This disambiguation page has only three entries out of which two are individuals with "Bhonsle" surname. When someone wants to reach articles like Anubha Bhonsle or Nagesh Bhonsle, I don't think he will type "Bhonsle" in the searchbox. Its an unnecessary disambiguation page which is creating a mess at Bhonsle article. Shinjoya (talk) 13:38, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I don't understand how it creates a mess of the Bhonsle article. Listing of names is a legitimate page in Wikipedia for those who want to search for individual names. It has been done tens of thousands of time. Nothing unique or extraordinary. And yes, you may be searching for Anubha Bhonsle, but only the Bhonsle part stuck in your mind. So you do search just for Bhonsle and then browse to reach to the Bhonsle you are searching for. Definitly for keep. werldwayd (talk) 15:39, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It creates a mess in Bhonsle because as many as three similar disambiguation pages have been created. The other two are Bhosle (disambiguation) and Bhosale (disambiguation). All these three disambiguation links have been put in the lead of Bhonsle. When someone opens Bhonsle, he finds that half of the screen is occupied by these disambiguation links. This makes the article look messy. Shinjoya (talk) 17:51, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. "Messy" is not a valid reason for deletion. Three entries and a couple of See also links are quite enough for a dab page. I've simplied one of the hatnotes. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Normal DAB page, no valid reason for deletion provided. Sam Sailor 14:30, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: valid dab/surname page. Yes, we provide access from surname to person, via redirect if unique, or dab or surname page if not. PamD 15:18, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it seems to be an Indian surname article and similar list article exists. The nomination is frivolous. Heba Aisha (talk) 23:17, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
