'Alot' is not in the Oxford English Dictionary. The correct term is 'a lot'. I am undoing the most recent edit because of this. Sylosin 15:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

– Very common misspelling of "a lot". No primary topic. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 02:43, 21 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 01:46, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I would not even say its completely a misspelling (which I would be reluctant to account) but may even be (even if not really correct) a plausible alternative for "a lot". Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:01, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. WP:SMALLDETAILS, and a misspelling is not really that "small" of a detail, in comparison to, say, merely differences in capitalization or diacritics. Also, we're not dealing with the generic phrase "a lot", which isn't an actual article topic, but a particular 2018 song "A Lot" which truly isn't spelled "Alot".

Oppose. While it's true that "alot" is a common misspelling of "a lot", there isn't a Wikipedia article about the phrase "a lot" – the closest things are A Lot (song) (which is already disambiguated) and a link to Wiktionary. There's no content that this article needs to be disambiguated from. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:58, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There's no other article using the title. And even if there were an article titled a lot, an encyclopedia should not favor misspellings over correct spellings. Station1 (talk) 02:16, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. As WP:CRITERIA instructs, "the choice of article titles should put the interests of readers before those of editors, and those of a general audience before those of specialists." It's tough to imagine that any readers would correctly identify the current title as referring to a small town in western Madhya Pradesh (which Google Maps identifies as "Alote"), or that anyone but certain Wikipedia editors would ever consider the unclarified form to be the better title. Adding the state unquestionably helps the reader. ╠╣uw [talk] 10:27, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. "Alot" is mentioned on the article for Hyperbole and a Half, making it a valid redirect target / primary topic contender. In fact, that's probably the most common encyclopedic meaning for a correctly spelled "Alot" in English-speaking countries outside of India. We have no primary topic here. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
