Request to remove redirect to to "Snifflefic"

I want to propose to remove the current redirects for both Sickfic and Sick fic to Snifflefic because Sickfic is term/trope/fan fiction category which is used in myriads of fandoms and has been for years. currently list 13561 with that tag while Snifflefic produces 3 hits, Sick! Fic 4. The article for Snifflefic is a glorified stub as well...so we either want to rename/merge sniffle fic to Sickfic or leave snifflefic as specific sub-genre of sickfic and hurt/comfort and built a proper page for Sickfic?

Wow, yeah, sickfic should definitely have its own page and it's bizarre that it doesn't — I guess I've probably linked to it, seen that the link is blue, and never checked the article. I don't think there's any harm in letting snifflefic stay because MPH made the page in 2011 and I assume she's seen the term used in zines or single-fandom archives or some other place off of AO3? So maybe we can find some stuff to add on to the page to explain where it's used if not AO3? But "sickfic" should be its own big page for sure. - Hoopla (talk) 14:14, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't think snifflefic is all that widely used. I'd be happy to have it be section of sickfic. --MPH (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
