I have set decoy pool (the retronymic name for the original meaning) as a redirect to here. If the page needs to be split in future (it doesn't need it now) that section should be moved there. Thryduulf 10:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
How are duck decoys used in modern hunting? -- Gbleem 22:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Despite the (at least recently) steady flow of edits (50 in the last 3 years) to the accompanying article (
started in December 2003), i find it to be a seriously neglected article: The corresponding Dab page
Decoy (disambiguation) lists, with one exception, things bearing "Decoy" as their
proper name, while the pretended primary-topic page has no single topic but rather multiple topics involving the cluster of things called "decoys" by virtue of their serving the function of decoying. (
Decoy (chess) is the only obvious exception, appearing on the Dab page -- perhaps in deliberate defiance of the erroneous trend among editors of the Dab page, but perhaps bcz it is clearer that the chess decoy is a tactic, not the object used to decoy the opponent.)
(I'm skeptical that an encyclopedic article can be written on the topic of
Decoying, identifying the element -- perhaps the decoyer's insight that superficial resemblance can precipitate ill-founded relaxation of vigiliance -- that would justify treating
Decoy's content as constituting a single topic!)
IMO a
bold merger of the Dab into
Decoy as the [equal-]disambiguation page, would be justified; the existing
Decoy prose would need moving into separate articles about the various types of decoying. Speak up here if you see it differently.
