 * The simple thing would be to simply make [[put lipstick on a pig]] a redirect or just delete it. DCDuring (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * If FLs don't have something that exactly corresponds to the noun, so much the worse for them. A see also in [[put lipstick on a pig]] could take them to a synonym or a Thesaurus entry. DCDuring (talk) 12:13, 5 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Given the existence of "like lipstick on a pig" (and probably other forms?) I think that lipstick on a pig should be the central form and put... should be the redirect. Equinox ◑ 12:34, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I've also made (apply) [[lipstick to a pig]] a redirect to [[lipstick on a pig]]. I tried some other possibilities like lipgloss/lip gloss and makeup and for, but didn't get enough hits. (I'd argue that more citations should be required from redirects than for lemmas, because they are solely for convenience, ie, bypassing the no-entry-found search results page.)
