I could've sworn there was actually a guideline about this somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyway, we are an English encyclopedia and the book was evidently published in German originally; there's no need for a redirect in every language. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 17:21, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I created the redirect only because the foreign language title of the book was bolded in the article. I have no opinion regarding whether the redirect should be kept. Binksternet (talk) 17:27, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's probably just a style thing, there was a lot of unnecessary bold in there. I'll take it out. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 17:33, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: doesn't seem to be useful any way. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 10:31, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as this is not the original title of the book. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Unnecessary redirect based on unlikely typo. Has no page history worth keeping, and nothing linking in to it Speedy deletion was refused. MakeSense64 (talk) 08:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. MOS:DASH recommends creating redirects with hyphens when article names include en dashes. - Eureka Lott 03:08, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep for ease of direct access (most keyboard layouts don't have "–" key). &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 10:24, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

This dab does not appear to be used. Another editor created it based on my request to start an essay (Video links). The other shortcuts appear to be sufficient. Cptnono (talk) 06:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: the stats say it is used. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 10:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

 * → Wristband (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Recommendation is to delete redirect. The "Masturband" is currently listed in the Human Sexuality Article Index. However, it redirects to "Wristband". The Wristband article no longer has any information related to "Masturband" or any other human sexuality topic. In addition, I have been researching human sexuality related articles for a number of years. A while back, I saw the term "Masturband" used as a derogatory or humorous reference to the various wristband trends (e.g., the brightly colored wristbands that indicate the person supports a particular charity). However, I can not find any verifiable references for the exact derogatory usage of the term, probably because it is rare and out-of-date. There is one post in UrbanDictionary.com with limited information, and references to masturbation slang. Other than that, the term "Masturband" seems to have faded out of all usage sometime in 2007-2008 (as a human sexuality topic). I really do not think a redirect to "Wristband" is appropriate at this time. With regard to the stats for this item, it should be noted that there are other things called "Masturband", including a musical band. These are totally unrelated to this redirect or the original Masturband human sexuality article, which was deleted. APatcher (talk) 06:33, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep unless better target suggested. I see no reasons for deletion. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 10:27, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
