The disambiguation page fails
WP:DAB as it only lists one topic and not many topics, thus not making it a valid DAB. It's also a good idea to delete the
dab pages that redirect to that page as well.

Keep There can be a series page for related topics while also having a DAB page for identically named topics, those are different things.

Keep. Kpgamingz says that "dab articles are for unrelated topics", but I see no evidence of that in the
WP:DAB article. Did I miss it? If not, I think Kpgamingz is misinterpreting WP:DAB: each of the things listed is a "topic" as referred to in WP:DAB. This disambiguation page seems extremely helpful. --

Keep I think the nominator doesn't understand WP:DAB (or I'm being stupid), but it looks like it disambiguates between a bunch of pages. In particular:
"Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead"
"The page at Rice is about one usage, called the primary topic, and there is a hatnote guiding readers to Rice (disambiguation) to find the other uses."

Delete: The term "SpongeBob SquarePants" is not ambiguous. Per
WP:DABCONCEPT, this should be an article, not a disambiguation page, because "the primary meaning of" SpongeBob SquarePants "is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article". In fact, the concept of SpongeBob SquarePants already has an article,
SpongeBob SquarePants (franchise), and that article describes each of the items listed on this DAB page.
