Is this really needed? "Dick Vein" isn't mentioned in the Snickers article, and if that's removed it becomes disambiguation of nothing at all - i.e. G14. casualdejekyll 19:22, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: "Dick vein" is a completely reasonable search term and the disambiguation page has multiple legitimate targets. There are lots of references in reliable sources for the term, for example: <https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/snickers-dick-vein-dont-let-this-flop-podcast-1343163/> and <https://thetakeout.com/why-everyone-loves-the-snickers-dick-vein-according-1848824116>. If anything, the Snickers article, which already mentions "dick vein" in a citation, should probably be edited to include an explicit mention of the term. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:27, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Dorsal veins of the penis, with a note in the article about the Snickers hoax (which is entirely premised on the apparent similarity between the anatomical feature and the texture of the candy bar). BD2412 T 19:55, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I can't see the utility in having it here, it's at best a meme. Oaktree b (talk) 19:57, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Oaktree b. I'm not sure I understand your comment. Wikipedia has extensive coverage of Internet memes. Here are some examples from 2007: Category:Internet memes introduced in 2007. I'm not sure that "dick vein" is a meme, but even agreeing to that, Wikipedia documents notable memes. The coverage in multiple reliable sources points to at least inclusion here. I don't think "dick vein" has yet reached the point of warranting a standalone article, however, unlike Dramatic Chipmunk. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:32, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
that's what I meant, it's only recently been a meme and isn't notable enough yet for an article, if it makes it there at all. Oaktree b (talk) 23:23, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect This isn't a proper disambiguation, people aren't searching 'dick vein' looking for the snickers article. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 19:58, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this. CT55555 (talk) 20:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Dorsal veins of the penis. Personally I don't think a note in the article about the snickers hoax started by a Twitter user is even worth including.Hey man im josh (talk) 16:41, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggested; the Snickers thing is already well covered there. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Dorsal veins of the penis. It seems fully reasonable to have a redirect from the commonplace name to the technical name, but having this as a disambiguation page makes little sense given that the veins themselves are clearly the primary topic. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 22:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
