Delete per WP:DABNOT. This functions more like a search index within the franchise than an actual disambiguation. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:29, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

keep. It isn't a search index. All of these items have exactly the same title, so this prevents confusion. If they were included under Hitchhiker then you'd have a point. But they aren't.Serendi ^pod ous 15:01, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- Given that there are multiple notable items with the same title, a disambig makes perfect sense. Umbralcorax (talk) 15:17, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am puzzled as to what part of WP:DABNOT is supposed to be relevant to this: I can't see it. There are several articles about different things which all have the title "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which is precisely what a disambiguation page is for. What is the problem?

Keep. Valid navigational page. If there were only two or three entries, the issue might be solved with a pointer template at the top of each article, but when there are many a disambiguation page is the way to go. Sjakkalle (Check!) 16:11, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a mostly harmless disambig page ;). (Plus as above.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 16:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
