Silent fox signal → Silent fox gesture – The wording of the current title is barely ever used according to a web search. "Silent fox gesture" or just "Silent fox" appear to be way more common. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 14:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. RodRabelo7 (talk) 23:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, it appears to be the more common name, immediate search results turn up:

This would support a COMMONNAME move. I also think it's the more accurate (PRECISE) title. Bobby Cohn (talk) 00:02, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
