Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queer bait

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous - 6 clear delete votes, 4 redirect votes. Failing to reach a clear concensus to delete, the article defaults to keep. Redirecting.

 * Nope, I'm afraid not. The fastest we can do is 5 hurried days. --fvw *  11:53, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)
 * Delete - the faster the better! Selphie 11:45, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC) **

 * Delete, unless it's in wide use. In that case Transwiki to Wiktionary. Mgm|(talk) 13:45, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, dicdef, it's all been said. Inter 14:19, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of sexual slurs. It's already there in the list, and redirects are cheap.  I can imagine someone typing this in to look up. --Stevietheman 19:15, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, dicdef, no likelihood of becoming a useful article. I can see why some might see a redirect as a good idea, but this sort of directory is one thing that Wikipedia is not. A redirect that points to a member of a list that will never become an article is making Wikipedia into a dictionary. Subtle point perhaps but important IMO. Andrewa 21:29, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not making Wikipedia into a dictionary... but rather redirecting visitor to a complete article of related material. Not unusual for an encyclopedia. And recall that we're not print-bound. No harm done with a redirect. --Stevietheman 21:50, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of sexual slurs. Megan1967 00:41, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
