No real meaning or content (preceding unsigned comment by Sceptre (talk • contribs) )

• Delete. This has got to be in here under a page of insults or something; either way it does not deserve its own article. Devotchka 17:59, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to The dozens, like it has been redirected before. Consider protecting the redirect if vandalism continues. jni 18:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy revert. This is just simple vandalism. -- Plutor 18:27, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as per jni, protect if it happens again since there will probably never be an article there. -- Kjkolb 18:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redir like it was per jni. alerante ✆ 19:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• I hope this is not too hasty of me, but I have reverted to the redirect; this has redirect has been restored several times now. If Wikipedia really is lacking sufficient information on yo momma, it can be added to the dozens, and discussion can take place there instead. —HorsePunchKid→龜 19:54, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Please protect the redirect. Thanks. --Jacqui ^{★ 22:05, 27 October 2005 (UTC)}
• Comment: As I understand the policy, we cannot make the article a redirect while it is listed for AfD, unless we have the consent of the nominator. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I will leave a message for the nominator to see if s/he will agree to a protected redirect. Johntex\^talk 23:10, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Wikipedia:Guide to deletion says not to redirect during the discussion. However, in practice, some people redirect right away to reduce the load on AfD and others think that it should wait until the nomination has run its full course. -- Kjkolb 03:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect: I'm voting to redirect it (instead of deleting it). How do you close it early (on consensus)?Sceptre 08:39, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I don't know how much this counts for, but unfortunately the Wikipedia guidelines state very clearly that "Non-administrators should not close discussions in which they have been involved", among other things. I don't think it'd be a big problem if you closed it out, but there are probably some admins around who are sticklers for the Rules. —HorsePunchKid→龜 18:23, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

It appears to say that they can close near-unaminous AfD discussions apart from "delete" as well, and I can count 5 redirects + 2 votes for reverting to the redirect, and one asking for a redirect (8) against 1 for delete, so it appears to be a supermajority for redirection. I'll close the discussion, but I'll accept admin intervention (It's the first time for me with AfD) Sceptre 11:10, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
