[edit] Beheading video

Not a real term and no sources given. No meaning beyond that of the two words put together. 165.189.91.148 20:51, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete not even a colliquialism, let alone a notable one; anything that it could be developed into is probably covered elsewhere Peyna 21:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to decapitation which discusses many of the "beheading video" cases. I wouldn't say this is a colloquial term, but it is safe to say that it is something of a trend. Not enough to justify its own article, but I think the redirect has some potential usefulness though someone is more likely to go straight to Nicholas Berg et al. 23skidoo 21:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• If rewritten to include references, Merge with War on Terror; if the references cannot be provided, delete as a neologism. 147.70.242.21 22:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - commonly used term, well known. At minimum Redirect to decapitation, but is used in its own right in relation to recent conflicts. Zordrac 23:36, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Could you please cite some sources for this. Sorry, but your say-so does not count as verification of popularity. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 03:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as saith zordrac. SchmuckyTheCat 00:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Sources have been included and if this is merged into decapitation, then I will suggest that car bomb be merged into explosives. Beheading videos are a psy-ops war tactic in their own right at this point. Pozole 01:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • comment. This user created, and has been the sole editor of, this article. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 02:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Are you implying tht I am being less than honest? Yes I initiated and have ben the sole editor of this entry. So when can we start merging car bomb and suicide bombing into bomb? I'd also like to see water torture to be deleted and merged into torture, if possible. Pozole 16:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

• • • Comment I'm not implying anything. WP:AFD says, "If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, and clearly base your recommendations on the deletion policy." I didn't see that acknowledgment in your comment. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 19:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
