This is a procedural nomination due to an AfD being opened on this redirect. The nomination rationale from AfD was as follows:
 * I think the article should better be restored; but this redirect is not helpful in any way and worse than nothing. KnightMove (talk) 17:07, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

I am neutral. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 18:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. The original article was turned into a redirect in 2008 following consensus at Articles for deletion/Duck face. At the time the term "duck face" was mentioned in the Gurn article, but it has since been removed. I think the removal happened in 2011 for lack of reliable sourcing, but the edit history is very messy so it's not easy to be certain. A quick look at google shows it to be a widely used term, but whether it's the same thing as gurning I'm not sure. If it is, a sourced reference should be added to Gurn. If it isn't, then I doubt (but haven't looked enough to be certain) that it could support an article, and so a soft redirect to Wiktionary would be better. That said there are also it seems minor characters in Four Weddings and a Funeral and a couple of sitcoms with the nickname "Duckface" or "Duck face", so if any of them are mentioned significantly in their articles a disambiguation page might be supportable.

 * To clear this point: A duck face is a special kind of a gurn. --KnightMove (talk) 17:10, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
