The Stymies
[edit]This Cambridge club should be given its own page as it has got only a tenuous link i.e. the name to the ancient rule of golf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.238.166 (talk) 23:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

– It does not appear to be evident that the archaic golf rule has greater historical prominence than the combined notability of the remaining entries at the Stymie (disambiguation) page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:00, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The only other article is Stymie (horse) and this article gets 4 times the pageviews. - Station1 (talk) 06:33, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, especially regarding long-term significance. Many people typing in "Stymie" will be interested in the origin of the word, which is the golfing term. Nigej (talk) 10:31, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. Very obviously the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. wjematherplease leave a message... 11:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:07, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- The first two pages of https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=stymie seem not to mention golf at all, it's mostly about typography? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=stymie+font&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1 seems to indicate that there's some disjointed coverage of that here, too. In general, wikt:stymie also factors into the picture, even if WP:NOTDICT, it certainly seems like the claim of primary topic is moot at best. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:24, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- I count at least 10 different references to golf on the first two pages of that first link. Station1 (talk) 19:51, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
