 * A disambiguation page is not a search index. Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion. ...

As the following entries appear to have been added en masse in ignorance of that, re-adding should probably be accompanied by evidence for each of such risk:
 * AU
 * * Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, New South Wales
 * * Hastings River
 * CA
 * * Hastings East, West, North, South, :: former federal electoral districts in the province of Ontario
 * * Hastings Park, a park in Vancouver, British Columbia
 * * Hastings Street (Vancouver), a major east-west corridor in Vancouver
 * * Hastings-Sunrise, a neighbourhood in Vancouver
 * * Vancouver-Hastings, a provincial electoral district in British Columbia
 * ;Natural features
 * * Hastings Arm, the northwest arm of Observatory Inlet, North Coast, British Columbia
 * UK
 * ** Hastings Castle
 * ** The Hastings Embroidery, commissioned to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the battle
 * ** Hastings Old Town
 * ** The Hastings 1895 chess tournament
 * * Burton Hastings, England
 * * Ashby Hastings Cricket Club in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England
 * US
 * ;Natural features
 * * Hastings Cutoff
 * * Hastings Mine, an inactive cinnabar mine near Vallejo, California

This one clearly violates DABRL as it stands; IMO it would still violate it with Hastings, Maine turned into a red-link (even with the sparsely scattered mentions of it in the article collected into a reference-able secn), since the only rdlk to it is in that article:
 * * Hastings, Maine, was a company town of the Hastings Lumber Company
