Pretty much the same thing as Bandwagon Technique.

What name should stay? Is there a place for both?

Opening, as Bandwagon Fallacy also has a "Not Thriving" issue, and it has only two examples, both general. Plus, its header isn't properly styled.

Thus, I vote we cut Fallacy, and move whatever wick fits Technique.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

I say Fallacy should be merged into Technique and the technical information ought to be moved to Analysis.Band Wagon Technique.

Merge with Bandwagon Technique, but the current Bandwagon Fallacy page should be reworked into an Analysis page for Bandwagon Technique as suggested above.

I vote merge, but I'm inclined to use Bandwagon Fallacy as the final name rather than Bandwagon Technique due to being a preexisting term: a couple brief Google searches say "bandwagon fallacy" is sometimes used out in the world, or it's called plain "bandwagon", but "bandwagon technique" not so much.

[up]As am I. I think we should also go with ADrago's suggestion to rework Bandwagon Fallacy's current text into an Analysis page for the merged trope.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

This indicates a bit of an issue with the Logical Fallacies index in that many of the items on it may duplicate or cross over with tropes, and the style of the fallacies articles is substantially different from the style of trope articles.

In other words, the fallacy pages are off-mission and expendable. If we really want to put in the effort, maybe a Fallacies namespace could be created, but it isn't really our purpose.

OK, this is now stale. Closing.
