• Anonymouse (collective) → Anonymouse

– The existing title Anonymouse has been a redirect to Open proxy since 2009. It is ostensibly about http://anonymouse.org, however that isn't mentioned anywhere in the article it redirects to so I doubt that keeping it as a redirect and disambiguating the article about the art collective is the best solution. I think this topic here should be moved to Anonymouse and the redirect's history can be moved to Anonymouse.org (and then listed at RfD maybe, since not mentioned at the target?); perhaps a hatnote can be added here paraphrasing "this ia about the Swedish art collective, not about anonymouse.org the open proxy service" (although I'm not sure if even that is justified...)

• Oppose IMO, Anonymouse should be redirected to Anonymous as an R from Misspelling, leaving this page where it is._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 11:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

FWIW, this was done and reverted in 2010 as well but it's certainly a plausible suggestion! Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 11:48, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose, it's very clear in books that [the redirect is the main subject] like our Hurricane redirect. The WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT as now is working, but would also support redirect Anonymouse to Anonymous dab page as misspelling. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:46, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose having the anonymous Swedish artists collective as the primary topic for Anonymouse, as it does not meet WP:PRIMARYTOPIC or WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT criteria. However, I would be supportive of having Anonymouse redirect to Anonymous as a misspelling or alternative usage per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, as Anoymouse does't just refer to an open proxy but can refer to both anonymity in general and the hacktavist group Anonymous.
