Piriform → Pyriform – This is the usual spelling; see e.g. OED, where the definition is at Pyriform, and Piriform is listed as a 'variant' of pyriform. MPF (talk) 22:31, 18 December 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 00:29, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- Pyriform is a redirect to Piriform, so why does it matter? Forgive my ignorance. — W.andrea (talk) 22:42, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
- WP:UCRN. This rare variant is not a commonly recognised spelling (I for one, had never seen it before) - MPF (talk) 22:50, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, I see, thanks. — W.andrea (talk) 23:07, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose The DAB page is meant to disambiguate between things known by the same title, which in this case is "piriform". Most likely the DAB should be deleted instead or soft-redirected to Wiktionary, it is entirely comprised of WP:PTM that have "piriform" as part of their name, DAB pages are not a search index... Piriform Software is the only one I can tell that is commonly referred to as just the word, but does not appear standalone notable outside of CCleaner. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:44, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. The pages listed at this DAB all have titles that use the spelling variant piriform. If these are all wrong, then propose a multiple RM to correct them all too... but I'm obviously very skeptical that this is the case. This RM was an excellent idea, as there's a long sad previous history of purism regarding this and related terms, and as I say elsewhere, the purist is almost always wrong.
