The term "Fofty" doesn't appear a single time in 50 Cent, so it makes no sense. Instead, it should be a redirect to 50 (number) as a potential typo of Fifty (which is a redirect there) DannyS712 (talk) 19:53, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
:Redirecting to 50 (number) might "make sense", as you put it, to anyone who had not cracked a single source of popular media over the last week. At this moment, Googling for "Fofty" (in quotes) yields "About 982,000 results". Maybe some other brave Wikipedian will one day track down one of those 982,000 hits and update 50 Cent accordingly? Right now, Fofty has 21 pageviews. These were not typos, so let's serve our audience. --NoApostropheInIts (talk) 22:54, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Weak retarget to Nik Richie as a neologism that Richie is going to trademark. [https://pagesix.com/2019/05/01/nik-richie-launches-fofty-instagram-for-charity/] It's related to some feud said between 50 Cent and Randall Emmett but that feud was not elaborated upon in the 50 Cent article. Delete if that doesn't even show up on Richie's article in any significance. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:15, 3 May 2019 (UTC) updated 01:55, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- : Nothing's changed in the Richie article to cover this so recommending delete now. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:55, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

- Retarget to 50 (number) with {{tlp|R avoided double redirect|fifty}} added. Whatever the term means, it isn't mentioned at any of the above articles. Until there is an actual explanation for it (that is relevant enough to actually be retained at the article(s) in question), there is no reason for it to link there. - PaulT[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Psantora&action=edit +]/C 03:54, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. This isn't a typo for "fifty": read this: [https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephenlaconte/50-cent-lala-kent-randall-emmett-feud-vanderpump-rules]. If it's not worthy of mention in 50 Cent then delete it. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:38, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- : I understand that there is an actual meaning for the term, but it is not discussed anywhere on Wikipedia currently and it is a valid typo for "fifty" and should not be deleted. See WP:R#KEEP#2. - PaulT[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Psantora&action=edit +]/C 16:06, 18 May 2019 (UTC) Actually, after reading that article {{tq|a typo for "fifty"}} is exactly what the term is.

- ::Yes, I take the point, but we don't create redirects for likely typos (we don't have Fufty) so we don't need this one, especially if there's ambiguity in its meaning (WP:R#DELETE#2. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:49, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

- :::: This isn't a common typo though or alias like Fourty / Forty. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:55, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- ::::: It seems pretty common to me. On a QWERTY keyboard "i" and "o" are right next to each other. Seems like an easy mistake to make when typing quickly, especially on a touchscreen keyboard. The only reason we are even having this discussion is because someone meant to type "fifty" to 50 Cent but it came out as "fofty" on their iPhone keyboard. - PaulT[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Psantora&action=edit +]/C 23:37, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- Delete unless something about it is added to the 50 Cent article to show that it means him. As for typos, this is not necessarily a typo for "fifty"; it could equally well be a type for "forty". (I and O are next to each other on the keyboard, but so are R and F.) The typo is ambiguous and thus should not be redirected to either number. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:37, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- :I was waiting for someone to make that connection (re: forty/fofty/fifty r•f/o•i). There is potential for confusion, but that doesn't mean one isn't more likely than the other. The main argument for redirecting to 50 instead of 40 is the actual provenance of the 'word'. Another, less obvious point is that the typo is more likely to happen while trying to type "fifty" than "forty". Here is why. Typos are less likely to happen with letters in the home row and two different rows ("F" is in the home row "R" is not). Typos are more likely to happen among letters right next to each other in the same non-home row (like "O" and "I" are). If you are aiming for "R" and your fingers "know" they need to move up (after having just typed "F"), you will be less likely to hit "F" again than the potential ambiguity between "I" and "O" being right next to each other. Admittedly, this is a very obscure, opinionated (though I would argue not dogmatic) point and doesn't change the fact that a typo with "forty" can also turn into "fofty", but I do think one typo is more likely than the other. Anyway, just wanted to make the point in case someone brought up the r•f/o•i ambiguity. I will not belabor it. - PaulT[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Psantora&action=edit +]/C 22:14, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
