Does not actually disambiguate between any articles. I am sure the search function can find any other mentioned "Mother Brains" on Wikipedia without the need of such a disambiguation page that links to nothing. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The entries look like they link to nothing, but that's not true, they link to something that is not easily seen. They are officially allowed by guideline WP:DABMENTION. All these listed articles have mention of character named "Mother Brain" that's why the DAB page is necessary, in case someone is looking for the "Mother Brain" which is mentioned in Phantasy Star II or in Chrono Trigger. If the DAB doesn't exist, every reader will be forced to visit Mother Brain article and it is not easy to direct someone who is looking for "Mother Brain" a character in I Wanna Be The Guy from there. So apart from being appropriate and within guideline, this DAB page is sort of necessity for reader-friendly navigation.–Ammarpad (talk) 14:41, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep This is the whole point of a dab, to make it easy for readers when we have several different 'Mother Brains' in our encyclopaedia. All entries have articles or meet MOS:DABMENTION. Boleyn (talk) 16:53, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The character in I Wanna Be the Guy is really the same as the one in Metroid and therefore possibly doesn't belong on the DAB, but I guess the other 2 are separate characters, giving 3 in total which is enough for a DAB. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:27, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
