Spite store

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The term "spite store" is not covered by multiple independent reliable sources in a significant way and is thus a non-notable neologism. However, it is mentioned as a plot point in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. As such, this page should be turned into a redirect to List_of_Curb_Your_Enthusiasm_episodes, where it is mentioned. I am bringing this to AfD in light of this RfC as a bold WP:BLAR was contested. —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 17:43, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to List of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes per nom; WP:BLAR contests have not provided any evidence of notability as per WP:BURDEN, which also reek of WP:DICDEF and WP:FANCRUFT. Redirection allows those searching for the term to see where it came from. Jalen Folf   (talk)  21:15, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * "Redirection allows those searching for the term to see where it came from." What does that mean? Fxmastermind (talk) 16:21, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Rather than argue, the obvious solution is to redirect to The Spite Store, which will redirect to a page that doesn't explain anything. There is a precedent for this already set. It's The Soup Nazi, which is exactly the same thing as The Spite Store. It's both a made up comedic term, and the title of the TV show, where the term is used repeatedly. That both are creations of the same writer, Larry David, should make this one obvious.  So just like The Soup Nazi, when somebody searches for The Spite Store, they redirected to a list of Seinfeld episodes, that doesn't explain anything. See?  There is already a history of how to handle these sort of things here.  No need to argue or fight over the matter.  Also I apologize if this format is wrong for a discussion page.  This is not something I usually do.  Fxmastermind (talk) 16:14, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * If this format is incorrect, it can be edited. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:14, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Now if I wanted to argue I would post a list of current articles discussing real life Spite Stores, as well as the exact same kinds of references that are used for The Soup Nazi redirect, as well as the convoluted argument about consistency in articles, what is considered notable, maybe even make some snide commentary about certain people not knowing about a subject they are trying to delete, but I'm sure that would all be an exercise in futility, based on past experience. Which is why I vote redirect.  Then the only issues is to do a double redirect?  Or just directly to the article that doesn't help?  I think we all know the answer already.

 * This page --> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soup_nazi&direction=prev&oldid=66843745 may serve as an example of how to resolve the matter. Soup Nazi is both a term, as well as a title of an episode. The Soup Nazi The eventual destination of the redirects explains that --> "The Soup Nazi is also the nickname of the eponymous character, Yev Kassem," .... which is the goal of Spite Store.  It should explain that the term is both a title, and a subject of the show.  Unlike the Soup Nazi, the Spite Store is a vehicle for much of the season, not just one episode.  None of this is explained in the list of episodes.  And the redirect does not go the the episode name The Spite Store, which is the other problem.  Fxmastermind (talk) 16:28, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I just noticed Spite Store and Spite store are different. I am going to fix that problem right now. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:30, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect I don't see the need for this type of article, particularly since its unsourced. Redirect seems to be ideal.   scope_creep Talk  08:44, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I am noting there has been no reply, no discussion of any of the points raised. I'm sure this comment is the wrong format, but since it's just us three here, how important is it? (by us three, I mean it's just three people that have posted here so far)Fxmastermind (talk) 02:57, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
