Singles Events (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Advertising fork of speed dating. Created by same user who made Ticket4one and Rabbi Yaacov Deyo, also under AFD. — coelacan talk — 05:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Speed dating. No need for this fork, since the information is already in the other article. --N Shar 06:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect sounds good. Delete per Coelacan's comments below John Vandenberg 06:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• I don't think the redirect is appropriate. There are lots and lots of different sorts of "singles events" that aren't "speed dating". If such a disambiguation page were created, that would be helpful, but this is just a spam page, and the redirect will never be used, and if it were used I doubt anyone using it would expect to arrive at "speed dating" any more than any other potential "singles event". Why not Ladies' night, instead, among other possibilities? But nobody's using this before the article creator made it, so a redirect is just going to sit around anyway. — coelacan talk — 06:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• You may be right about it not being specific to speed dating, but I bet people have searched for this before (hoping to find events in their areas or something silly like that). We could redirect to Courtship instead (for some reason Dating redirects there). --N Shar 06:28, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Probably because it has a "commercial dating services" subsection. I'm not strongly against either redirect, but I still think it ought to be a redlink, to encourage some ambitious editor to come along and write a good singles' events article that would actually include the various phenomena, or at least a good dab page. But, hey, I could go either way on this. — coelacan talk — 06:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• I agree. A redirect here would be too ambiguous. John Vandenberg 22:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Coelacan makes a valid point, red-link it--Hu12 07:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete An unneceary and un-encyclapedic article Urbane User (Talk) (Contributions) 10:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• delete as unencyclopedic self-promotional vandalism. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 21:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• delete. Neologism derived from ordinary words in an attempt to corner its use to support a business concept. This pretty thinly veiled attempt at advertising should be removed forthwith. Ohconfucius 01:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
