[edit] Cheshire moon

Original research (or rather, an invented phrase). See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Rising crescent moon. --Eric Forste 00:21, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This was improperly and not completely posted to VfD. I'm finishing the process. No vote. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-02-13 11:42 Z

• Move to dry moon leaving Cheshire moon as a redirect because "dry moon" is more well known: [1] [2] [3] (the last misinterprets dry moon). The article should be expanded appropriately. Cheshire moon originally appeared in USATODAY. — Joe Kress 22:09, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
• It gets a few thousand Google hits, so the 'phrase' has to have come from somewhere. 132.205.15.43 22:13, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Lunar phase. Keep, and expand. Megan1967 00:57, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, dupe. Wyss 01:56, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• According to [4] the phrase itself dates back atleast to 1989. At [5] is a painting of the Cheshire Moon. 132.205.45.110 20:04, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Well sourced outside Wikipedia. However, I have no evidence whether "Cheshire moon" or "dry moon" is the more common usage. Rossami (talk) 02:45, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
