None of the entries has the exact name "Aquarian Age". Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep two of the entries have "Aquarian Age" combined with an undertitle. So this would be the short form name. Further this is an alternate formulation for "Age of Aquarius" using standard rules of English grammar. (ie. Medieval vs Middle Ages). As this would exist as a redirect anyways, for any of the three entries, it therefore is a disambiguation page. 70.49.127.194 (talk) 04:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, we should keep this one - the Age of Aquarius is a well-understood term in New Age circles. It can be differentiated from the New Age in having a specifically astrological reference. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:24, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Google book search for "Aquarian age" AND "new age" shows 2670 results. [1] Dream Focus 08:14, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as useful disambiguation - I can easily see that someone might be looking for the card game or anime and not remember the subtitle, or conversely looking for the New Age concept and not think to phrase it as "Age of Aquarius" (if they have never heard Hair, I guess). The only reason to delete would be if we decided that "Age of Aquarius" was the primary usage and put a hatnote on it for the game and anime.

Keep as per Roscelese. Edward321 (talk) 13:18, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Google news and Google book search get ample results for this, it pointing to different things. Dream Focus 08:14, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All these things could be thought of as "Aquarian age". The shift out of the of form in English is universal, even when in published sources about the thing it is always the other way around. Disambiguations are to help people navigate and should exist when people might enter the term for multiple things.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
