Hooks
Yes, hooks certainly exist (in DWU). But should there be a page for them? They are an ordinary object like buttons, hangers, floors, etc. I would say, unless hooks are used in some especially timey-wimey way, there is little reason to make an article about them. I don't think it's a coincidence that no one has created Hook yet. Amorkuz ☎ 00:19, May 14, 2017 (UTC)
- Well, according to Tardis:Wikify wisely, "as long as the noun is mentioned in a valid source, an article can be written about it". There's two likely reasons an article about hooks hasn't been made yet: no one stumbled across it in a valid source, or didn't feel like creating it. The policy even goes on the exemplify there's no such thing as a object being "too mundane": Glasses. So I see no harm on doing one for hooks, as long as they are used. Specially if we think about hook variants, such as fishing hooks, etc. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 00:26, May 14, 2017 (UTC)
- Cmon man, I created rain. I created Tupperware. I've made a pages on washing up and f'ckn washing-up liquid. Not everyone is prepared to work on such articles, but they are absolutely valid options to make. I'm sure hooks have been used in interesting ways in some devices. Even if it was simply a page describing different uses for hooks, with sources, that would be a valid article, and it might get expanded on in the future.
