Head fake

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to be a notable, encyclopedic topic in its own right. Consists almost entirely of a dictionary definition, and already exists on Wiktionary at head fake. Nearly an A5 speedy delete, but for the lack of prior discussion. Ibadibam (talk) 18:44, 21 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom or possibly redirect to Feint. Nobody's discoursed at length on the subject, so it fails WP:GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:25, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Very much a dueled meaning term with significant coverage in regards to the market. More sources can be added. CNBC, NBC News, just two of many. Valoem   talk   contrib  22:04, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep This is covered in detail in numerous books about sports such as Coaching Youth Soccer and Football End Play. It also appears in the Last Lecture. Andrew (talk) 16:47, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you have access to these materials, and if so, could you use them to expand the article? Ibadibam (talk) 17:53, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment as nominator - There may be enough sourced material to develop a meaningful article on the sports meaning of the term, similar to layup. If we reach that point, would it make sense to have a section "As a metaphor" that discusses the financial and philosophical analogies? Ibadibam (talk) 17:53, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
