Cootie → Cootie (disambiguation) – Cootie should re-direct to The Game of Cootie, which everyone would expect to be titled simply Cootie. Georgia guy (talk) 19:06, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - "Cootie" is too easily confused with Cooties to make that the primary topic. Also, it's clear that the majority of people who are looking for "The Game of Cootie" just go straight to the article, so there is no pressing reason to make a redirect._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:10, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But everyone simply calls the game Cootie, right?? Georgia guy (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably, but per WP:NATURAL, it's better to call it The Game of Cootie than Cootie (board game)._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 01:08, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per Zxcvbnm. -- Netoholic @ 08:24, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:38, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why?? Everyone knows "Cootie" as a term for the bug game whose article is at The Game of Cootie, right?? Georgia guy (talk) 14:19, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Must be an American thing. I've never heard of it. It's probably pretty much what we in the UK call Beetle. It might be the primary topic in America (although even there I'd have thought there was no primary topic, given that cooties mean nits), but not elsewhere. Even we known what cooties are, although we don't generally use the term. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:46, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What do Brits usually think of as the primary meaning of Cootie?? Georgia guy (talk) 17:01, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Headlice. Although even that would be seen as an Americanism. We generally call them nits. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:51, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose mostly refers to cooties and lice, I would think. You'll need to show otherwise if you want this moved. —innotata 09:45, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
