The only extant article whose base name is "Lucy in the Sky" is Lucy in the Sky, about the film.

Karolina Dean is apparently alternatively known as "Lucy in the Sky", but that can just be indicated in a hatnote at Lucy in the Sky. If the Beatles song is also known colloquially as simply "Lucy in the Sky", we can link to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in the hatnote too.

"William Shatner's version" is a cover (?) and doesn't have its own article. The video game isn't even known as "Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites" like the DAB page claims it is, according to the article, and it's simply a "bonus CD" which a limited edition of the game came with, not to mention it's "Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites", not "Lucy in the Sky". Things named "Lucy" after the Beatles song listed in the See also section are outside the scope of a disambiguation page (none of the articles indicate they are known alternatively as "... in the Sky" either), and can just be covered in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Overall, there is nothing to disambiguate that a hatnote at Lucy in the Sky can't. Nardog (talk) 22:35, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there really is a primary topic here. Besides the film, there's also the superhero and the Beatles song (at least in some contexts it's referred to as just "Lucy in the Sky" [1]). That's three proper entries so far, and if we exclude the "see also" entries (I'm not sure how relevant they are) then yes, two of them can be linked from a hatnote on the third one, if that one is a primary topic. – Uanfala (talk) 22:51, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. The following hatnote could be added to the top of Lucy in the Sky, replacing the disambiguation page:

Delete - per the reasoning of the nominator and the voters above. Since there seems to be only one thing that is literally titled "Lucy in the Sky" (the film), this disambiguation page really stretches the requirements for what that type of page is supposed to accomplish. Hatnotes at the various existing articles with very similar titles should suffice. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 12:28, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This nomination makes a convincing argument for deletion (as long as only 3 relevant articles exist).
Note: everything that follows was added after Nardog's below comment; Nardog was referring to commentary that I have since removed from this page (most of it was revised and added to the RM).
~~As the original version of this comment emphasized, I previously thought the closely related title Lucy in the Sky should be moved.~~ I've since withdrawn that RM; Nardog's arguments were convincing. The linked RM discussion will probably still be useful for this AfD's closer, as it addresses Uanfala's above comment (though primary topic comments may not strictly be necessary for the determining how this AfD should be closed). e^πi (talk | contribs) 13:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC) (revised 12:30-12:41, 13 April 2019 (UTC))[reply]
- That's an RM matter, here let's focus on whether to delete the DAB page. Nardog (talk) 12:45, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair enough. I didn't intend to pollute the venue, but you are correct to call me out on doing so. I will ~~try to~~ avoid doing so again in the future.
  - @Nardog: I have now opened the requested move (linked above). e^πi (talk | contribs) 13:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
