Example
Does the crappy "example of white space" make any sense, anyway? (

Not really. Feel free to ditch it. —

Not a bad little article, but could use pictures as example, as in the referenced site. It might be nice to have some historical or cross-cultural info, too.
merge or explain the difference
What is the difference between white space and negative space? If there's none, then perhaps a merge with the article
negative_space—Preceding

Mild support; I'm tempted to agree here, as "whitespace" referring to the character is almost always spelled as one word. I'd like to see
whitespace redirect there, in fact.

So 1,428 of those 3,818 views came through the
Whitespace redirect; they shouldn't count when determining primary topic for
White space. That leaves 2,390 compared to 1,872, which is much closer.
PowersT 23:40, 10 January 2011 (UTC)reply
No the view counts are separate. If you look at the
Whitespace views there is a massive spike on Dec 21 that you do not see for
White space. The total number of people going to the page is 3818+1428+plus any other redirects.

Oppose ; as a member of the general audience (i.e. not especially interested in art) it's not at all obvious to me, and I would say the meaning best suited to being the primary topic is 'whitespace' in text, though that may be my background. That one meaning is derivative of another does not determine the primary topic: usually it makes both candidates for inclusion on the DAB page unless one is much more common than the other.--

It sounds like you're saying
Space (punctuation) is the primary topic for
White space. Would you clarify whether or not that's what you mean? --

'whitespace' for me is the space between text in programming languages (my day job), HTML and similar, i.e. it's made up of spaces, tabs, sometimes carriage return/linefeed. I.e. the content of
Whitespace character is for me the primary topic, but that does relate to my own interests and profession.--

Sounds like you're part of the technical computing audience. --

Oppose most certainly NOT the primary topic. The whitspace character would be that. The technical whitespace radio spectrum would be more likely for an encyclopedia.

Oppose. Page composition is a worthy specialty, but it's as much a specialty as radio.
