Sherlock (pipe)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No sources, no indication of notability, no improvement for several years. Orphan article. As far as I can tell, this article isn't encyclopedic, and no one cares enough to attempt to fix it. It should have been speedied, it should have been prodded, but here we are just the same. Rklawton (talk) 22:18, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Smoking pipe (tobacco). As can be seen here, this is a genuine name for a pipe and this would be useful redirect to a helpful description. TerriersFan (talk) 01:56, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be OK if we had evidence that a calabash was also known as a Sherlock. At this point, we have no such evidence. Rklawton (talk) 03:23, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. No sources at all.  The Google search result referred to above talks about a "Sherlock pipe", but I didn't see anything (other than the existing material from Wikipedia) using "Sherlock" all by itself to refer to this pipe.  If (and only if) this use of "Sherlock" can be substantiated via independent reliable sources, then I would redirect as suggested above.   Rich wales (talk · contribs) 02:17, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
