Trapo (disambiguation)

I think this might be some sort of attack page but I'm not sure. I can't find any reference to "Trapo" in these pages, and there's no apparent connection. The creator's username is also suspicious, and given that an editor with no other edits is creating a disambig page with the proper format and tags, I'm suspicious. But assuming good faith, I'm taking it here. Shadowjams (talk) 08:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Note - I'm also including Trapo, created by the same user, which is a redirect. Shadowjams (talk) 08:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment- I'm also not sure if you can bundle a redirect in with an article at AfD (since redirects really should go to RfD), but I guess objecting would just be a petty procedural quibble. Reyk  YO!  08:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I have, and unlike a template or something outside the namespace, redirects are simple edits. This one is inextricably tied up in the outcome of this discussion. So while there is a distinction for prod and CSD, I'm aware of none for AfD. We certainly don't want people to go around creating Name of my enemey redirects to Name of something insulting . In the event there is some conflict with this procedure, I believe this is one of those few times were WP:IAR makes sense. Shadowjams (talk) 08:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No need for IAR, WP:DEL is quite clear: "Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish". Emphasis added. Shadowjams (talk) 09:04, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment- "Trapo" does indeed appear to be an insult:, although it also could be a contraction of "traditional politician". Reyk  YO!  08:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The link you provided only confirms my suspicions. Thank you for that. Given that all of the politicians linked are Filipino, this only reinforces the pejorative nature of the term. Shadowjams (talk) 09:00, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
