Flem (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Deprodded by an anon with the reasoning "Two valid bluelinks"; that seems to miss the point. This disambig page points only to Phlegm and Flemish people, but Phlegm already has a hatnote saying that Flem redirects there and pointing to Flemish people (for the sake, I suppose, of anyone who thinks Flemings are called "Flems"). This disambiguation page is thus totally superfluous, as no one is going to search for "Flem (disambiguation)", and anyone searching for "Flem" will either wind up at the page they were looking for (because they can't spell "phlegm") or a page with a hatnote pointing them to the page they were looking for (because they don't know what people from Flanders are called). +Angr 09:21, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete It's likely that this was intended as a bad joke, perhaps by a French-speaking Belgian person who wanted to compare Flemish people to "phlegm". If you think it's funny, it's snot.  Mandsford (talk)
 * Delete. What a sticky dilemma. No need for a disambiguation page with only two links, in any event. It's easy to snort out two articles; more might be a different question, assuming all of them are valid. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 16:46, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand&mdash;There are more instances of Flem on Wikipedia than just those two, including surnames.&mdash;mdash;RJH (talk) 21:33, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it needs to be contracted by exactly one entry before it's expanded. The idea that a Flemish person would be called a "flem" is too f***ing stupid to stay in an encyclopedia.  It's like saying "grease" can refer to Greek people. Mandsford (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to removing that line, although I think you could have argued that better.&mdash;RJH (talk) 19:49, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, but I'd rather use asterisks than to spell out the word "failing"... Mandsford (talk) 20:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and Ultraexactzz. Obviously the work of Mrs Childmolester of Worthing. Deor (talk) 14:27, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete plain and simple. --Lockley (talk) 07:20, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
