Tottenham Cake[edit]

I've no idea why anyone thinks that the Tottenham Cake topic should be disambiguated on this page.

Firstly, [Wikipedia Policy] seems quite clear on this: "It is usually preferable not to add disambiguation links to a page whose name already clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term." One, it only talks about links to a page - should disambiguation even be used to link to a section of a page already included in the disambiguation list? Two, does anyone really think that Tottenham Cake doesn't clearly distinguish itself from Tottenham?

Secondly, "Tottenham Cake" isn't even an article/page: it's part of the primary topic article/page. Also within the primary topic page are mentions of numerous other topics that include the word Tottenham. Should all those also be added to the disambiguation page? e.g.: Tottenham Cemetery, Tottenham Marshes, Tottenham War Services Institute, Tottenham Town Hall, etc, etc.
