This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:00, 10 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Jack Andersen Genre Theory in Information Studies 2015 p.145 "McLane (2010) argues that balladeering is a general term that defines a loosely connected but strongly hierarchized network, encompassing everything from the singing, making, inventing, forging, collecting, transcribing, sifting, and editing to the printing of ballads” (McLane, 2010, p.247)"

  • Support. Wikipedia is WP:NOTADICTIONARY. There is no other topic on WP called "Balladeering". And Balladeer itself is just a short disambiguation page. Why make Balladeering a redirect to a dab page when we have an actual article with content at that title? Also - since this article was recently moved without discussion, a no consensus result here means a revert to the previous status quo. Dohn joe (talk) 15:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
But we have an article, what's the issue? Ballad isn't that an article? Looks like an article to me. Why is Balladeering not part of Ballad or Balladeer? Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary doesn't mean topics have to be titles. See hurricane as the classic example. Would we have Hurricane be an article about a trivial subject or a redirect?
