Nickname[edit]

Does “The house that Freddy built” really need to be in bold? It's not like it's a commonly used nickname. 2A00:23C6:4C95:BB01:5D58:BFC8:157A:D72A (talk) 16:43, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's in bold because it's a redirect linked to this article (i.e. people searching for that phrase would end up at this article), so apparently at some point someone(s) must have felt it was commonly-used enough to merit the redirect. If you disagree, I'd recommend initiating a WP:RFD. That said, the claim itself was tagged for needing a source in September, so if no source is provided then at some point the statement and the boldfacing will likely be removed in any case.
