It has been suggested that the content of the page this talk page accompanies should not be a separate article on the wiki.

  • Please discuss below whether the content of the page should have its own article. Remember to consider ways the content could be brought up to the wiki's standards before making this determination.

If it is decided that the content should not have its own article, then the following additional issues need to be addressed:

  • Whether to merge the content with another page or remove it entirely.
  • Whether to redirect the leftover page or delete it outright.

I'm with anonny on this one. The concept is too vague and at least partially covered in Ages of Characters. And, frankly, of the three examples on the page, none really strike me as "confusion" of any sort (the best I can say is the word "kids" in the slumber party example, if you take it too literally). If you really wanted to keep this page, L.U.R.N. would be far and away a better example than any of these, as would Marzipan's letter in A Decemberween Mackerel. --Jay (Talk) 02:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
