Winter Olympics (disambiguation)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I question the practical use of this separate disambiguation page. Most of this page is essentially a duplicate of Winter Olympic Games#List of Winter Olympic Games. Then there are only two other links currently listed on Winter Olympics (disambiguation)#Other Uses. A better alternative would be to modify hatnotes on the top of Winter Olympic Games,[1] 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Delete: the two disambiguations are better handled by a hatnote, as has already been done. PamD 16:03, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A disambiguation page with 3 names is valid. There are also several books with similar titles, and a band[2][3][4][5][6][7]: I'm not saying any are definitely notable, but it's possible. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:49, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.
