Talk:Blessing in disguise

Chinese tale, and other languages
I asked at User talk:Nlu about the translation and they've never heard that particular story, but have heard another about a lost horse for which that phrase is actually the second half of a complete saying, and what I can see of the source seems to be possibly a source for this lost horse story? I'm wondering if that sentence might need attention from someone familiar with Chinese folktales/sayings.

I know this saying/concept must be present in other languages/regions, too. It almost defies credibility that it wouldn't be. --valereee (talk) 14:17, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree, it's likely to have developed independently in many cultures. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:49, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Blessing in disguise (idiom) → Blessing in disguise – Disambiguation unnecessary per WP:DIFFCAPS. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:05, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose - unlike the situations for when the only usage has a specific capitalization and editors argue that a reader writing that specific way can only mean they are searching for that title, the same cannot be said for all lowercase. That's just how people search. This helps no one other than you for some reason (and it's a bit annoying that I'll need to copy/paste my same argument to all nominations now). --Gonnym (talk) 23:45, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I did it that way to distinguish it from Blessing in Disguise which is a disambiguation page. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:21, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Inclined to support this one, not per nom but per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The concept is encyclopedically important and the phrase retains a great deal of currency that has nothing to do with pop culture references, none of which would seem to come close to primary-topic status.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:28, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nom although the other uses of the upper case do get more (963) than the idiom (629) [|Blessing_in_Disguise_(Metal_Church_album)|Blessing_In_Disguise_(Green_Carnation_album)] it seems reasonable especially by PT#2 to land readers here. This is a fairly common phrase and I don't think anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize will be surprised to land here.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 14:18, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. The only use with this capitalisation, and the origin of all other meanings. It's where a reader who types into the search box without caps would expect to land. WP:DIFFCAPS is also relevant. Narky Blert (talk) 10:09, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. Meaning of the phrase. Hyperbolick (talk) 20:51, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
