Is it actually a stock phrase? Also, I googled, and "disco sucks" got more hits.
Yes. Just read the examples on the draft. And Stock Phrases are phrases commonly uttered in fiction, and I'm pretty sure "Disco Sucks" isn't commonly uttered in fiction. Just because "Disco Sucks" shows up a lot when you google it doesn't mean it's a commonly uttered phrase in fiction.

^^ Same.
Also, am I missing something regarding crowners? Disco Sucks seems to me to be in the lead, at 15:3 vs Disco Is Dead at 6:2?

(Edited a part out) IMO, "Disco Sucks" is more descriptive of the trope than "Disco Is Dead". I'll give the latter a down arrow.

^^ Read my edit in the first post. Someone downvoted Disco Is Dead after I made this query, so it's not in the lead anymore.

My TLP draft,
Disco Sucks, has a title crowner.
There's one problem: the crowner with the highest consensus range, Disco is dead, is a Stock Phrase, which violates No New Stock Phrases. Am I supposed to go with the second highest result so I don't violate wiki policy?
Edit: Someone downvoted Disco is dead, so it's no longer the crowner result with the highest consensus range. I still think the topic warrants an answer in case this happens again though.
