Deletion of Variational method (disambiguation)

Comment: either as a dab (its current state) or expanded into a |broad-concept article. The status quo ante (in which "variational method" pointed to one very specific case of this class of methods) is not a good solution, so the nominator's suggestion of having two articles that link to each other (per ) doesn't work

Comment: This really isn't a disambiguation page according to . These are examples of Calculus of Variations applied to particular problems. I think my suggestion is that Variational method should redirect to Calculus of Variations, (Variational methods already redirects there). The article at Variational method should be renamed Variational method (quantum mechanics) and Calculus of variations should include pointers in the lede to these important examples. Variational methods in general relativity and maybe Variational methods (physics) should probably figure in here somewhere too. So I think that makes this a '''delete''' vote
