Oppose. Looking through the articles listed at the disambiguation page, I'm not seeing any evidence for the existence of a
primary topic for the base name Hyannis. I think it'd be best to leave things where they are. —

@
Zxcvbnm: There's also the article
Hyannis, Nebraska, which creates ambiguity for the base name, and I don't see any particular reason that the Massachusetts one is the primary topic here. Also, even though Hyannis Port is technically a different name, "port" is such a generic term that I can easily see this town being confused with the other one. —

By pageviews, Nebraska does not seem to get very many, so it's not the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.
I'm not sure I'd say there is a "significant risk of confusion" as everyone appears to refer to the other location as "Hyannisport" or "Hyannis Port".

Oppose. Reviewing
the pageviews, it's clear that the two Massachusetts locations dwarf the usage of the Nebraska location and the tugboat. Consequently, the key question becomes: is
Hyannis Port, Massachusetts a sufficiently different title to avoid confusion under
WP:TITLEPTM? To that end, I'm inclined to say no. Both Hyannis and Hyannisport are villages within the same city, and I don't think the difference between them is likely to be clear to a reader who's not a longtime New Englander; therefore, I believe the DAB should retain the primary title.
