Dying to Live (disambiguation)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

PRODed when this was a disambiguation to a single red-linked entry. The PROD was removed, and three more entries were added. However, I still do not think this is a needed disambiguation. Of the four current entries, only one has it's own page that I can find, and that one is itself tagged for notability. Two of the others, including the original one, the creators are red links. And the final entry, while the creator is certainly notable, I see no indication on the creator's discography page that this particular song is notable. So, all in all, I still see no useful purpose to this disambiguation. TexasAndroid (talk) 20:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Almost entirely non-notable entries, unnecessary dab. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 20:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC) Keep now that it has multiple entries.  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 20:37, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete No articles (yet) ambiguous with the primary topic already at Dying to Live. -- JHunterJ (talk) 00:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC) Changing to keep, below
 * Delete Pointless dab.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 04:16, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmmm. I found a page for another of the entries, Dying to live (movie), created by the creator of this disambig.  The documentory looks marginally notable.  6 reviews given, at least one of them from a really major paper.  So maybe we do have at least two notable entries for this disambig.  I'm wavering now.... - TexasAndroid (talk) 04:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Edgar Winter song has been covered by a number of artists (as well as being the basis for Runnin' (Dying to Live)), and presumably qualifies for an article. The film and novel for which we already have articles also seem to be notable. So the disambiguation page serves a purpose, and shouldn't be deleted (though maybe it should be moved to Dying to Live). --Zundark (talk) 09:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep now that it has been expanded to usefulness. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Too late to withdraw this, with Delete votes above, but as the OP I will officially express now that I no longer think this should be deleted. We now have several appropriately linked targets on the disambig. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep now has several blue links. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:07, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
