[edit] TAPXYH

Not an English word; it's Cyrillic! And not notable! Fnarf999 23:10, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• delete - This is absurd. The lettering on the bottle is not the English letters "TAPXYH". It's in Cyrillic. The transliterated version should be "Tarhun", not in all-caps. The Cyrllic letter "Ρ" is NOT THE SAME as the English letter "P" even if they look the same. And anways, it's an obscure soft drink and shouldn't be here, especially since the article contains zero information about what it is. If the article stays, though, it MUST be moved to Tarhun or something similar. Fnarf999 23:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete There already IS a Tarhun page and it contains pretty much the same content as this one. Metros232 23:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Tarhun. Redirects are cheap and useful. Reyk _YO! 23:57, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect per Reyk (redirects are very, very cheap in my philosophy.) Grandmasterka 04:38, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Nobody's going to enter that in all caps into the search box, so the redirect is worthless. Stifle (talk) 14:44, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment- It's not unreasonable to think someone will type that into a search box considering that that's how it's written on the bottle. Reyk _YO! 23:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Redirect. People make a mistake (which is not notable anyway), because they should not type in "Y" for something which is not "Y" (but indeed something foreign). People do not know it as "Tarhun" but "TAPXYH", because that's the spelling like it looks like. Hence the article creation was in good faith. Yy-bo 12:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy redirect. Redirects are cheap. This is the English Wikipedia. If any native English-speaker saw a bottle of this and were looking for information about it, it is just as likely that they'd type in TAPXYN as anything else. (During the Cold War many people perceived "CCCP" as the English letters C, C, C, P). And it's very unlikely that disambiguation will ever be needed! Furthermore... is the transliteration unique, or is there more than one way to transliterate it? If so, do we have redirects for the others? Dpbsmith (talk) 14:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
