don't make no nevermind

Don't make no nevermind is a redirect to nevermind created by a now blocked user. While it's not in my working vocabulary, the phrase does not seem to be the same as nevermind according to definitions I found. It would be better to delete the redirect and turn it back into a red link in the requested/English page. (I also think it would be nice to have a definition for working vocabulary.)

Specifically, created by an alt of you-know-who. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 20:53, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Is working vocabulary a synonym of active vocabulary (a blue link)? PUC – 21:26, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Apparently so. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 21:39, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

To me it's just gobbledygook. DonnanZ (talk) 21:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Are you speaking of working vocabulary, or don't make no nevermind? PUC – 23:27, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm not much of a fan of automatic redirects at all. I think they can discombobulate users. I'm not familiar with this expression, but according to the quotations at nevermind, it seems to be just one of a number of possible phrasings that incorporate the broad meaning of "consequence" or "difference", e.g. also "[don't] mean no nevermind", "[don't] make any nevermind", "don't make a heap of nevermind", and presumably others ad lib. I don't know whether "don't make no nevermind" is sufficiently distinguished to desrve its own entry. Mihia (talk) 18:01, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Don't make no nevermind is the only phrase I know from my sleeping vocab that uses the word nevermind, with irregular non-third person agreement. I am very familiar with it as a type of hillbillyism. However, in OED they mention make/pay no nevermind, and have a citation for "ain't no nevermind", so perhaps our headword should be no nevermind. In any case, a simple redirect does not suffice. - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 09:31, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Delete. Used to hear variations of this all the time on TV in previous times. "Don't give me none of your nevermind" (Don't give me shit). "What are you doing coming in here dressed like nevermind" (Why are you dressed like shit) Facts707 (talk) 03:07, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Many options, but no one spoke in support of the redirect, so it's gone. DAVilla 19:41, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
