I propose merging Chinky into Chink. The word is used as slur worldwide. The section Chink#United Kingdom should discuss the British usage to mean 'Chinese takeaway', once common but increasingly viewed as equally offensive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.51.141.64 (talk)
Support - The word "chinky" is only notable because of its relation to the ethnic slur. It would not have an article otherwise. It is not needed to have an article just to say it is not a slur in one context. See WP:POVFORK.. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 14:27, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - "The two terms mean completely different things" No, they don't. They are both a slur for East Asian people. The only reason why the word "chinky" is primarily used to refer to Chinese takeaways is because Chinese takeaways are very often the only times that people who use racial slurs in the UK actually come into contact with East Asian people. The same people will also use the term "chinky" to refer to East Asians in general on the rare times they encounter them outside of Chinese takeaways. The same kind of people also refer to convenience stores run by South Asians as "the pakis" or "paki shop", but they will also use the term "paki" to refer to South Asians in general.WP:POVFORK..

Oppose The two terms have different usage. Chinky can be used to refer to Asian food, and the term Chink Seal evidently refers to sealant which is apparently used to seal the chinks in log housing. whatever said chinks are, I highly doubt it refers to people from China. 98.178.191.34 (talk) 06:30, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Neither article mentions "chink seal". A "chink" (lowercase "c") can be a gap in something and is a word derived from Old English, This is a homophone, but that is not what the articles address. Both these article "Chink" and Chinky" (both with capital "c"s) address a word derived from words referring to East Asians or parts of their culture.

The result of the move request was: Procedural close. The undiscussed bold move has been reverted, so this RM is now moot. Alternative proposals can be made in separate RMs if desired. — Amakuru (talk) 08:43, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Also apparently a potential name for the common pheasant, where it is mentioned. I support moving the disambiguation to primary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
