Like Seven sisters, the article is a disambiguator because the phrase is metaphorical, thus inherently vague. As seven of anything can be seven sisters, or a group can be pared down or filled out to make seven, so three of anything can be an iron triangle. Iron production, after all, consumes mostly iron ore, fuel, and flux, so those items are the iron triangle of iron mills, but the phrase isn't notably used that way. So, sure; you can put in a few more iron triangles and seven sisters if someone has been publishing them notably. Jim.henderson 22:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
