Shoelace knot

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Already largely exists at reef knot. Delete & redirect? (Also, the "Techniques" section may be relevant to the other article...) ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 18:37, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Despite being very similar, a shoelace knot is distinctly different to a reef knot in the way that it is tied and untied. I believe the methods of tying a shoelace knot can be expanded, meriting the shoelace knot an article of it's own. Since many people tie a shoelace knot every day, documenting the various methods of tying the knot is very important. --George Makepeace (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * After rereading both articles, I agree with the author. Sorry. Withdrawn ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 18:54, 23 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. Whilst I agree that the knot is notable and would have !voted keep of the nomination had not already been withdrawn, I think there is a little tidying up to do. Specifically, this article duplicates the subject already at Shoelaces, and some links to Reef knot should now direct to this page inclding, but probably not limited to, the Bow knot redirect.
