 * Delete. Cf. "keep someone under one's thumb". Equinox ◑ 15:38, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, with redirect to in the dark for anyone who types the "keep someone" part. Why such algorithmic disparities between keep someone in the loop, "keep someone under one's thumb," keep someone on their toes, and "keep someone in stitches," etc.? (Merriam-Webster has keep someone in the picture but not keep someone in the dark - just in the dark w/o a redirect. ) --Kent Dominic (talk) 19:05, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree that we should restrict the full dictionary entry to the minimum element that bears the relevant meaning, but also provide help for those who type longer forms. I dislike automatic redirects. I would be happier with a message that says e.g. "See in the dark", but without the paraphernalia of a full entry. Mihia (talk) 19:48, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No redirect necessary, just delete. DAVilla 13:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
