Probably should be merged ~somehow~, or at least refer to each other. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 03:30, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- There is a slight loss of precision in the synonymy from merging, but I have made funny paper the lemma, without (yet) deleting funny papers, which should, IMO, be just the plural of funny paper. If someone thinks the possibility of lost precision outweighs the more straightforward presentation for normal users, please discuss. DCDuring (talk) 14:53, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- @DCDuring Our current definitions (which match my understanding) imply that the two are synonymous, rather than funny papers being a plural of funny paper. So I think it makes sense to list funny paper (rarer) as a synonym of funny papers. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 20:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- I agree with @ExcarnateSojourner – my impression is that funny papers is more common, though feel free to do a search and see. — Sgconlaw (talk) 19:19, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

- This discussion seems to have run its course, so I've defined funny paper as a synonym of funny papers and made the latter the lemma. — excarnateSojourner (ta·co) 02:43, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
