@Laterthanyouthink: I got rid of the list of capes because of WP:PTM, but you reverted my edit. To justify why I did what I did, quoting from WP:PTM: For example, Louisville Zoo is not included at Zoo (disambiguation) because people outside Louisville would not readily identify it as the "Zoo", and including all zoos in the world in the disambiguation page is impractical (though List of zoos is listed in the "See also" section). Similarly, a cape might be referred to as "The Cape" because it's the nearest one, but that doesn't mean it should be listed on the disambiguation page for "Cape". In my view, disambiguation pages are for unrelated topics. Lists of related topics should go into things like broad-concept articles, given name/surname indices, or list articles, depending on the situation. A list of all capes on Earth is definitely encyclopedic material, but if you ask me, it belongs much better on the article Cape (geography) than over here.

Yes, I understand, but in particular Cape of Good Hope and its associated list are and have frequently been referred to as the Cape (including in history books), and are legitimate inclusions as the other words may not be included - see here and just google the cape and see what you get. Also, when I visited there years ago, I found that people from the Boston area seemed to refer to Cape Cod as the Cape, so that may be a legitimate one too. Not sure about Canaveral but that may be justifiable on similar grounds - or at least in the See also section. I would agree with removal of the Antarctica and lesser capes though, and maybe include the begins with template in the See also section just for completeness.
