The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the two pages included in this move request; if other moves are desired, please propose them separately. Dekimasuよ! 22:05, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anchovy (food) → Anchovies as food
Sardine (food) → Sardines as food

– It isn't as if the food and the fish are two different things. I am amenable to other suggestions. --Relisted. —innotata 04:40, 30 September 2014 (UTC) Srnec (talk) 22:36, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support in principle But why pluralize? Timmyshin (talk) 11:33, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is sold under plural titles such as "Anchovies" or "Anchovy fillets" Gregkaye ✍♪ 09:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weakly oppose -- Pages such as Chicken (food) and Fish (food) seem to use the parenthetical disambiguation -- while I don't disagree with the nomination in theory I think keeping a general pattern is important. Perhaps a larger discussion could be held at a more central location about which form is preferred.--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:34, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Fish (food) would be better as Fish as food along with all the other related fish as food articles. There are many related articles that can be found on the {{seafood}} template. As the main contributor to these seafood articles I have always been in favour of this move, but have always been opposed, for no particular reason, by editors who don't contribute to these articles. --Epipelagic (talk) 05:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support as Epipelagic Gregkaye ✍♪ 09:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:NATURAL and per typical disambiguation style. Wikipedia normally uses a parenthetical to disambiguate distinct entities that share the same name (e.g., dart (missile), Dart (comics) and Dart (surname), or tap (valve), tap (transformer) and Tap (film)). However, this is not the case here. Anchovies as food is a subset of anchovy, not a different meaning of the word. You can also assume my support of any other similar moves. — AjaxSmack 01:31, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support to use natural titles. If other pages have the same problem, move them. —innotata 06:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cut bait[edit]

Fishermen use anchovies as fish bait for larger fish, such as tuna and sea bass.

Is this needed in "anchovies as food" when there is already an "anchovy" article? — MaxEnt 06:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
