Cunt hair

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Attempted to RFD this but isn't allowed since it's not an actual redirect here. There is no point in this soft redirect as no such title exists on Wiktionary and it seems an unlikely search term here, so unnecessary. Praxidicae (talk) 19:20, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It was I who removed the A3 tag guessing that wasn't familiar with wiktionary redirects. Seeing as it doesn't actually have a target, it should be deletable through G8. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 19:26, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm okay with that but wasn't sure how to go about it given the back and forth tag removal. Praxidicae (talk) 19:29, 27 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep per emerging consensus at Mizzle/Mizzles. Why aren't we allowed to have soft redirects to Wiktionary? We should be trying to promote use of Wiktionary and it's a very valid slang term to refer to a very fine unit of measurement. I agree, though, that this isn't eligible for CSD. Alternatively, let's give it 3-6 months to see how many people are entering this term and, if there's at least a half dozen (or so) unique visitors, per month (or two), to the page title, then it may be worthy of a soft redirect. --Doug Mehus T · C  19:47, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * There is no entry at Wiktionary...and what consensus? I don't see any established consensus for this. Praxidicae (talk) 19:49, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , The emerging consensus to redirect Mizzle/Mizzles to Wiktionary even though they're not mentioned on Wikipedia. Click through to the articles and note the RfD discussion. Doug Mehus T · C  19:51, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Also We should promote use of wiktionary um...why? This isn't urban dictionary. I sincerely doubt people are coming to Wikipedia to look up "cunt hair". You cannot apply consensus from an entirely different subject matter that is in no way similar to this situation. Praxidicae (talk) 19:51, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , Wiktionary refers to a variant term, with the adjective red preceding it. It's a very common term with its origins in the construction trades, as I understand it. I've never heard using the adjective red to precede it, but the term I proposed is definitely the common term. I would actually recommend renaming the Wiktionary term to drop the red reference. But that's another discussion. Doug Mehus T · C  19:53, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I also think you're misunderstanding consensus. Two "redirects" in a 6 day old RFD, one of which is by you is not "emerging consensus" Praxidicae (talk) 19:52, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , You're forgetting the nominator, who wasn't opposed to a redirect, and the commenters who expressed no !vote either way (including for deletion). Doug Mehus T · C  19:54, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * there is absolutely no emerging consensus to redirect a title here to a non-existent title elsewhere. Two votes is not a consensus for broad topics. Praxidicae (talk) 19:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , I respectfully disagree that G8 applies. Why would we have a soft redirect template to Wiktionary then?, can you clarify? To me, I see no problem with using soft redirects to Wiktionary for terms that don't exist on Wikipedia. After all, Wikimedia's other properties are under-utilized. Doug Mehus T · C  19:57, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The term literally does not exist on any project. Praxidicae (talk) 19:58, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , So, you're saying I should've proposed to rename the term on Wiktionary to the common usage, then proposed this soft redirect? Doug Mehus T · C  20:00, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
