Disambiguation page does not link to any articles of the same title, only lists potential article titles. –Dream out loud (talk) 14:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. You've got a song and a film with no primary topic. There is no requirement that the entries on disambiguation pages lead with a blue link, just that they have a blue link in each entry, which these do. If it is bothersome that none of the entries have blue links for the topic, but only for the description, you could create I Know What Boys Like (film) (pointing to The House Bunny) and I Know What Boys Like (song) (pointing to Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful). And now that I preview it, I see the first already exists, so I'll incorporate that in the dab. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's even better with the redirect to the film, but there's nothing wrong with links on disambiguation pages that refer to a song in an album; anyone could be looking for those songs. It just happens that all of the links on the page (well, all before we got the blue-linked film redirect). In consideration, it may be a stretch to say that articles could be written on all of those songs, but the disambiguation page is useful. -- Natalya 17:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on the basis that I don't think AFD is the proper venue for discussing dab issues of this nature. There is in fact a Disambiguation Wikiproject so I would encourage concerns regarding this dab to be raised with them for possible improvement. I've seen enough ambiguity (pun intended) over the minimum number of active links allowed on a dab page for me to not support deletion in this venue. 23skidoo (talk) 17:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I think it is useful for this to be considered here in this case as it exposes current arguments based on policy and guideline for retention of articles of this class. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:24, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per all comments above. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and note that there really should be a "I Know What Boys Like (song)" since it had some chart success. JuJube (talk) 23:28, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I didn't really "create" the page; I redirected it to The Waitresses, the band that sang the '80s song of the same name. IRK!Leave me a note or two 21:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
