I agree that some of these disambigs can be cut. The only reason why I didn't do so is because I did not see a need for it.

Altough in the above case, the disambiguation could be extended to the XIII comic book and its derivative works too.
I personnaly think that very few disambiguation pages are really superfluous; most are quite useful. Also, they tend to attract wicks, even when deleted, so keeping them around make it easier to clean up those.

Some disambiguations exist for more than single namespaces, such as Dead Or Alive.

Given the auto-disambig function and the new, highly-visible button sets, are any pages on the Ambiguity Index rendered superfluous, now? Many of them are absolutely necessary, of course, but occasionally something like Thirteen crops up, which has two identically named works in different mediums. Would that be served as well by the auto-disambig function and the newly prominent buttons, or is it generally better to have an explicitly labeled disambig on the Ambiguity Index in the majority of circumstances?
