Hi
Good question...I'm not sure why this is marked as a YMMV page, either.

We opened another discussion! Now there are only 11 locked threads on the front page. Sweet.
Anyway...how is this even a page to begin with? Cut.

It's got 40 inbounds, so a cut isn't likely. It does need some crosswicking, though, once this thread figures out what to do with it.

I don't know, I have to wonder how "some sci-fi fans call themselves 'fens'" ever made it to a page in the first place.
But if we can't cut it, then sure, Useful Notes, because it certainly isn't a trope.
That page isn't really worth keeping. We could just redirect it to Fan.

Redirect. Even better idea.

Support redirect to Fan. Perhaps make a tiny note on that page about "fen".

Hi
Redirecting it to Fan seems reasonable.
It's a term definition page. We have many of them.

Excellent idea.

to redirecting and mentioning "fen" on the Fan page.

Fanspeak pages were apparently mass-moved to Audience Reactions or YMMV. This presumably got swept up in that. It might be useful to list this, and some other not-so-subjective fannish terms (e.g. FIAWOL and GAFIA), on the Fanspeak page directly, since they do appear in works. I don't see a lot of point in having a separate page for this, though, so a redirect to Fan seems reasonable.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Y'know, just to cover all our bases, I think we might need a page called "Stop Trying To Make Fetch Happen".
Bumping this. Are we in agreement about redirecting this one?

Do it.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
Done and tagged. Locking up.

Fen seems to be a useful note more than anything else. It's just a slang term for "fan". It's marked YMMV, but no page links to it as if it were a trope or YMMV article. There's nothing subjective about the term, so I don't see why it's in YMMV space to begin with.
