Delete. The list was not merged, simply redirected. It is misleading for the name of the list to come up when searching. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:25, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. I don't see that this is misleading at all, and while the redirect was a long time ago I can't find any discussion or other consensus that the list is not encyclopaedic. Thryduulf (talk) 00:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Plausible search term, no value in deletion, history may be useful for future editors. Wily D 08:01, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Delete. Implausible redirect, but not a recently created one so not a candidate for speedy. Fram (talk) 13:25, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment List of people from other walks of their life who is also are pilots seems equally implausible. Siuenti (talk) 13:34, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not more so than List of people from other walks of their life who is also are aviators :-D Fram (talk) 13:43, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete both as very implausible search terms given the bad grammar ("who is also are"!?). Thryduulf (talk) 14:59, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete both per Thryduulf. Who's going to use this precise combination of proper spelling and bad grammar?  Nyttend (talk) 23:57, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as a nonsensical search phrase. De728631 (talk) 09:11, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete and send to WP:DAFT as a completely implausible search with a funny title. The Blade of the Northern Lights  ( 話して下さい ) 02:09, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Speedy delete as obvious nonsense The Anome (talk) 19:34, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

This was tagged for speedy deletion, but I think it needs time for some more investigation. The speedy deletion nomination was "term and former content entirely made up by author". Indeed, I couldn't find any mention of "fragplatz" in Google News or Books. Also, one of the references in the page history, "Die wahre Geschichte des Fragplatzen Verbrechens", doesn't appear to exist. Instead, the ISBN number points to the book "Mafia die wahre Geschichte des organisierten Verbrechens", which seems to be about the mafia, not anything in WWII. If anyone could help to shed some more light on this situation it would be much appreciated. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 09:30, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems like a hoax to me. There's no mention of Fragplatz in the German Wikipedia either. Delete unless other evidence can be provided. Siuenti (talk) 15:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It is a hoax. I've gone through the first revision and its sources. Apart from the gramatically wrong plural Fragplatzen, the most obvious fake is source No. 4, which is in fact this book. The "unofficial status" is referenced with a map of aviation infrastructure in Switzerland (No. 2). The image has been taken from the article Speakeasy and doesn't show a Dusseldorf location at all, and so on. To sum it up: a blatant hoax. Delete. De728631 (talk) 20:45, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The term is complete nonsense, and the redirect bogus. Speedy deleting per WP:SNOWBALL. -- The Anome (talk) 19:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
