The article seems to describe a decent trope, but the title is misspelt, with the correct spelling as a redirect. I'd propose that the redirect and the actual article be switched around.

I'm guessing it's purposefully misspelt, playing on the fact that frequently it's vampires that have widow's peaks, and they often vill go vith vampy vords vhen they say vords that start vith "w".

That may be true, but it's ugly, sounds dumb, and isn't a vampire-centric trope. I'm in favor of swapping

We need to swap this. It does look like the triumph of 'clever' over everything else.

I made a single proposition crowner for swapping the name with its redirect here. Given how minor this change is, I do not think that an alternative titles crowner is really needed. Having a crowner at all may be unnecessary, but in any event, I support a swap since I do not believe that Villainous Vidows Peak's alliteration really makes the name more memorable.

I'm voting to make the properly-spelled redirect the title, and to cut the current title entirely...

I do have to agree that if the "clever" version isn't the main title, there's really no point to having at all.

58 incoming links is a reason to keep the old name around after a rename. Not a very strong one, I admit, but redirects are free.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

I'd say the consensus is pretty conclusive on this one. Anybody want to tackle this?

Just went through the job: switched the contents between the two titles, and have fixed the wicks.
