 * It should redirect to another article, probably the song. It was originally redirected to Tar paper, which is still given as an alternative meaning in the article, but that seems to be just a suggestion for what the term can refer to and probably isn't verifiable.

 * Actually, if interwiki redirects are possible, we could simply redirect to the wiktionary page. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 04:57, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's possible, but not necessary if there is an article it can be redirected to. Peter E. James (talk) 13:04, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, so the consensus appears to redirect this article to Little Boxes. I have already changed the wikilink to "ticky-tacky" in that article to a transwiki one, so it doesn't point to itself. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 16:59, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Encyclopedias deal with nouns, this is an adjective. Unless, of course, one is inclined to buy the idea that the unsourced Urban Dictionary-style reference to the sludge at the bottom of a pot pipe as "ticky tacky" is a notable neologism and encyclopedia-worthy topic — which I don't. A dictionary definition with an urban dictionary definition attached. Carrite (talk) 00:36, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete this is simply a word not a larger concept.Thisbites (talk) 00:45, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - It isn't just a term, it does represent a larger concept. It represents an era in the massive post-war Baby Boom. The article can be expanded to include historical origin and will make a good article. Malke 2010 (talk) 02:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Little Boxes. There's not enough to justify a separate article, what needs to be said is already said in Little Boxes. Andrew Oakley (talk) 09:10, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
