Fillet (redaction)Filleting (obfuscation) – Not a single source in the article proves that this technique has been observed or actually is called "fillet". I don't have authoritative literature by the hand to prove it either, but it seems to exist. However, WP:COMMONTITLE should be the verb's gerund here: "filleting" rather than "fillet". Found a single source that supports my expectation: [1]. Finally, the disambiguator "obfuscation" is closer to descibing what filleting actually represents. I'm fine with any reasonable outcome, though, if others have access to more relevant literature. PanchoS (talk) 23:27, 21 November 2015 (UTC) Relisted.

  • Oppose as a rather obscure, uncommon (and maybe unused) disambiguator. However, if the term may be useful for searches, I have no opposition to it being created as a redirect to the current title. Steel1943 (talk) 03:06, 2 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • As I said, I'm open for other reasonable proposals regarding the disambiguator, though "redaction" doesn't seem all too descriptive nor concise, as "filleting" in this sense isn't exclusively used in redaction.
    IMHO not really debatable is however, that the main term needs to be "Filleting", a gerund (= verbal noun) describing the technique, rather than "fillet" (either an infinitive, then unencyclopedic; or a possible term for the result of the technique, then both unmentioned and unsourced).
