Ostrich strategy
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article consists entirely of a dictionary definition, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Article has not been expanded since previous AfD nomination three years ago, nor do I see much evidence that, once you've noted it's a metaphor for ignoring something, that there is much more to be said about it. Unreferenced since November 2007. ProposeDelete.

Good thought on the redirect; I didn't see the ostrich effect article. Withdrawing nomination; propose Redirect per Smerdis, and I'll go add the redirect. --DGaw (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to ostrich effect, which has references and a bit more discussion, but appears to be the exact same thing. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:00, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Why there are many hits for "Ostrich strategy", when I try searching on Google Books with +debt I get no results, suggesting OR/lack of notability. I will change my vote if sources are shown. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 17:12, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Smerdis above. There may be some notable information here - it's similar enough to ostrich effect to be a section of that article. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:22, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
