High Score → High Score (disambiguation) – The "High Score" primarily refers to a high scores in games. Another similar name, high score (without the capitalization), redirects to Score (game)#High score. Thus, it would make sense to also have "High Score" redirect to Score (game)#High score while moving the disambugation page to High Score (disambiguation).

Support, pretty clear primary topic, with most of the terms on the disambiguation page actually not quite matching the title due to variations in spelling, punctuation, subtitles, or the like. BD2412 T 05:24, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:SMALLDETAILS and WP:DABNAME, we title DAB pages using the most common spelling from among the listed entries, and the uppercase is enough to distinguish these items from the general concept. Since the general concept is the top link on the DAB page, readers will find their way just fine. This is particularly a bad idea because there isn't even a separate article on the general concept. -- Netoholic @ 07:00, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Many games spell the term as "HIGH SCORE" in all capitals, so it's not clear whether the words are supposed to be capitalised or not. Therefore capitalisation is not enough to distinguish them. JIP | Talk 13:10, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose I'm not convinced someone typing this in title case would be looking for the score page given the existence of High Score (TV series) and High Score! so I think WP:DIFFCAPS works quite well, the score page is already linked at the top which seems sufficient, HIGH SCORE already does redirect to the score article. I'd note that if this discussion had have happened before 14 August last year I'd probably have supported similar to Sea Urchin. Although possibly recentism the TV series got around 10,000 views per day while the entire score article got around 50 this clearly shows if anything the TV series is far more primary by usage so I'd say the fact that the other 2 capitalization go to the generic one is more that sufficient.

Oppose per WP:DIFFCAPS. The status quo is fine as it is. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:30, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. High score isn't even an article. It's a two-sentence section. If people are searching "High Score", the chance they want to see something that small that tells them nothing they don't already know is minimal. Nohomersryan (talk) 17:23, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
