"Pink Houses" is not called "Ain't That America", meaning it is not a valid disambiguation entry. Prod contested because "it may be useful" even though that's not how dabs work. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:53, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. However, immediately after the deletion, I recommend moving Ain't That America (TV series) to Ain't That America, and then adding a hatnote there to direct people looking for the John Cougar Mellencamp song to Pink Houses. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:59, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Agree with the above suggested move because disambiguation isn't necessary. Disagree with the suggested redirect because the term isn't even mentioned in Pink Houses. MB 03:09, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and move the TV series to base title. Before making a redirect or hatnote from the term to the song, it would be necessary to add some mention of the term in the song's article - it isn't mentioned there at present. PamD 09:33, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a useful disambiguation. Someone using this phrase is more likely than not looking for Pink Houses as evidenced by a cursory search. If not for the TV series, this would make a fine {{R from lyric}}, but it is ambiguous so we must disambiguate. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, I have added a mention of the phrase at Pink Houses. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:01, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Only one direct match, with the other meaning resolvable via hatnote. BD2412 T 03:02, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
