 * Keep Looks like it does to me. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment the contents of the dab page should be integrated into the main article, deleting the dab page without integration is unhelpful. 76.66.200.95 (talk) 05:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Wth? It seems quite clear that this word does need disambiguation, since there are five pages that it is related to. In fact, Speedy Keep, per 1.2, the nominator advances no argument for deletion. Silver  seren C 16:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Five possible things to disambiguate among, most of them named after one but otherwise not directly related to each other = needed dab page. Keep. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:36, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, yeah. Keep per all the reasons already given. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 22:21, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Hard to understand why this was even nominated for deletion. --DAJF (talk) 00:31, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, for all the reasons above. In fairness to the nom, I can see a reason why this was nominated for deletion in good faith.  If there were articles Ōmuta, Ōmuta (sumo), Ōmuta (citrus fruit), and Ōmuta (Tochigi) then a disambiguation page would be obviously needed.  There is one main article Ōmuta, and the others are "something else + Ōmuta + something else", and so it's not quite as clear cut.  Nomination is understandable,  but it's still a speedy keep.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:59, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ōmuta Station can be linked from a dab hatnote in Ōmuta. The rest are partial title matches, and not ambiguous with "Ōmuta". -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:29, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Per WP:2DAB, it's perfectly fine (that page describes it as "harmless") to have a dab page with only two main entries. Additionally, there are a few articles on jawiki which could be translated to English and would expand the number of main entries on this page. There is no valid reason to delete this dab page. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 18:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, harmless. Could be left alone, but as long as it has been nominated, can also be deleted. Being useless is a valid reason to delete it until there are more actually ambiguous articles from jawiki or elsewhere created. Being harmless is not a reason to keep it. -- JHunterJ (talk) 01:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, the Tenjin Ōmuta Line was formerly known as simply the Ōmuta Line (until 2000, when it changed names), so it's very possible for it to still be called "Ōmuta Line" by many people and therefore need disambiguation. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 18:21, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Given that additional info, striking my !vote here and replacing below with a Keep. -- JHunterJ (talk) 01:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per JHunterJ. Ōmuta, Fukuoka is the only article it would be naturally titled Ōmuta. Ōmuta Station is a partial title match but omission of "Station" is common so a hatnote might be helpful. Others, I don't think they belong to the disambiguation page because it is unlikely that they are simply known or called as "Ōmuta". --Kusunose 17:29, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Shirt 58. Edward321 (talk) 00:19, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as reworked. -- JHunterJ (talk) 01:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
