This page has seemed unnecessary from the point of its creation over two years ago. Originally, there was a single hatnote at the top of Clannad pointing readers to Clannad (visual novel), and this seemed to work fine. There are only two main articles in the disambiguation page, with the other pages being branch articles from those two. I don't see a need for there to be an extra disambiguation page link on Clannad after the link to Clannad (visual novel) since the branch articles are easily found as links in their respective parent articles. It would be different if there were more than two main articles, but as convention goes, I doubt there needs to be a disambiguation to links to daughter articles easily found in their parent articles. 十八 06:12, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. It seems to be useful enough. No-one is saying that Clannad isn't the primary topic. And it's not like this page is using up space. StAnselm (talk) 10:19, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• keep WTF? We have a bunch of "Clannad" topics, this is the navigational disambiguation between them. This is how we roll. What possible reason is there to remove this? Andy Dingley (talk) 22:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: as I said when deprodding it: "there is no way a hatnote could clearly help people looking for the film/album/anime series: it already points directly to visual novel and then to this dab page,which works fine". There is no reason to delete this useful, compliant, dab page. PamD 16:22, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Keep: more than one topic per WP:MOSDAB. I will clean it up, including correcting the primary. Hatnotes irrelevant to DAB or not - please read WP:MOSDAB next time.
