- Delete Now that the snickering is over, perhaps, other than some bored kids seeing if WP turns up when they type in various synonyms or euphemisms for anus these serve no real purpose. There are whole books devoted to synomyms or euphemisms for nearly all body parts or sexual acts that will give us hundreds of redirects.Carlossuarez46 (talk)21:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was
Not applicable. RFD is not doe debating whether articles should exist or not. That's AFD. Besides the precedural grounds, there seems to be no consensus for redirecting. --

02:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]This article HAD been a redirect (since November) until an anonymous user reverted it back to its "article" status. The article seems to have enough information to be a stub, at best. So, the question is, should this go back to being a redirect or should it remain as a stub?Matt (talk)02:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The second and third paragraphs of the article as it stands now weren't in the pre-redirection version, and they now make this an article with information on the field of arthropodology, where the article previously had only a dictionary definition, along withWP:COATRACK information about arthropods and about arthropodologists. I would still remove the last paragraph, but other than that the article now has substantive information about its topic.—Largo Plazo (talk)03:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd say this is worthkeeping, as it's a distinct topic fromarthropod (which is linked in the first line, for anyone who wants to find it, anyway).Terraxos (talk)21:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Mister Alcohol's comment shows the harm of this redirect. The target is not a redirect. If someone add
(disambiguation) to a title, they are specifically looking for a disambiguation page. It is wrong to have that be a blue link when one doesn't exist. --

- Weak keep. Here is a case where there are other uses of the term inreliable sources (such as[2]) but there seem no Wikipedia articles covering them. It's a long title, but a significant number of readers/editors have used [[Foo (disambiguation)]] as a lookup when they know that "Foo" has multiple meanings. While there is clearly one major meaning/use of the term, nothing would be gained by the deletion of this redirect.147.70.242.54 (talk)18:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Meh. How likely will it be for articles covering different meanings of the term to be created? There is very little potential to be maintained by keeping, but zero to be gained by deleting. Either way, it's not really worth the trouble of this RfD.B.Wind (talk)03:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
