Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris → Misery loves company — This article is about the proverb, which is much more recognisable under the shortened English translation "misery loves company" than the Latin "solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris". All the articles listed on the "Misery Loves Company" disambiguation page, eg. the various songs, derive their names from the proverb. Note that I do not think the capital initials in "Misery Loves Company" are sufficient to distinguish the page from the lower-case "Misery loves company", as the proverb is often written in capitals as well.

- To chuck a spanner into the works, you may be shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic. This is a dictionary definition of the phrase, not an encyclopedia entry. Either we should rewrite it to be an encyclopedic treatment of the concept of misery loving company,[1] or we should move it to Wiktionary. We already have an article on Emotional contagion, which I've noted as a "See also" at Misery Loves Company. So... move this entry to Wiktionary:misery loves company, redirect this page to Misery Loves Company, and add a note there about Wiktionary:misery loves company!

- F&W's commentary makes sense. billinghurst sDrewth 03:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- My first choice: delete the thing as essentially a dictionary definition, per F&W. My second choice: move to Misery loves company as the basis for an article about the phrase itself. Propaniac (talk) 16:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
