123123

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable neologism. The original article, Flightstick, was prodded (see diff 1). Shortly after, the article was blanked by its creator (see diff 2). Then, the article was moved to 123123 (see diff 3). Then another user (in good faith, I'm sure) reverted the article, but the article was reprodded in the process, which is a violation of policy (see diff 4). To be consistent with policy, we have no choice but to assume a contested prod, and this article must go through AfD.

I further recommend speedy deletion of this article per WP:CSD (patent nonsense) and that action be taken on said creator for trying to circumvent the deletion process. MuZemike (talk) 18:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Yikes, this is a weird one. Move back to Flightstick then redirect or merge to joystick then delete the redirect at 123123. Even if it's a neologism, flightstick (or flight stick) strikes me as a likely search term. There are some products labeled flight stick and the term is used by Joystiq  and IGN, although with a space. Since Flight Stick is a redirect to joystick, the non-space version should redirect there as well.  Pagra  shtak  18:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Move to flightstick, merge to joystick, then delete. Flightstick might be a search term, but 123123 is a ridiculous name for an article about a joystick. Bart133 t c @ How's my driving? 19:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Move first, having an Afd on an article title which is only in use because of an inappropriate move seems counter productive. Move back to Flightstick and either keep or merge and redirect from there.  Move was clearly foolish but I can see why editor got fed up, original content when at Flightstick name should have been easily understood to be describing a common product type but was given an attempted db-nonsense tag  before rest of tagging saga ensued -Hunting dog (talk) 19:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It's quick, simple and gets the job done. All this talk about moving and merging seems to be overlooking the fact that there's no encyclopaedic content in the article. There are no sources nor any demonstration of notability. I also noted that it was blanked by its original author without any other significant contributions.

 * Note — Move to 123123 has been reverted. I will tag 123123 for speedy deletion per WP:CSD. I will also close this AfD debate (non-admin closure) and re-open it under Filghtstick. MuZemike (talk) 19:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
