Mockingjay (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are only two pages where Mockingjay significantly links to i.e. the book and the fictional pages. I don't think we need a dab for two articles and there's already a hatnote placed on top of each page. Furthermore, the dab is incomplete and contains just one line of context with a link to the novel. Ankit Maity «T § C» «Review Me»   18:09, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've added more entries. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:49, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Yes, but the entries are all for, what amounts to, the same thing. The term, on it's own, has no notability outside the novels and this is not a Hunger Games Wiki.Padillah (talk) 19:33, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. How are a book, movie, bird species and alias "the same thing"? The fact that they are accorded separate articles shows they're not (and that's the purpose of a dab page - as an article navigational tool). Clarityfiend (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment In the book it is used as a fictional bird species and an alias, in the movie it is used as a fictional bird species and an alias, as a fictional bird species it is co-opted as an alias, and as an alias it was co-opted from the fictional bird species. You really don't see how those are pretty much the same thing? Padillah (talk) 16:03, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Yes the usages are all related, but indeed there are now 5 different articles sensibly offered as what a reader may be looking for.  This does not convert Wikipedia into being a Hunger Games wiki;  a disambiguation page does not host trivia or cruft, it merely provides navigation links within Wikipedia.  If one objects to the separate articles existing, like do we really need a separate one for each movie, that is subject for AFDs elsewhere. -- do  ncr  am  22:50, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep but, if it were up to me, I'd be tempted to reorder the page as follows:

Mockingjay a fictional bird species within The Hunger Games universe and an alias of Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Mockingjay may also refer to:


 * Mockingjay the third novel in The Hunger Games trilogy as published in 2010.
 * The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, an upcoming 2014 American science fiction adventure film
 * The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, an upcoming two-part film adaptation of the novel

I have also added a tag to Mockingjay  Gregkaye (talk) 14:23, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
