Winter Olympics (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I question the practical use of this separate disambiguation page. Most of this page is essentially a duplicate of Winter Olympic Games. Then there are only two other links currently listed on Winter Olympics (disambiguation). A better alternative would be to modify hatnotes on the top of Winter Olympic Games, instead of having readers go to this additional DAB page. The number pages that need to be disambiguated does not currently go above Template:Redirect's limit. Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:26, 9 February 2014 (UTC)


 * There was previously a hatnote at the top of Winter Olympic Games. However, I felt that the disambig page was worthwhile as the two main 'alternative' uses are significantly less notable than the topic itself. On the other hand, I completely see your point; happy for it to go if people agree so. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 19:11, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep the page but delete the list of Winter Olympics from it, leaving only a link to the Winter Olympics article, the TV episode, and the game. bd2412  T 16:10, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: the two disambiguations are better handled by a hatnote, as has already been done. Pam  D  16:03, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep A disambiguation page with 3 names is valid. There are also several books with similar titles, and a band: I'm not saying any are definitely notable, but it's possible. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:49, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete If this is a disambiguation, shouldn't there be more pages mentioned? And shouldn't this page be in list form? I don't think it's doing its proper job for disambiguation, should either be deleted or edited to be more clear. Adamh4 (talk) 22:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep There is a rule of design that says, "keep it simple, but not too simple".  I skimmed 400 hundred articles that were returned with a search on Winter Olympics, and noticed "Top Gear Winter Olympics" and "Winter Olympic sports".  At this point I don't know how many related articles there are, but I see no purpose to posting anything at the top of the main article except for one link to a disambiguation page.
