Clue (information) → Clue – Clear primary topic for Clue. GilaMonster536 (talk) 21:42, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose WP:DICDEF that doesn't really cover a coherent encyclopedic topic and was only barely kept as no consensus at AfD. Can't be the primary topic if there is no topic. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:46, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I am still unconvinced that it's a viable WP:BROADCONCEPT article. It overlaps too strongly with Evidence to be its own article. Clues are in essence evidence and I am not sure what differentiates the two. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There's a pretty strong case to redirect Clue to Cluedo. I probably would have voted delete at the AFD - this article appears to WP:CFORK Evidence. 162 etc. (talk) 17:41, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This article should probably be deleted for reasons stated above. Per Wikinav[1] and Pageviews[2] both Cluedo and Clue (film) are the articles most people are searching for.--MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 00:34, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Pageviews aren't always a good metric for a primary topic, though. For example, Dune (franchise) exceeds dune in pageviews. GilaMonster536 (talk) 00:13, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This article is a clear case of WP:CHIMERA, and shouldn't have survived AfD. There's not really a meaningful premise here beyond "here are some ways you can use the word 'clue'". What's the encyclopedic overlap between "evidence at a crime scene" and "saying 'but anyway' when talking to someone" beyond the WP:DICDEF? Nohomersryan (talk) 05:11, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
