Current list

April 21

Raimon pannikar → Raimundo Panikkar

False spelling B.B. 20:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, but redirect to Raimon Panikkar instead to avoid the double redirect. Plausible mispelling is not a criterion for deletion. bcasterline t 21:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Redirect to Raimon Panikkar. Royboycrashfan Image:Flag of Texas.svg 21:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Iranian metal → Metal in Iran

This is a re-nomination, the article was shortly vandalized earlier. It redirects to a dead page (was a Copyvio till this morning, then got AfDed) -- - K a s h ^{Talk | email} 19:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Some info from the history could be merged into Heavy metal in Islamic countries if that article survives deletion, or the redirect could be pointed there. Kusma (討論) 19:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I started the original article, however I think its best for it to be part or even redirect to Iranian rock and alternative music instead -- - K a s h ^{Talk | email} 20:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Fuck Truck → Wellesley College Senate Bus

If we're going to have an article of this name, then it should be related to Passion Wagons in general not a particular school bus. Why should that school have monopoly on the term? jmd 11:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Then why not edit the article to discuss the subject of cars equipped for sex (or at least create a stub about that subject), adding a link at the top to the Senate Bus article? Catamorphism 12:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

STRONG KEEP See the long history of deletion debates on this subject. Quite simply, this is not a "passion wagon" (a car equipped for sex). This is a shuttle bus that has come to be known as the "fuck truck" and so referred to in numerous notable media sources (again, see all of the deltion debates on this matter) because it is the means by which some students travel from one college to another when they are meeting up with someone at the latter school in order to engage in sexual activity . As for this redirect, it is unclear why this redirect would be a candidate for deletion. As it stands, there is an article about the Wellesley College Senate Bus and that article provides multiple reliable references for the fact that the bus is widely known as the fuck truck. Quite simply, it is reasonable to think that a sizeable portion of users interested in this bus will in fact type in the term fuck truck. Without this redirect, those users will not find what they are looking for. Thus, this redirect serves the fundamental purpose that redirects are supposed to serve -- it reduces confusion. As for alternate meanings of "fuck truck", I just did a quick google search and fuck truck does not seem to be a particuarly widespread synonym for passion wagon -- the few sites I found using the term in this context were porn sites and user-editable sites. Interestingstuffadder 13:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep, of course. Mattergy 13:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep as per Interestingstuffadder. The Senate bus has been known as the "fuck truck" since antiquity. Why should the United States have a monopoly on houses that are white?

Spam blog → Spam blogs

Prevents move of article to proper name Polonium 21:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

If you mean that "Spam blogs" should be a redirect to "Spam blog", which should contain the article, I'm all in favour. I don't think there's any need to discuss that. PizzaMargherita 21:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

April 20

List of The Analogs albums → The Analogs

The article has been merged. Visor 16:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per the principle of least astonishment, and points 1 and 2 of when we should not delete redirects (see above). Johnleemk | Talk 17:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Island Brygge station → Islands Brygge station

Island Brygge does not exist; it was a typo on my account. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ghent (talk • contribs) {{{2|}}}.

• Keep as per policy at the top of this page; conceivable misspellings are valid redirects. Johnleemk | Talk 17:03, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

KSWB → KSWB-TV

delete Ronald20 01:28, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy keep as a likely bad-faith nomination. Not added on RfD page originally, nomination was originally on KSWB itself. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Looks like there was a copy and paste move on 26 August 2005, where all content from KSWB was copied and pasted to KSWB-TV. All subsequent edits to the KSWB page has been either to blank the redirect or to put it here on RFD. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. OK, I fixed the cut and paste move and merged the page histories. However, the redirect should still stand unless the nominator wants to list the two pages on Wikipedia:Requested moves. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

April 19

Korean churches in China → Christianity_in_Korea

Tagged on 02-Sept by 205.188.116.6 but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep -- valid and non-misleading redirect. Good call on digging up all these half-done RfDs, JLaTondre. Johnleemk | Talk 15:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: churches could also refer to other religions besides Christianity. --Hetar 20:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete While I find Hetar's possibility unlikely, given the makeup Korean religion, the title is about China not Korea and so is really a different topic. JoshuaZ 22:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

List of automobile models by size → List of recent automobile models by type

Tagged on 28-Aug by 200.125.60.59 but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Morbus haemolyticus neonatorum → Rh disease

Tagged on 19-Mar by Snowmanradio but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Maybe the more general Hemolytic disease of the newborn would be a better target? Kusma (討論) 02:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• If there is such an entity at Morbus haemolyticus neonatorum, perhaps it could be redirected to Hemolytic disease of the newborn. Snowman 10:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Motorola v600 → Motorola V600

Tagged on 17-Dec by Mikecnn but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and add Template:Tl. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and add Template:Tl. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:49, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Murton (Yorkshire) → Murton, York

Tagged on 24-Feb by Jorvik but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete - no pages link to the redirect and the title is not an obvious one to search for.

• Is there another Murton in Yorkshire this could lead to? Johnleemk | Talk 15:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Yorkshire is a county in England. York is a city in Yorkshire. Murton is a village in York, and thus in Yorkshire. The redirect is valid. Johnleemk | Talk 20:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - it's a perfectly harmless redirect, and it could very easily be searched for by somebody who isn't familiar with WP naming conventions. — sjorford (talk) 09:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Ng Hoi Yee → Margaret Ng

Tagged on 7-Jan by Instantnood but not listed here. Deletion rationale of Although the proper pronunciation is Oi, her name is spelt as "Ngoi". "Hoi" is a wrong spelling. provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete -- possibly misleading. Johnleemk | Talk 15:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Nori (LAY) → Look Around You

Tagged on 29-Oct by Rapido but not listed here. Deletion rationale of the word "Nori" has nothing to do with the series provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Oak Elementary School → Oak Avenue School

Tagged on 3-Dec by 69.181.82.102 but not listed here. Deletion rationale of wrong name for school. There is an Oak Elementary School in TN. provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Tagged on 22-Jan by Ypacaraí but not listed here. Deletion rationale of not known name provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Temporally → time

Tagged on 16-Dec by Lincher but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to wiktionary. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure how one would transwiki the redirect. "Time" is not a sufficient definition for "temporally" (ref [1]) so, while one could generate a definition for it, there really isn't anyting to move over. -- JLaTondre 02:49, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

The Earth, A Small Man, His Dog and a Chicken → The Earth, A Small Man, His Dog And A Chicken

Tagged on 13-Oct by Deelnemer8 but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and add Template:Tl. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Template:Wikiportal:Doctor Who/Categories → Portal:Doctor Who/Categories

Tagged on 3-Nov by Sherool but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Redirect from template to portal space based upon page move. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Yumiko Kokonoe → Usako Kokonoe

Tagged on 18-Apr by Jaimemrm2002 but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

User:Jaimemrm2002, who is a newcomer, conversed with me regarding this RfD. The rationale was that Yumiko Kokonoe is the real name of the actress, and not Usako Kokonoe (The article page on Usako Kokonoe also refers to her by Yumiko Kokonoe). As of now, Yumiko Kokonoe redirects to Usako Kokonoe. But it should be the other way round. So this redirect is to be deleted so that the article may be moved to that page. This is what User:Jamiemrm2002 said. Since I am not well versed with this subject, I am not voting. Just I put up his rationale. I will be informing his mistake as well. --soUmyaSch 06:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• In that case, the better avenue for this request would be Wikipedia:Requested moves. -- JLaTondre 02:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

"jimmy jimmy" → Jimmy Jimmy

Tagged on 11-Apr by 85.1.105.57 (as AfD) but not listed here. Deletion rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 02:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep; clearly plausible redirect. If Jimmy Jimmy is deleted, however, then obviously this redirect should go as well. Johnleemk | Talk 15:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete; inclusion of the quotation marks makes it both an unlikely search term and an unlikey in-line text usage. If we were talking about jimmy jimmy, that would be another matter. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as harmless redirect - people do search for items in quotes, because that's how you search for a phrase in Google and other search engines. Many such pages are created every day, and I see no harm in leaving the redirect once the page has been moved to the correct title. — sjorford (talk) 09:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Sandy Valley, California → Sandy Valley, Nevada

There is no such community in California. The CDP stops at the state line and the area is called Mesquite Valley on the California side. 69.35.49.210 03:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as misleading. Johnleemk | Talk 15:28, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Christopher Reeve jokes → Christopher Reeve

Recreation of deleted article (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Reeve jokes) which was then redirected. See no use for it as a redirect. Fagstein 06:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

April 18

Al Mkhir → 99 Names of God

Tagged on 25 January by Savidan, but not listed here. Rationale of typo provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry. I meant to use {db-author}. Just a typo. "Al Mkhir" isn't one of the 99 names of god. You can also keep it if you want. I guess theres no harm in it. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 05:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Blogorrhea → Blog

Tagged on 25 September by Solarusdude, but not listed here. Rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Sounds like a neologistic portmanteau of blog and diarrhea. "+blogorrhea -wikipedia" gives 97,800 Google results. I suppose that at least it discourages the creation of a dicdef. — TKD::Talk 02:06, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Catharsis (British band) → Catharsis (band)

Tagged on 13 March by 200.55.107.111, but not listed here. Rationale of not a British band. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Tagged on 7 February by Fitch, but not listed here. Rationale of it was a test page originally provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep -- following the principle of least astonishment, it's clear someone who might conceivably type this in would be directed to the right page. Johnleemk | Talk 19:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Implausible but possible. That is the key word. Johnleemk | Talk 19:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hold (grappling) → Grappling hold

Tagged on 30 December by -Marcus-, but not listed here. Rationale not provided. No vote on my part. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Glass Plate Universities → Plate glass university

Tagged on 7 January by Colonies Chris, but not listed here. See Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion/Redirect Archives/January 2006#January 7 for delete decision on companion Glass Plate university. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per decision on companion. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

RC Patrol → Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol

Cross-namespace redirect about a self-reference only of interest to Wikipedians Kotepho 15:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as cross-namespace redirect. — TKD::Talk 02:06, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Edge Of Nowhere → Blizzhackers

Target article is also up for deletion and not likely to be kept, so why have the redirect hanging around? Daniel Case 17:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

April 17

Armenian Terror → Armenian allegations

User Kayaakyuz created several redirects on 16 April to a POV article Armenian allegations they had copied from Turkish govt website, currently listed on AfD. The redirects obscure attempts to find the NPOV Wikipedia article. It is possible the title of the established article Armenian Genocide may change, so the redirect will not have a valid target. The names of many of the redirects and articles involve are themselves either insufficiently descriptive or contentious to one of the parties. Also Armenian Allegations, Armenian issue, Armenian Issue, Turkish Genocide, Turkish genocide, Armenian problem, Armenian terror, Armenian Terror, Armenian relocation, Armenian Relocation, Tehcir, Ottoman Armenians, Ottoman armenians --Cedders 15:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Isn't it better to wait for the closure of the AfD discussion on Armenian allegations, and reopen the discussion when that issue is settled? I did not check all, but for most nothing links to there, so if the main article goes they can be speedied, I suppose. (I agree that the names are contentious, but this is one of those topics where any name and/or content will be objectionable to one of the sides in the conflict.) I'm afraid I don't quite get how a possible name change of Armenian Genocide (which, as far as I know, is not under any kind of formal discussion) is supposed to have an impact on these redirects. Lambiam^Talk 23:33, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment. I guess you're right, and suppose that's how these things are usually done (I'm a newbie). But maybe should they remain nominated (a) because redirecting from most of the terms to any conceivable article would cause confusion and/or be contentious (although I guess Ottoman Armenians could redirect to Armenians); and (b) to avoid readers being redirected to the POV fork and Google listing each 160K redirect instead of giving PageRank to Armenian Genocide. There's no formal discussion to move Armenian Genocide, but I think it's been moved before, and my Macmillan has the topic as 'Armenian massacre', which may be raised later about how the article summary can be presented more objectively before getting onto the opinion of genocide scholars, the UN, etc. --Cedders 01:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. To those (like me) who didn't fully appreciate at first glance that last sentence without markup, this is an umbrella nomination of Armenian Allegations, Armenian issue, Armenian Issue, Turkish Genocide, Turkish genocide, Armenian problem, Armenian terror, Armenian Terror, Armenian relocation, Armenian Relocation, Ottoman Armenians, Ottoman armenians. Tehcir was converted to a stub. -- JLaTondre 00:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Multiple cross-space redirects by User:Patricknoddy

I have not tagged none of the redirects since there are too many, but up for deletion are: WP:GOO → Google, WP:CHIPPER, WP:CHIP, WP:MLB, WP:MiLB, WP:MiLBLT, WP:WVP, WP:AIB, WP:AkA, WP:AI, WP:AlC and WP:AT. Also the {{shortcut|[[WP:]]}} tags added to redirected articles need to be deleted. I have noted the user on this matter. feydey 16:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Nupedia, the old free encyclopedia → Nupedia

No one is going to look for that particular string. Created by serial redirector, so even if he (they) say they will use it, it's still implausible. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 01:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. If somebody does search for it, it will be useful. It does not confuse the person using the redirect, as they are unlikely to expect anything else except an article on Nupedia. It's a damn unlikely redirect, but it might serve one out of every ten million people or something. Redirects are cheap. There is no reason to delete a redirect. "Nobody's going to use it" isn't a valid reason. Johnleemk | Talk 05:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. "Nobody's going to use it" is a perfectly valid reason to delete it, in my opinion. We shouldn't have redirects for random phrases just because "they don't hurt anyone". Especially when they are more complicated than the article name itself. -- Renesis13 22:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: You realize that your delete vote will take more space on the server than the redirect would have. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 05:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • That's not my point. If it is a real title of the encyclopedia, then I would vote to keep it. But as it looks like it's not, then I feel the reason to remove it is to control disorganization and pointlessness. I could create a redirect that say "Nupedia, the ancestor to Wikipedia" or "Nupedia, founded by Jimmy Wales" and it wouldn't use much disk space or processor time, but it would be totally pointless. Keeping that under control, is to me a large part of the goal for Redirects for Deletion. -- Renesis13 17:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Pointless, yes, but would it hurt? That is the major question. If it does not hurt, it can only be one of two things: neutral or helpful. Neither is totally bad. Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree here. Johnleemk | Talk 18:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • If it doesn't hurt anyone, does it not make sense to retain it? Just because something is more complicated than the real name does not mean we remove the redirect; someone with the wrong information could justifiably find it useful in the future. I see nobody has bothered actually reading the policy relating to redirect deletions, which clearly states that if a redirect doesn't hurt anyone (e.g. it's not misleading, it's not confusing, there's nothing else the page could conceivably redirect to, etc.), it shouldn't be deleted. Johnleemk | Talk 12:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, recently created and a useless phrase. Discourage people from creating useless redirects. Kusma (討論) 14:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. It's not that unlikely. Plural and title case are both common mistakes by those unfamiliar with Wikipedia convention. -- JLaTondre 12:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per JLaTondre. This is a textbook case for Template:Tl and Template:Tl. — TKD::Talk 20:28, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per JLaTondre, not an unusual redirect. feydey 20:33, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Guildford, England → Guildford

nothing links directly and Guildford is about the town in England Thatcher131 03:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, as it follows the standard naming convention for place names. It just happens to be well known enough to reside at the shortened version. -- Renesis13 17:15, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, useful redirect. Angr (talk • contribs) 17:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Renesis13. If I got the search results page for "Guildford, England", I'd have created the redirect, too. — TKD::Talk 20:28, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Horspool's algoritm for string matching → Boyer-Moore-Horspool algorithm

Misspelling (algorithm) with no linking pages. The correct spelling Horspool's algorithm for string matching exists. No useful history. JohnWhitlock 00:46, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Unlikely but possible misspelling. No compelling reason to delete given. Johnleemk | Talk 08:12, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Lengthy search term, yes, but probably not the first time that someone's misspelled "algorithm" in that way. — TKD::Talk 20:28, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Deesh → Douche

This was originally created as a junk article, then edited to a redirect. I can't see that anyone searching for "douche" would type "deesh." Joyous | Talk 22:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as above. --Roisterer 05:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Res cogitans → René Descartes

This gives the impression that we have an article on something we don't. It is only linked by one article and two pages listing it as a missing topic. If it is searched for it will likely direct the person to Res Extensa which would be a good start and allow them to explore the concept further without having it redirect them to Descartes... who is not the only person to employ the concept. gren グレン 13:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Why not write a one line description and mark it as a stub? Unless someone who knows the subject thinks it will never be a worthwhile article, then delete. -- Renesis13 17:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Hero Game → Hero (computer game)

Recent move of stub article, less than 10 weeks old, no remaining internal links. Chris Chittleborough 01:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy keep. Plausible misspelling. If there is a similar game, then the page should redirect to the appropriate disambiguation page, but otherwise, there is no reason not to keep this redirect. Please read the instructions up there before making nominations not in compliance with policy. Only list redirects for deletion which do not conform to the principles outlined above. Johnleemk | Talk 10:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I added Template:r unprintworthy so it's known to be unprintworthy... but, other than that it's harmless. gren グレン 13:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Possible confusion with Hero Games, who created the Hero System of generic pen&paper RPG rules which includes Fantasy Hero, Star Hero, and Pulp Hero, each of which has been called a "Hero game". See also H.E.R.O., another game. (I should have explained this above. BTW, I did read those instructions, and wrongly thought I was following policy.) Newbie-ish question/suggestion: should Hero Game be a disambiguation page? —Chris Chittleborough 14:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
    • If so, then yes. (Although maybe Hero game would be more appropriate?) Johnleemk | Talk 14:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
      • I have a draft disambiguation page at User:Chris Chittleborough/Hero (game). Could a more experienced Wikipedian take a look at it please? Edits very welcome. CWC(talk) 11:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Looks good to me. If nobody objects, I'll close this within a day or two, making Hero Game redirect to Hero (game) (which Chris can move out of his userspace now, since it appears ready). Johnleemk | Talk 11:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• MACROBIOTIC → Macrobiotic diet -- There is already a redirect called Macrobiotic and there are no links to MACROBIOTIC. However it's the first time i nominate an RFD, so i'm sorry if i'm wrong. Amir E. Aharoni 15:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete.--Amir E. Aharoni 20:39, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep. If someone (for whatever reason) types this in, it will be helpful. Redirects are cheap; there is no reason to delete this. Johnleemk | Talk 19:23, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• The Tony Danza → Donkey punch -- There's no information on this fictional sex move in Donkey punch and new edits that describe it are frequently edited out by a number of people on the basis that these edits are unverifiable original research. Brian G. Crawford 22:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• The Tony Danza (sex move) → Donkey punch -- Same reason as for The Tony Danza above. Brian G. Crawford 22:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Both of these are part of an article that was just AfD: Speedy Keep. Will be restored. — Linnwood 20:54, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete both Even if references to Tony Danza in previous versions of Donkey punch are accurate, there's not enough to indicate there may not be other Tony Danza (sex moves). — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:55, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete both and protect if necessary. Recreate at such time that it is verified and notable, which won't be any time soon. Шизомби 01:02, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
