The first group of five entries has been disrupted in the past, despite the somewhat technical requirement that they exist on this page as long as the information in the articles that they link continues to be sought by some users under the title "American".
It may also be a shortened form of:

*], a style of option contract that allows for exercise anytime before the maturity date

The need for the existence of these entries would not be affected by any decision on whether such use is correct or desirable. Many editors may be prepared to tolerate or participate in a discussion of such correctness or desirability on the page at Talk:American (its purpose is to discuss this page, in terms of its aspects that do *not* depend on such correctness or desirability). But removal or disruption of any of these five entries, based on claims of incorrectness, undesirability, etc., of such usage, or without explanation, is likely to be reverted; and persistent disruption will be treated as an abuse of the privilege of editing Misplaced Pages (see Misplaced Pages:Disruptive editing).
