Removed entries

   WP:Dab#Partial title matches directs (in detail beyond this quote)

A disambiguation page is not a search index. Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion. ...

As the following entries appear to have been added en masse in ignorance of that, re-adding should probably be accompanied by evidence for each of such risk:

   This one clearly violates DABRL as it stands; IMO it would still violate it with Hastings, Maine turned into a red-link (even with the sparsely scattered mentions of it in the article collected into a reference-able secn), since the only rdlk to it is in that article:

* Hastings, Maine, was a company town of the Hastings Lumber Company
