 * Oppose. To most people "fizzle" means "not to burn well" or similar: see fizzle. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment this IP user, 75.142.152.104 has a bad habit of not following instructions. S/He repeatedly refuses to leave a reason for moving pages around, and has been doing this for months on end. S/He has been informed several times about the need for leaving a reason. 76.66.192.55 (talk) 04:36, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. Fizzle already redirects here anyway.  It doesn't matter if "fizzle" has another dictionary meaning.  See Wikipedia is not a dictionary.  —   AjaxSmack   04:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Dragonfire incident
This is only indirectly related to a nuclear fizzle. IMO, it belongs elsewhere, into an article more closely related to terrorism. - ¡Ouch! (hurt me / more pain) 06:58, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Nuclear fission tests considered to be fizzles

 * Upshot–Knothole Ruth
