Heading up and barring off

Useless article. Delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamc714 (talk • contribs) 2008/11/14 02:22:25


 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - even if the two subjects merit articles, it's obvious that combining them into one article like this isn't the way to go. Mangoe (talk) 14:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mangoe and due to lack of references. Stifle (talk) 14:19, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Sailing, if there's anything here worth merging. -- Mwanner | Talk 15:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, though I disagree strongly with the nominator on this one; the article is not useless, and even if it were, useless isn't itself a criteria for deletion. That said, what little purpose this article might serve is already found at Sailing, so a duplicate article is unnecessary. If there's a fork of Sailing, I'd imagine it would be something like Sailing Terms or some such, which would include these two items and others. So, nothing to merge, and this being an unlikely search term (though Heading up and Barring off might not be), I think we can delete this one.

 * Keep Just like any other major sporting term, these are manuevers used in sailing. Shall we delete Tackle, goal, and Hail Mary from the site as well? I didn't think so... Coastalsteve984 (talk) 00:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Whether or not the terms deserve their own articles, combining them into a single composite article name like this is surely wrong. Mangoe (talk) 14:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
