Pretty useless as a disambiguation page: one unlinked entry/definition and one entry with three links, only one of which even mentions the term (and limited hangout is a more limited meaning). Clarityfiend ( talk) 07:22, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

- Merge with Cover Story. Both pages are disambiguation pages, but they cover different topics. HenryTemplo ( talk) 12:11, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Merge the other dab here: Cover story is the slightly older page of the two and its title is preferable according to WP:DABNAME. – Uanfala ( talk) 10:00, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: We've got two different merger proposals here of disambiguation pages and it's unlikely that either will be acted upon without more clear consensus of whether the page title should be Cover story or Cover Story.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 18:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)- WP:DABNAME states the version with the most entries is preferred, which is Cover Story. Clarityfiend ( talk) 11:24, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- It also states that the simplest form is preferred. Though yeah, it doesn't explicitly give the principle (which is well established in practice) that common nouns are preferable to proper names: you don't use the proper noun variant (Cover Story) unless all the entries are proper nouns. – Uanfala ( talk) 11:45, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Merge with Cover Story. I think "Cover story" is the correct name for the merged page. Once the pages are merged, there'll be easily enough links to be able to write a disambiguation page. -- ais523
