Merging whith entity

Entitativity is an important concept in social psychology, and I think it deserves its own article. I will see what I can do about expanding it. Rasputinous (talk) 13:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Entitativity → Entitativity (Social Psychology) – "Entitativity" as a word, on first glance, seems to be a standard nominalization of the most general sense of the word entitative, which implies the page is about the ability of a concept to be considered an entity, and not specifically only the social psychological concept (as the article is now). And, due to the current stub state of the article, upon first viewing this was not immediately clear.

I've added a hatnote to clarify a bit, but think that this article should also have the clarifier "(Social Psychology)" to provide "pre-visit clarification" about what the article is about. Perhaps also, after this is done, a disambiguation hatnote pointing directly to Entity (disambiguation) would be beneficial. After reading WP:DAB, it doesn't seem to state clearly if a morphologically derived word should have clarifiers separating it from its root word, when no other articles with the exact derived word's title exist, but in this case I think it makes sense, as this article is linked from that disambiguation page, and the concepts are highly related but distinct.
