Better Angels (disambiguation) → Better Angels – No primary topic, or if there is one, it's the Lincoln quote. The title "Better Angels" once was given to a novel, but that has been moved to Better Angels (novel) p  b  p  03:48, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Support Someone simply typing in "Better Angels" most likely wants one of the pages listed here.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:24, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. Better Angels (The Walking Dead) is actually the WP:primary topic for the capitalized version.|Better_Angels_(The_Walking_Dead)|Better_Angels_(FlashForward)|Better_Angels_(Agent_Carter)|Better_Angels_(Supergirl)|Better_Angels_(NCIS) - Station1 (talk) 22:27, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That is, unless you count Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address, which gets 3x as much. Also not a fan of you moving the first inaugural address to the bottom.  p  b  p  06:47, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * But Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address is never known by the title "Better Angels", to the best of my knowledge, so relatively few people are going to be searching for or linking to it under those words, or be surprised to find a dab page there. There's not even a redirect using those words. Of course, I agree some people will be trying to find where the phrase comes from without already knowing the title, so it definitely belongs on the dab page, but the "See also" section is where things like this normally go per MOS:DAB.

 * Support the quote gets more views but that's not particularly likely (especially since it only appears in the article twice) with the Title Case version, like Bird Box and Friendly Fire we should probably put the DAB at the Title Case version (to also avoid problems with ha PT swap regarding external links). Better angels could redirect to the quote per WP:DIFFCAPS but maybe that's not even necessary since the quote doesn't appear to be a particularly likely target as noted even for the Sensitive case version considering many might not bother to capitalize proper nouns.
