Strangers → Strangers (disambiguation) – It seems crazy to me that for all these years, Wikipedia has never had an article on the concept of a "stranger", but we have just moved Stranger to mainspace, and I would contend that it is the clear primary topic of the term, Strangers. I propose to move this page to redirect there, and point a hatnote to it from there. bd2412 T 04:07, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support For the same reason as Bones, this is primary by the long-term significance criteria (WP:ASTONISH). Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:24, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Stranger is the primary topic for "Stranger" and "Strangers". There are 2 disambiguation pages: The Stranger which disambiguates "Stranger" and "The Stranger", and Strangers (to be moved). Should they be merged, do you think? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no strong feelings one way or the other, but I note that the resulting merged page would be very long, as disambiguation pages go. bd2412 T 22:21, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No strong feelings but an unusual case given the French novel, BD2412 is correct about length. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:12, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that both DAB pages have a large number of meanings and already bundle "The", I'd say its probably best to keep them separate. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:21, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
