Does not appear to be a notable, encyclopedic topic in its own right. Consists almost entirely of a dictionary definition, and already exists on Wiktionary at wikt:head fake. Nearly an A5 speedy delete, but for the lack of prior discussion. Ibadibam (talk) 18:44, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom or possibly redirect to Feint. Nobody's discoursed at length on the subject, so it fails WP:GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:25, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep Very much a dueled meaning term with significant coverage in regards to the market. More sources can be added. [http://www.cnbc.com/id/48706006 CNBC], [http://business.nbcnews.com/_news/2011/10/25/8468383-google-interest-in-yahoo-might-be-head-fake NBC News], just two of many.

  • Keep This is covered in detail in numerous books about sports such as Coaching Youth Soccer and Football End Play. It also appears in the Last Lecture. Andrew (talk) 16:47, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Do you have access to these materials, and if so, could you use them to expand the article? Ibadibam (talk) 17:53, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment as nominator - There may be enough sourced material to develop a meaningful article on the sports meaning of the term, similar to layup. If we reach that point, would it make sense to have a section "As a metaphor" that discusses the financial and philosophical analogies? Ibadibam (talk) 17:53, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep as a business term and tactic, a political term and tactic, and an athletic move, this supersedes being merely a dictionary definition. Sources about the topic include:
