[edit] Gnat line
Likely neologism. Google for "gnat line" georgia = ~900 hits: [1] Incorrectly tagged as speedy; listing here. No vote. · Katefan0(scribble) 05:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

- Redirect per Filiocht. 219 of Kate's hits are unique, including domains like usinfo.state.gov, which places this above the typical neologism. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 19:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

*Delete It is a neologism, even if it happens to be a neologism mentioned at usinfo.state.gove. Also, it is not obvious to me that the supposed Gnat Line is caused by a Fall Line, or that the next reader would see any connection - therefore, I think that is the wrong place to redirect. If we keep, we should redirect to Gnat, but I think deletion is the best choice here. Johntex\talk 23:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

- The gnat line has nothing to do with gnats, except that gnats are bothersome pests throughout the entire Southeast United States. There is no merit to the claim in the article that the gnat line is a congregation of gnats that bisects the state of Georgia. Gnat line is apparently a neologism refering to the fall line. --TantalumTelluride 23:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I have deleted the nonesense in the article and replaced it with relatively factual information (and, I admit, some speculation). In any case, it is better now than it was before. Still, I think that it should be redirected to Fall line. --TantalumTelluride 04:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
