Since the previous iteration of this thread got completely wiped in the crash, I'm remaking it. Also, have a relevant ATT thread.
There's a lot of unnecessary "do not confuse this with X" notes on wiki pages. As a quick example, VideoGame.Creepy Castle says "Not to be confused with the level with the same name from Donkey Kong 64." Nobody is going to confuse an action-adventure game from a few years ago with the last level of a 90's collectathon platformer, and that's not even the only game with a level named "Creepy Castle". I would delete it myself, but I've already deleted it once and I don't want to edit war over it.
If you find any misleading or Fan Myopia-filled disambiguation notes on pages, bring them up here.
Additionally, I would like to propose that "do not confuse with" notes should only be for pages with similar titles, such as Run-and-Gun vs. Do Not Run with a Gun, rather than "this series is named for a character whose name is the same as another character from an unrelated series", such as the note that used to be on Series.Benson about a character from WesternAnimation.Regular Show.
That seems okay to me.
This is at the end of Squirrel Girl.
Do not confuse this Squirrel Girl with fellow squirrel girls Grace "Shade Tail" Sciuridae, Makoto Nanaya, Aquerna note , the girl squirrel from The Sword in the Stone, or the cartoons Squirrel Boy and/or Secret Squirrel.
Basically it's just a list of other squirrel girls... and some just regular squirrels. How much of that is worth keeping?

I don’t think any of those are needed.
Keep Squirrel Boy, but cut the rest.
Cut down the Squirrel Girl entry.
There is no Planet B
Film.Philadelphia mentions three unrelated works that have the city in their title. None are really similar or confusing, and it's not a joke either.
Cut?
I was looking on VideoGame.Animal Jam just for fun and then I found this:
No, this has nothing to do with food spread made from animal meat.
TBH, I chuckled at this because of how bizzare of a conclusion it made here.

Any say?

Not necessary.
Oh yea I checked again and saw this at the bottom of the description.
Not to be confused with the Jim Henson puppet show with the same name, Animal Farm, Pearl Jam, Space Jam, or any work titled Animal (noun) or (noun) Jam.

The Jim Henson puppet show, assuming that it really does have the exact same name, is valid. Everything else (including the "meat jelly" thing) can go.

At least the "meat jelly" thing is an actual joke. I'm on the fence about cutting it, since there's humor behind it and not just "Names The Same".

I’d keep the meat jelly thing since it’s an actual joke. The rest can go though.

Yeah I agree. I added that back in 2017, when I was an inexperienced troper.
EDIT: Cut.

It doesn't make a lotta sense but at least there's something to it.

Daria has "Not to be confused with Dora the Explorer."
...Do people confuse them?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Nope. Cut it.

And from Dead Unicorn Trope:
Do not confuse for a certain robotic unicorn, or for a Rainicorn. Not (usually) related to actual dead unicorns either.
The latter comment is fine, but the former feel like Fan Myopia, as if those are the first two things that come to mind when someone talks about unicorns. (And neither are even about generic unicorns, dead or otherwise, so it's unlikely someone would make such a connection.)
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Yeah, cut the first two.

VideoGame.Killer Queen has this: "Not to be confused with the Queen song of the same name, or the Stand from Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Diamond Is Unbreakable that is named after said Queen song." I can kind of understand putting the song there, but the gratuitous Jojo's reference is completely unnecessary.
I added this to the page Money for Nothing, do you think it's valid:
Compare Suspicious Spending where a character can not spend their illegally earned money without drawing suspicions.
I am not sure because only The Shield and Breaking Bad explore this idea, most times the criminal does not even consider the possibility.
