Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apple bong

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 keep as merge and redirect.

The destination of the merge is not so clear from the discussion below. Reviewing the article and the comments, I am going to be bold and make the merge into smoking pipe because there doesn't seem to be anything intrinsic to this design that limits it to drug paraphenalia.

• Expand apple bong's section in Bong and delete. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 02:17, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I'd say Wikisource, but should we really be dispensing this at all? Merge non-how-to content with bong. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:20, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
• Delete. Or add to WikiDrugDic! Fabartus 03:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. NeoJustin 04:28, June 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Smoking pipe, create redirect at Apple pipe, then delete Apple bong. This device is not a bong.   —Teknic^T-M-C 04:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 06:34, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as outlined by Teknic. This is definitely not a bong.—chris.lawson (talk) 07:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per Teknic. -- Lochaber 09:58, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with bong --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 10:59, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• weak merge No one should make one of these, but the concept is intresting/bizarre --The_stuart 14:20, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into relevant article. The apple smoking aperatus may not be truely considered a "bong". --Howrealisreal 18:26, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Apples are hard to light, and the genius of stoners is considerable. If we merge every hare brained toking system, this article will be several megs and have obscurred its information behind gleeful expositions of favorite things. Geogre 18:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into article about drug paraphenalia. These exist, but don't really deserve their own article. Tombride 18:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into smoking pipe. Apples and other fruit are commonly used as an improvised pipe. The idea that it can't work or that it does not work well is simply incorrect. Additionally, it is not a bong by any definition. Triddle 00:08, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect -- and merge anything useful into bong. - Longhair | Talk 07:42, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• M/R to smoking pipe/bong. Alphax ^τεχ 11:02, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
