Slotted spoon
Dicdef. Content could easily go into Spoon. Klaw ¡digame! 23:59, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * A redirect to spoon is the way to go in this situation. CDC (talk) 00:18, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, encyclopedic topic, failing that merge/redirect. Kappa 00:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete; not even a dicdef. Tom Harrison (talk) 03:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect.... though delete would be OK too.  Jamie 04:06, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Obvious merge to spoon, which already has a list of various subtypes; the bare "slotted spoon" entry there is just begging for this one-liner's content. &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 07:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. A slotted spoon is called a spork. No need for a redirect. &bull;DanMS 21:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. A slotted spoon isn't a spork; it's a spoon with holes in it to allow the chef to hold solid foods in the spoon while the cooking liquid drains off. GIS for slotted spoon | Klaw ¡digame! 21:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and please read the relevant articles before voting. Wikipedia also has Wooden spoon and this is about as notable.  Slotted spoons serve a specific use in cooking.  These are preparation utensils, not sporks.  The format of the current Spoon article would reworking in order to redirect. Durova 03:51, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Wooden spoons have a long history which allowed that article to develop into a full-length entry. I use slotted spoons all the time, but I don't see slotted spoon ever going beyond stub status. | Klaw ¡digame! 04:00, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment The slotted spoon has cultural significance as part of the traditional French absinthe ritual. I've rewritten the article and added external links to reflect this. Durova 04:48, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. -- JJay 22:24, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, important. Christopher Parham (talk) 15:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - real thing. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 06:16, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
