[edit] To the pain

Original research by admission of creator; see Talk:To the pain for more details WCFrancis 02:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete or Merge to The Princess Bride since that book and movie is where the source phrase is actually from. In fact, the 'canonical bout' is paraphrased from said sources when Westley bluffs Prince Humperdinck and no mention is made in the article of that fact. Hardly original research when it's plagerism :P Nezu Chiza 03:06, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as impossibly unencylopedic. This is just a nn catchphrase from a movie, not a cultural/language phenomenon. MCB 06:22, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as obvious nonsense. TheMadBaron 10:35, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to The Princess Bride, for the reasons given by Nezu Chiza. KeithD (talk) 13:28, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect as above. ≈ jossi ≈ 15:48, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. The redirect doesn't make sense. Yes, it was in the book. No, people who follow a To the pain link somewhere are not going to easily understand why they are looking at a Princess Bride page. Bunchofgrapes 22:18, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, moviecruft, not notable even among the people who always say "I do not think that word means what you think it means" and other PB lines. Barno 00:47, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
    • And no redirect, in agreement with Bunchofgrapes. Searching Google on this phrase in quotation marks, none of the links on the first two pages is relevant to the movie. Barno 00:51, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
