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

Fairly implausible. "Normal" for "Norman" might be somewhat common, but there hasn't been an article at Norman Finkelstein on From Time Immemorial since 2006. – hysteria18 (talk) 17:32, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete indeed. Implausible. Could be speedy. Nice notifying by nom, about my 6 yr old mistype: appreciated. -DePiep (talk) 18:37, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have made it a Speedy for R3: implausible mistype. No harm will be done. -DePiep (talk) 21:19, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy-deletion declined. This was the original location of the content prior to your pagemove in 2006.  Created that long ago is certainly not "recently created" as required by the CSD criterion.  Discussion is required here to confirm that there is no likelihood of external inbound links to that title. Incidentally, I agree that the probability of inbound links is small.  However, I also note that the redirect has existed without causing confusion or controversy for almost 6 years.  The bar for redirects is very low.  The project does not appear to gain anything by deleting this redirect.  Rossami (talk) 00:38, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Boring. The speedy rule says:R3. Implausible typos (check), and also when recently &tc. Further reading: WP:SNOWBALL, WP:LAWYER. -DePiep (talk) 23:29, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You have successfully quoted the title of the R3 criterion but missed the next two words which explicitly require it to have been "Recently created". Further reading: Process is important.  Rossami (talk) 21:12, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You missed the essence, of which i quoted the word also. Here it is in full: This criterion also applies to redirects created as a result of a page move of pages recently created at an implausible title. So, to explain the obvious, your argument "recently created" is only one argument in R3. And about your tone here: yes i can quote successfully, thank you. Can you achieve that level in reading? -DePiep (talk) 10:19, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: though typo is indeed plausible, overall the name seems to be too long to be useful. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 00:35, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

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

Mistakenly sent to AFD by Ale And Quail with rationale "Some one made this redirect to link a joke from a movie, to Orgasm. I think it's like fan-site material, juvenile and not encyclopedic." Moving here for proper discussion. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn't consciously link it as a reference to Office Space -- I thought it was part of the common vernacular. Vranak (talk) 03:17, 18 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah. I saw that its only links were two images from Office Space (and thought they didn't really need an informational link to Orgasm.)  Maybe I ought to have looked at when the redirect was created; I mis-presumed.  It still seems closer to Urban Dictionary material, than encyclopedia material, to me.  But I have no need to push that, if others disagree.  I've been running into a lot of crufty pages, and trying to clean them up, and after a few days of that I probably get a quick trigger finger.  Thanks.  Ale And Quail (talk) 03:55, 18 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep clearly a mistaken belief that this is only used in a single movie. WP:CHEAP 65.94.76.224 (talk) 06:28, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: stats show that this redirect is used. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 00:39, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
