There appears to be no WP:SIGCOV. Of the 10 sources:
- 1 is the original book with the phrase ( WP:PRIMARY)
- 2 link to a non-reliable site designed to promote the phrase
- 1 just mentions the phrase
- the rest are somewhat OK-ish sources that do not actually even mention the phrase (I have simply searched them, so a mention or two could have escaped my attention) Викидим ( talk) 00:40, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect/merge anything reliably sourced that turns up to the main Hunger Games article. While the phrase itself doesn't appear to meet the WP:GNG, it's common enough that somebody might search for it here. GreenLipstickLesbian ( talk) 03:04, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to
The Hunger Games: I could not find any significant coverage, and none of the material in the article is suitable for merging.

- Eh, current sources 6 and 7 probably belong in a cultural impact section.

- Once we zoom out and look at The Hunger Games, and not just at the phrase, there is indeed a large cultural impact. It is therefore documented in a score of research articles (see doi: 10.3138/jrpc.25.3.372 and [1] as very different examples showing the breadth of material available from the researchers), so journalism from daily newspapers is not needed as a source at all.

- Merge selectively to The Hunger Games. There's not enough here for a spinout article on the phrase itself, at least not yet. Jclemens ( talk) 06:18, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to The Hunger Games. Walsh90210 ( talk) 17:04, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per all. Doesn't meet the WP:GNG but a selective merge could preserve what is in reliable sources. Shooterwalker ( talk) 20:38, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to The Hunger Games per others. Notable in that context, but not for a standalone article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 05:04, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to The Hunger Games. I agree with the above discussion that there is not enough coverage to support a separate article, but a selective merge would preserve the coverage that does exist and this is a viable search term so it would be helpful to lead readers somewhere for it.
