 * Merge to Flash rob. "Steaming" is the word used for this in the UK:, , , . The Mighty Glen (talk) 04:46, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article existed long before Flash rob, so under WP:ENGVAR that article should actually be merged to this. A British person is no more likely to know what a "flash rob" is than an American is likely to know what "steaming" is. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:44, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
