Wikipedia:Beer parlour


I'm a bit confused on how this page could be considered helpful in the terms of today's Wikipedia use. The page states that no such project of this name exists, but if that were the case, it would probably be better that this page be deleted so that not even the page exists. In addition, the page refers the reader to the page on Wiktionary, but since the page on Wiktionary is not a dictionary definition page, redirecting there could be seen as unhelpful and misleading since Wiktionary redirect would not technically work. Also, I'm not finding any reference that Village Pump is called "beer parlour" even in slang. (See updated rationale for why I struck this out. Steel1943  (talk) 23:43, 6 July 2016 (UTC)) With all this being said, I don't see the value of this page being a disambiguation page, so probably delete or very weak redirect to WikiProject Beer just because it has the word "beer" in it redirect to Village pump since Wiktionary:Village pump redirects to Wiktionary:Beer parlour on Wiktionary (which would help regulars on Wiktionary in the event they find their way onto this Wikipedia.)

 * Keep. Wiktionary's primary discussion forum is called the Beer parlour. A Wiktionary editor coming to Wikipedia might look for an analogous page here, and this will inform them of their options. bd2412  T 23:12, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I get that, but it's not a Wikipedia forum, so and editor confusing "Wikipedia:Beer parlour" for "Wiktionary:Beer parlour" is unlikely and even misleading to assume that readers will think that way. That, and if there are no analogous pages (as stated here), then this page really should be deleted so that Wikipedia's search function can help readers find what they are looking for. However, I did find that Wiktionary:Village pump redirects to Wiktionary:Beer parlour on Wiktionary, so at this point, I would support this page redirecting to Village pump in an effort to help readers familiar with Wiktionary become familiar with navigating Wikipedia.

 * That is not a terrible idea. bd2412  T 23:57, 6 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep as a soft redirect to Beer parlour. Proper Wikipedians would never go to a "beer parlour", that is obviously something for a Wiktionarian.  A mention of the Teahouse might be in order, but I am not sure Wikipedians wanting beer should be sent to the pumps.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:20, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Many Wikipedians are not proper, of course. bd2412  T 01:18, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Let them drink their beer from teacups. Each to their own, but we don't have a parlour. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:38, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep: This page seems very harmless and vaguely helpful, similar to a disambiguation page. --MZMcBride (talk) 04:06, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment/question: In the event that this discussion gets closed to "keep", is there any prejudice against converting the page to a disambiguation-styled page? Steel1943  (talk) 14:58, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * As long as it provides the relevant options. bd2412  T 02:51, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. No preference on the formatting. Newyorkbrad (talk) 00:18, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
