No Deal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )



Dab with one valid entry (or arguably zero valid entries as all being WP:PTM) 1. primary topic Brexit negotiations where the redirects No deal Brexit, No-deal Brexit target (there's no lowercase no deal). Two other (sub) entries but all the same topic. Dab title is malformed as titlecase, with 1 valid entry, and linking to the other entries is at the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC target either as normal links, or hatnote see also. Suggest deletion (readers inputting "no deal" aren't even obviously wanting the Brexit topic, they may desire the general concept so search is preferred with only WP:PTM).

It would be fine to just redirect to the same place as No deal Brexit. The title may seem malformed but it is a common spelling. &mdash;ajf (talk) 20:37, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, right, that's how I originally created it, as such a redirect. So obviously I have my bias here. :) &mdash;ajf (talk) 20:39, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep: (edit conflict) In my opinion what a bloody stupid place to claim No Deal should redirect to as primary topic mainly for the reason its not in the greatest place in the middle of a negotiations article. My impression is 's tinkering with such as is making a mess a bigger mess; though to a degree I created the mess that is Brexit – immediate outcome of no-deal exit.  There are also issues over .

 * WP:AGF / WP:CIVIL ignored. Normal day in the office for me - routine cleanup of dabs - check my history. This dab is bad in pretty much every way, and should be deleted. It actually misleads readers who are after "no deal Brexit" into thinking there's three topics, rather than giving those readers what they want, which is the primary topic. Why on earth readers would be typing "No Deal" (titlecase) when they want Brexit is beyond me, can you explain. It's a dab with title issue, and no valid entries.

 * Keep (and move to No deal, with the capitalized version redirecting there). There are at least two significant meanings, one being the concept of a no-deal Brexit, and the other being "No deal" as an aspect of gameplay in Deal or No Deal. Although it is not specifically a title match, it does meet WP:DABMENTION. bd2412  T 02:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: I have added a third meaning: "No Deal", a song written by Townes Van Zandt and recorded on the 1983 Guy Clark album Better Days. bd2412  T 02:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Well done, dab has valid entries now, nom withdrawn. Widefox ; talk 09:06, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
