The result was  redirect, though that probably shouldn't have happened until after this was closed. Nonetheless, the bold redirect has now been accepted and the nomination withdrawn so I'm closing this with the result recorded rather than decided (non-admin closure).

Death chair

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't seem to be an actual term, or anything WP:NOTABLE. Notability tag was recently added by, I saw this and prodded it, the prod was endorsed with a prod2 by. Then an IP redirected it to Electric chair, without giving a reason. The term 'death chair' isn't mentioned in the redirect target, and El;ectric chair is not commonly known as death chair. Aditionally, this article claimed that the term is used for a wide assortment of things, not just an electric chair. Boleyn (talk) 19:21, 27 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Meh. I redirected this to try to salvage it - after all, someone thought the term was likely enough to write an article on, and more than half of the article is about electric chairs. There's no evidence I can find for the existence of "death chairs" as an actual topic encompassing the other implements mentioned, so the claim in the article doesn't matter. I suppose there's some chance of this being used as a search term, but not much; it doesn't really matter either way. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 20:06, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The above contanis some valid points; if the prod hadn't been removed without reason, and this had been put in the edit summary/talk page, I might not have taken it to AfD. Nomination withdrawn Boleyn (talk) 20:54, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
