Talk:Retroactively amended purchase: Difference between revisions
Add topicm Mingyee moved page Talk:Retroactively amended experiences to Talk:Retroactively amended purchase: This was originally “retroactive amended purchase experience”. It was renamed to avoid an appearance of impropriety and juvenility. The new article title, however, does not accurately reflect the content. It is not an experience that has been amended, but the purchase (whose amendment the consumer experiences this). |

I move that [[Retroactively amended experiences]] be deleted rather than a redirect. The title "retroactively amended experience" is nonsense. It was an attempt to fix the problem mentioned above, which I later corrected to the current [[Retroactively amended purchase]] by moving the page. At the moment, though, moving pages makes a redirect rather than simply renaming the page. There are also no remaining links to "retroactively amended experience", anyway.[[User:Mingyee|Mingyee]] ([[User talk:Mingyee|talk]]) 10:52, 17 January 2025 (UTC) | |||

If it is deleted, we lose the history. I agree that there are too many articles of the same topic, but think merge and then change to redirect might be more useful than delete. (But I am not going to appeal it, as long as this winds up a redirect to whichever article we pick to be the final.)

I suggest a move and title change for this page - let's move away from the edgy analogies. (ok - have been informed that this is one that Louis has used. In that case, it's still not appropriate for an article title, but a section within the article can describe it as a popular coloquial term, and highlight why the comparison is made, and reference https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=R(etroactively)+A(mended)+P(urchase)+E(xperience)
Also, this comes across as a bit of a chatgpt dump. -Keith

Why not merge instead of deleting
[edit source]If it is deleted, we lose the history. I agree that there are too many articles of the same topic, but think merge and then change to redirect might be more useful than delete. (But I am not going to appeal it, as long as this winds up a redirect to whichever article we pick to be the final.) Drakeula (talk) 05:50, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
