This disambiguation page is not really required per WP:DAB - the University of Nebraska State Museum article doesn't even have a seperate section for the Elephant hall but a mere mention. I do not think that this disambiguation page is much help to the readers, or disambiguates any ambiguity. Kostas20142 (talk) 15:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's reasonable - the only reason I created this page was because Elephant Hall directed to the University of Nebraska State Museum and I felt it would make more sense for it to direct to Letaba's Elephant Hall since that's the name of the museum, but I was unsure how strong the association of Elephant Hall is with the museum. I support deleting this article and redirecting Elephant Hall to Letaba Rest Camp#Elephant Hall. I'm happy to put a disambiguation item on that section if anyone thinks it's necessary.

Delete, not a valid dab. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:02, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, because it is a valid disambiguation page. It has two "Elephant Hall" entries which are valid disambiguation page entries. There is no world-wide wp:PRIMARYUSAGE of the term. There is something called "TWODABS" which states that a disambiguation page having two entries might not strictly be necessary, but it does not prohibit having such pages, and it is helpful to have this. Note, I did revise one of the entries to directly show Elephant Hall, Letaba Rest Camp, which is itself a redirect to a section of the Letaba Rest Camp article. This is fine practice. --Doncram (talk) 22:13, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The term "Elephant Hall" should NOT be a redirect to just one of these places. --Doncram (talk) 22:14, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per guidelines on WP:DISAMBIG page: It is necessary to provide links and disambiguation pages so that readers typing in a reasonably likely topic name for more than one Wikipedia topic can quickly navigate to the article they seek. Wm335td (talk) 20:06, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This makes much more sense than a dab link in each of target sections.----Pontificalibus 13:26, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a disambiguation page, but it is WP:MALFORMED at this title and needs a swap with Elephant Hall. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:08, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
