Redundant dab. Points to nowhere, as none of these songs, etc. have pages. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 01:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Unnecessary DAB page. There is no need for us to promote songs or albums called 'Hyperactive' that don't have articles. EdJohnston (talk) 01:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• DeleteKeep — Normally disambag pages have a few redlinks, but this one doesn't have any of those. It doesn't have any links, either. These songs need to belinked, that is all. ;) --Lord₪Sunday 02:13, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep There is an existing article with the title, and any of these songs could have one down the road. No evidence that this dab page is "promoting" any of these songs. No policy argument justifies deletion here. Alansohn (talk) 04:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per Alansohn. This disambiguation page could be useful in directing people to any one of the albums containing a song called Hyperactive. Cunard (talk) 05:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, though per WP:MOSDAB the links to the artists should be removed and the links to the albums should remain. Deor (talk) 05:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, seems to be a useful Disambig page -- Darth Mike  _{(Talk• Contribs)} 12:10, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. If someone were to create, say, Hyperactive (The Donnas song) as a redirect to Get Skintight I'd raise no objections, it's a reasonable redirect. This disambiguation page could easily be made up of a load of redirects of that type and it would be a useful navigational aid - and in its current state, it's basically the equivalent of that situation. Plus, I suspect a fair few people search for that Lasse Gjertsen video, internet meme that it is, and this disambiguation page will again provide them with a useful link. ~ mazca ^{t | c} 14:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:*Question: Are there other Disambigs like this? Ugh! (Not a vote.) I thought Disambig was for finding similarly named articles, not indexing things mentioned in articles. "Use the search button." ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. This is just a list of songs called "Hyperactive" and fails WP:LIST. There is nothing disambiguating about it: it doesn't go anywhere. maxsch (talk) 15:53, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Okay, one song had a page after all. Is that enough for a dab? No. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 23:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep; there are other disambiguation pages like this (not that that is a good argument for keeping it, but for those who were wondering). See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Know What Boys Like for a similar AfD, in which the page was also kept. My rationale for keeping here is the same as what it was for keeping in that AfD, however. (In fact, it's much better written there than what I'm trying to articulate here, so I'm just going to copy and paste): 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 happen to be songs. 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 23:34, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep: there are valid bluelinks for all the song entries. (The two non-song ones are a little iffy.)--NapoliRoma (talk) 23:42, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Keep per Deor, but the album should be the only blue link and the song titles should be delinked. DABs like this may help someone find something they're looking for and they hurt no one -Hraefen ^Talk 19:24, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

• Keep: Trivial but harmless. The IMDB lists a Hyperactive film due for release in 2009, which could possibly be an enormous blockbuster for the ages. Overall I am surprised that there are so few notable things called hyperactive. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
