Title was previously a redirect to each of the two entries in this dab, neither of which are close matches to the title. I don't think this is a valid dab, "cookin" may be slang for "cooking" but that is beyond the purpose of dab pages. I think this should be returned to a redirect to the album MB 02:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, the article was created in 2006 as a redirect to the album, which is reasonable because the album is often referred to that way. In 2010 the article was changed to a redirect to Cooking, which seems kind of pointless. When I searched for Cookin yesterday and landed on Cooking, I wasn't happy, since I was looking for the album. In deference to the 2010 editor, however, I turned the page into a dab, rather than just reverting it to a redirect to the album. Eleuther (talk) 03:46, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't noticed this. Redirecting to Cookin' is even better. MB 04:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I hadn't noticed it either. Eleuther (talk) 04:32, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Cookin'. Could @MB: just withdraw this AfD and make the redirect, as everyone who has contributed so far agrees it's the thing to do, to save time all round? PamD 08:39, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
