I have cleaned up this page as follows per MOS:DAB:

Removed pipes
Formatted links, commas, and overlinking consistently per MOS:DAB
If an item doesn't have the exact word legend in it, it should go into the "see also" section. So "legends," "legendarium," etc don't belong in the main part of this page, in my opinion.
Just because something has the word legend in its name, it doesn't necessarily need to go onto this disambiguation page. Items that are just "the legend of suchandsuch" have been removed. For example, people wouldn't go searching for "the legend of Zelda" by just typing the word "legend."
Removed cleanup tag. Bry9000 (talk) 20:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Merge completed. The contents of Legends and The Legend have been merged here; Legends has been redirected to Legend; The Legend has been redirected here. Legende remains a stand-alone disambiguation page. bd2412 T 17:09, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Legends, Legende and The Legend be merged into Legend (disambiguation). According to WP:DPAGE, singular and plural forms of a word, variant spellings and terms which differ by the presence or absence of an article can be combined subject to editorial judgment. I think it is likely people looking for information on one of these four pages may not find the content they want because they may be unaware that it can be found through another disambiguation page. Merging them all together would probably be helpful. TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:00, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree In ictu oculi (talk) 04:23, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support -and include The Legends too. PamD 04:37, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- They will deserve a line in the merged page, but are not a page that is necessary to merge. If this passes, that page will also get a hatnote.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:02, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They can be; There's a Latin Grammy Award winning The Legends (Tejano band), so I've moved the Swedes to (Swedish band) and fixed six or seven links. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:55, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks- don't know why I didn't spot them earlier! I've added a {{redirect}} hatnote at the Swedish band for the moment, until we get a unified dab page for The Legends to point to. PamD 13:06, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, of course. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 06:00, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support as helpful for our readers, Tom Harrison ^Talk 12:21, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support for improved clarity, for the reader's sake.--Wetman (talk) 13:33, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Partly support. Legends should be merged here; however, Legende and The Legend should remain as stand-alone dab pages like Legendary and noted in each others See also sections. After the merge, Legends should redirect to Legend as its plural form. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 18:40, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Partial support: Merge Legends and The Legend here. Don't merge Legende; its similarity to Legend is only due to the vagaries of etymology. After the merge, redirect The Legends here, but redirect Legends to Legend as Paine points out.—Ketil Trout (^<><!) 03:07, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
