Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Knack of flying

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous. Several voters said "merge and delete", a vote that is inconsistent with the GFDL requirement to preserve attribution history. No one, however, argued for the preservation of the article as is. I am going to call this as a qualified "keep" in the sense that both merges and redirects are variations of keep.

Switching hats to my role as an ordinary editor, I have turned it into a redirect to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I have not merged it into the artice because I personally consider the topic trivia (that is, not encyclopedic). If, however, anyone wants to merge content, you may easilty retrieve it from the page history. You may also change the redirect to point to one of the sub-articles rather than the main article if you think it appropriate. Rossami (talk) 02:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think the key with this one is to throw yourself at "keep" and miss... (i.e. delete) DopefishJustin (・∀・) 21:03, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
As much as I like this bit in the novels, I think I have to say Merge and delete. --Laura Scudder | Talk 21:14, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- What's wrong with a redirect? Are there other potential articles under this title? Kappa 22:08, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, but who would look this up? If you know the title then you've probably read the book already. DopefishJustin (・∀・) 20:29, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
