Burying the lead

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is just a stub on the use of a term in journalism. It's just a WP:DICDEF. Any possible expansion of the the explanation should already be covered in the articles News style and Lead paragraph, so no reason why this should ever be a standalone article.

 * Delete per WP:SNOW. I would say "merge into News style", but there isn't anything worth merging. Shreevatsa (talk) 14:26, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect to News style or something appropriate like that.  ♪Tempo  di Valse ♪  14:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete first off, it should be "burying the lede." Second off, it's just the definition of a term. I've already merged it here .Bali ultimate (talk) 15:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - There is some dispute about the spelling. Lead is far more common and certainly more correct. DreamGuy (talk) 13:52, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to News_style seems like the most appropriate thing to do. This is a potential search term.  Note that "lede" and "lead" are both valid spellings for this usage. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  15:19, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to News_style or possibly another journalism article. This should defninitely not be a stand-alone article, as it's just a dictionary definition and Wiktionary already has an entry so there's no point transwiking it. On the other hand it is a plausible search term as pointed out above. Hut 8.5 16:25, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Soft redirect to bury the lede as plausible search term, but a better topic for Wiktionary. -Atmoz (talk) 17:21, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * comment I'd suggets a merge or redirect to lede, but for some reason we don't seem to have an article on that subject. Artw (talk) 22:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Lede (news) is a redirect to News style. The news style article needs improvement, but I guess this isn't the place to discuss that :-) Shreevatsa (talk) 22:29, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

*Merge/redirect per above. Deletion Mutation 15:51, 28 March 2009 (UTC)  N.B. !vote of sockpuppet of blocked user struck through. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to News_style per above - there's not much more to say than a dicdef. Bearian (talk) 00:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
