Already largely exists at reef knot. Delete & redirect? (Also, the "Techniques" section may be relevant to the other article...) ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 18:37, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Despite being very similar, a shoelace knot is distinctly different to a reef knot in the way that it is tied and untied. I believe the methods of tying a shoelace knot can be expanded, meriting the shoelace knot an article of it's own. Since many people tie a shoelace knot every day, documenting the various methods of tying the knot is very important. --George Makepeace (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After rereading both articles, I agree with the author. Sorry. Withdrawn ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 18:54, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Whilst I agree that the knot is notable and would have !voted keep of the nomination had not already been withdrawn, I think there is a little tidying up to do. Specifically, this article duplicates the subject already at Shoelaces#Shoelace_tying, and some links to Reef knot should now direct to this page inclding, but probably not limited to, the Bow knot redirect.
