Why is my page using a default template instead of a more specific section template?

Repo here: https://github.com/sodevious/hugo-example

Page in question here: http://localhost:1313/events/events-000000/

The page calls from /layouts/_default/single.html instead of the more specific /layouts/events/single.html and I’m not sure why. My directory structure looks like this:

layouts
   _default
      single.html
   events
      single.html

You have set type: other in your page, which makes it of type other and not events. Remove the type or put your template in /layouts/other.

Thanks so much!
