The result of the move request was: moved. There is consensus to move the second page and not move the first page. There is no consensus to move the third page. The new dab page is merged into

Move
Muzzle (device) to
Muzzle (mouth guard) per
WP:NCDAB. These can cover human mouths, not just animals. "Device" fails to disambiguate it from many other muzzle devices. The OED uses the phrase "openwork guard"
Move
Muzzle device to
Muzzle attachment (disambiguation). There are many "muzzle devices", including mouth guards.
Front sights are also devices on a gun's muzzle, or muzzle devices, but they're not muzzle attachments such as flash suppressors or silencers.
Spit hood/
spit mask should include not just human versions, but those used for camels and llamas.
Muzzle device was just created today mainly to disambiguate six kinds of firearms muzzle devices, along with the mouth guard. It's what made me notice all of this. How is snout/muzzle/animal mouth not the primary topic of muzzle? It is the original meaning of the word, an animal's mouth, from which by extension derives a mouth guard or covering, the opening of a gun, or anything else that dispenses anything. Currently
Muzzle is (unintuitively) a disambiguation page, whereas the accurate and unambiguous name for the muzzle dab page is
Muzzle (disambiguation). --

The topic at
Snout is not the primary topic for "muzzle" due to the dearth of any evidence that people searching with "muzzle" are most likely looking for the snout article. --

Oppose 1 -- no primary topic (note that being the original meaning is not being the primary topic
WP:DETERMINEPRIMARY, and we don't use (disambiguation) in disambiguation titles where there is no primary topic). Neutral on 2 -- either qualifying phrase is workable, although I think "device" is simpler. Merge and re-redirect 3 merge dab content from
Muzzle device to
Muzzle (and put partial title matches in See also), then retarget
Muzzle device to
Muzzle (device). --

Comment It looks like my solution isn't going over very well, but don't let that stop anyone from propsing one or more other ways of cleaning up this situation. These dab pages and redirects obviously need work, so do fix them. --
