Breaking vine
Also proposed for merge and delete, +5 other related articles: Cutting a shoelace, Passing under blackberry, Showing to the moon, Tying someone, Worship of trees.

Although I don't doubt that this and the 5 other related articles above are genuine-enough traditions in Pontic/Turkish folklore (original creator has used the same reference work for each), having them as individual articles under generic phrases doesn't make much sense. Several of these entries are rather confusingly written, and what's more appear to be direct translations of the cited Turkish reference work. Any encyclopaedic material which can be salvaged from these ought to be merged into the Turkish folklore article (currently only a list of these articles), and the articles deleted. The reason I'm not simply carrying out the merge myself is that I don't really see any value in maintaining the article titles as redirects. cjllw | TALK  22:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge into Turkish folklore, elevating it from a list to an article. Ruby 23:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per Ruby. Turkish folklore surely deserves to be more than a list, and until it is a good size article, it would be better to have all these separate lores there. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?)  00:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge the content from all articles listed in Turkish folklore into itself. (Does that make sense?) :) --Khoikhoi 08:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
