Taking to AFD since PROD was contested. WP:TWODABS states If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed—it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article, pointing to the other article. There are only two topics of this title are Art pop and Art Pop, and the former is the primary topic. Lady Gaga's album Artpop is a separate entity because that doesn't have a space in between the words "art" and "pop", and therefore doesn't truly count as a third entry for the title.

Keep. Our agreed guidelines on combining similar terms on dab pages make clear that:
"A single disambiguation page may be used to disambiguate a number of similar [as opposed to nitpickingly identical] terms. Sets of terms which are commonly so combined include [..] Corresponding singular, plural and possessive forms, or compound words. For example, the terms Eaglenest, Eagle Nest, Eagle's Nest and Eagle Nests all appear at Eagle's Nest"
Regardless of your personal opinion- which you're entitled to- our agreed guidelines above make quite clear that "Artpop" and "Art pop" do not warrant treatment as separate names for disambiguation purposes. There are therefore three- and not two- entries to be disambiguated, which was the basis for the creation of the page in the first place.
Note; I am the creator of the dab page in question. Ubcule ( talk) 19:13, 19 February 2017 (UTC) reply
My bad; hadn't noticed that part of WP:DAB. In that case, I withdraw this AFD. Snuggums ( talk / edits) 22:26, 19 February 2017 (UTC) reply
