The Terrible Towel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an AFD to delete The Terrible Towel to make room to move Terrible Towel. I tried to do this under db-move but was denied because typical practice is to avoid using an Article (grammar) for the title of articles (WP:NOUN).

However, WP:NOUN allows for "The" when it's "part of a proper name" and that's clearly the case. First, see all of the pictures of the towels at Commons:Category:Terrible Towel. Second, see the official trademark filing:.

So, !vote delete and move the article to its correct name.--GrapedApe (talk) 03:26, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy close. The Terrible Towel is a redirect, and AFD isn't for redirects, since we keep or delete them on completely different grounds; for example, "it's useful" is a good reason for defending a redirect but not for defending an article.  Since nobody except the nominator has advocated keeping or deleting, I'd suggest that an uninvolved admin close this and immediately open an RFD by quoting GrapedApe's words.
