Merge proposal edit

I propose that The Runners (disambiguation) be merged into this disambiguation page. The titles are so similar that readers could easily end up on the wrong disambiguation page. Both pages are short, so the combined page would still be easy to navigate. Leschnei (talk) 11:58, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

There don't appear to be topics that are ambiguous with both "The Runner" and "The Runners", so the current separation appears most useful for navigation. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:17, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'd keep them separate. With a capital R, readers generally know whether they're looking for The Runner or The Runners, and there's a See also to the other.
Once we've decided, we might improve the hatnote for Runners, which may well mean Runners (band), stolons or just people running. Certes (talk) 12:37, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • I would be inclined to merge them, since both pages are relatively short. We could have distinct sections on the page for them. BD2412 T 18:16, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. This is sensible since the pages are short, and disambiguation pages including singular and plural terms are common. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:11, 21 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. Nothing to add. Narky Blert (talk) 11:48, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

There doesn't seem to be strong consensus in either direction, so I've removed the merge proposal. Leschnei (talk) 12:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
