Black Friday (hoax) → Black Friday etymology hoax – Avoiding a parenthetical, while simultaneously making it clearer that this is about the etymology of the term "Black Friday", not about Black Friday itself.

Support alternate move to Black Friday name hoax, as an easier-to-understand title for the layperson. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:42, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support for being clearer, preferring "etymology hoax". --Belbury (talk) 09:26, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article is essentially orphaned, and may be a candidate for WP:AFD per WP:NOTNEWS. 162 etc. (talk) 16:00, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. No objection to alternatives such as Black Friday name hoax or Black Friday origin hoax. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 19:24, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Seems there are two proposals that have support: "Black Friday etymology hoax" and "Black Friday name hoax". Relisting for better consensus Jeffrey34555 (talk) 02:57, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
