Merge with Chinky
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I propose merging
Chinky into
Chink. The word is used as slur worldwide. The section
Chink#United Kingdom should discuss the British usage to mean 'Chinese takeaway', once common but increasingly viewed as equally offensive. — Preceding

Support - The word "chinky" is only notable because of its relation to the ethnic slur. It would not have an article otherwise. It is not needed to have an article just to say it is not a slur in one context. See
WP:POVFORK..

The article now says it is a slur. So why a separate article.
Richard-of-Earth (

Oppose used in a quite different way, with different issues.
Graeme Bartlett (

However this word has the same entomology. It is the same word from different dialects. They both refer to things regarding the Chinese.
Richard-of-Earth (

Oppose The two terms mean completely different things. I believe that it's best that we keep them separate.

Oppose They aren't related that closely. I don't see why there needs to be any merge.

Support - "The two terms mean completely different things" No, they don't. They are both a slur for East Asian people. The only reason why the word "chinky" is primarily used to refer to Chinese takeaways is because Chinese takeaways are very often the only times that people who use racial slurs in the UK actually come into contact with East Asian people. The same people will also use the term "chinky" to refer to East Asians in general on the rare times they encounter them outside of Chinese takeaways. The same kind of people also refer to convenience stores run by South Asians as "the pakis" or "paki shop", but they will also use the term "paki" to refer to South Asians in general.

Oppose The two terms have different usage. Chinky can be used to refer to Asian food, and the term Chink Seal evidently refers to sealant which is apparently used to seal the chinks in log housing. whatever said chinks are, I highly doubt it refers to people from China.

Neither article mentions "chink seal". A "chink" (lowercase "c") can be a gap in something and is a word derived from Old English, This is a
homophone, but that is not what the articles address. Both these article "
Chink" and
Chinky" (both with capital "c"s) address a word derived from words referring to East Asians or parts of their culture.

Comment None of the oppose !votes address the
WP:POVFORK issue and these articles should be merged regardless of !vote counts.
Richard-of-Earth (

Support there are nuances, but these can be adequately covered in one article. There is no need for two separate articles for different uses of essentially the same slur. — Preceding

Requested move 30 April 2023

The result of the move request was: Procedural close. The undiscussed bold move has been reverted, so this RM is now moot. Alternative proposals can be made in separate RMs if desired. —

Chink (slur) →
Chink – Moved without discussion, and without sufficient evidence that it is primary over
Fracture in terms of encyclopedic significance. In particular, Fracture does not mention the term. If this move is upheld, then
Chink (disambiguation) will need to be moved to the base title. –

Disambiguate move the disambiguation page to the base location. --
