Block sale
Prod removed with no explanation. Concept is not sourced and is possible neologism. Little more than a dicdef. Delete. BlueValour 03:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to garage sale, where it is mentioned. -- Kjkolb 05:23, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. It's a valid term, I've heard it plenty of times, but I don't know that it needs its own article. Garage sale covers it well. -- H·G (words/works) 05:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to garage sale per above. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 05:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and Redirect - Ok, I'm persuaded. :-) However, I would ask the Redirect folks to consider Delete and Redirect i.e. delete the history then redirect. The problem with a simple redirect is that any editor can simply revert it the next day! BlueValour 15:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * *Comment Works for me. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 21:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: if someone reverts in this situation, just revert again, citing this AfD. -- Kjkolb 00:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - the problem with that is that you get into an unprofitable edit war; better to clean it out IMHO. BlueValour 02:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: If the editor refuses to listen and reverts again, I would take the matter to the Administrators' Noticeboard. It is not the place for content disputes, but with an AfD behind a decision to redirect, I, as an admin, would intervene. Not all other administrators might, but I think many, if not most, would. Also, if an editor was that determined, he or she could simply rewrite the article rather than reverting, especially with an article this small. I don't know if there is a technical downside to deleting or not deleting in this situation. Deleted articles are still stored in the servers so that they can be viewed by admins and undeleted if necessary. It might be better to delete articles or to just replace them with redirects or it might make little or no difference. Obviously, it would make no difference when dealing with this particular article, but it might be significant if policy were changed. Perhaps I'll ask someone. -- Kjkolb 10:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Redirect to garage sale per Kjkolb. We can't delete and then redirect if we're going to be using ANYTHING from this stub in the other article (which we might), because it breaks down the GDFL chain of attribution. I'll put the redirect on my watchlist in case it comes back. -- nae'blis (talk) 03:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
