Unnecessary disambiguation page. Only one article needs a hatnote to the other two, and it already has it. wumbolo ^^^ 18:04, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Three ambiguous articles, one of which is the WP:PTOPIC. A disambiguation page is preferred to a long hatnote. feminist (talk) 01:34, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  It is one primary topic, one secondary topic and one topic with a different title which could be confused with this one. wumbolo ^^^ 06:41, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Note that GamersGate currently links to this disambiguation page. feminist (talk) 10:43, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Excellent. The hatnote can be replaced with ((distinguish|Gamergate (biology)|Gamergate controversy)). wumbolo ^^^ 11:35, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  It's easier to only have to update one disambiguation page than to have to update two hatnotes. feminist (talk) 06:35, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• feminist has a point. It's only a matter of time before we also have "Gamergate (book)" and "Gamergate (documentary)". A disambig page is the best solution. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 10:03, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:CRYSTAL is not the best solution. wumbolo ^^^ 13:23, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Feminist. I also added another entry, an episode with a guest star plyaing a fictional character with the surname Gamergate, which is another valid entry. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 00:42, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete A hatnote can easily suffice for this topic, there does not seem to be a need for a separate disambiguation page per WP:TWODABS. Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, GamersGate is not something that requires disambiguation, so you really only have the ant and the controversy and an extremely minor, crufty character. I can picture a dual hatnote like "This article is about the species of ant. For the controversy, see Gamergate controversy. Not to be confused with GamersGate."_{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 18:20, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP - All relevant stuff to disambig. FOARP (talk) 16:54, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Clearly means more than a controversial topic surrounding gamers. The Optimistic One (talk) 18:18, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
