+# FavourSingleton (FL0089)
+
+*Introduced in `0.26.10`*
+
+## Cause
+
+Rule to detect usage of lists or arrays with only one item.
+
+## Rationale
+
+`List.singleton foo`/`Array.singleton foo` is more readable and explicit than `[foo]`/`[|foo|]`.
+Especially if we take in account that F# newbies may not yet be familiar with the difference between
+inline array vs list instantiation; and square brackets with only one element could potentially be
+confused with an indexing accessor.
+
+## How To Fix
+
+Replace all occurrences of single member lists/arrays with a call to List.singleton/Array.singleton.
+
+## Rule Settings
+
+    {
+        "favourSingleton": {
+            "enabled": false
+        }
+    }
