with 'trivia'
another step towards irrational hatred?

There's already too much conflict about article naming and
disambiguation without making it worse - in this case, by insisting
that when a primary topic gets the name instead of it being a
disambiguation page, the others have not only to accept a
disambiguated title but can't even be pointed to at the main name.

Wikipedia is not purely an encyclopedia of science - or any other
topic.  It's every specialist encyclopedia in one bundle, and part of
dealing with that is having to accept disambiguation - since while in
each specialist field, there is unlikely to be ambiguity, across the
whole of human knowledge some terminology overlaps.

In other words, either accept little disambiguation notes like that or
accept that every ambiguous title will be a disambiguation page and
nobody will get primary topic disambiguation - which latter might be
my preferred choice, except everyone would squabble about that too.

What your removal of disambiguation links means is that you arrogantly
think that only YOUR favorite topic should have a wikipedia article,
and the others shouldn't.
