We only have articles on two topics by this title, one of which is the primary topic, so per WP:TWODABS there's no need for a disambiguation page and hatnotes can be used instead. The dab page does also have the redlink Captain Pantoja and the Special Services (1975 film) but, while it's useful to list redlinks in dab pages, and the Spanish Wikipedia's article on the 1975 film indicates it's probably notable, I don't think we should keep disambiguation pages solely for the sake of redlinks which provide little to no value to the reader. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:22, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks are often helpful in that they make it easier for editors to notice an article is missing and to make links to it. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:15, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It looks like they're all concerning the same work in question. My thought is that this could be covered under an adaptations section on the main work's page, along with some hatnotes at the top. I don't know if there's really a need for a disambiguation page at this point in time, when everything could be mentioned on one page. There could be a template at the bottom if one really wanted for this work in specific, I suppose. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:06, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These are all adaptations of the same work. Hatnotes and wikilinks are sufficient. pburka (talk) 23:48, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
