Only vaguely intelligible substub that fails to say the most imprtant things - what and where is this? Googling on "Top of the World" is virtually impossible, giving you items on Mt. Everest, the World trade Center, and the Carpenters song. Grutness...wha? 11:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Geez, Grutness, what do you mean you don't know where it is?... it says right in the article that it's "firmly developed in the leisure country hostage wind". You just make a right at the spinning purple applesauce ducks. If you hit the bubble brine pirate feathers, you've gone too far. I highly recommend checking it out next time you're at the liesure country hostage wind. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless someone can pin it down properly. After reading the article and the above I feel like I've just taken a trip on the highest transportable ride of the world. At least you made me laugh, Andrew  :) Alf ^melmac 13:35, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep I'll try a less confusing re-write after having found a picture of the thing. Alf ^melmac 01:15, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• A search in http://www.altavista.com seems to show that "hostage wind" is a literal translation of German "Geiselwind", perhaps as a result of an auto-translator being asinine. Geisel is German for "hostage", but also is a common German surname. AltaVista found 47,700 results for "Geiselwind". For example, a truckstop in Germany: see http://www.trucktravic.de/images/navi-eng/autohof.eng.htm . Anthony Appleyard 18:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as babelfish nonsense... but man is that funny!--Isotope23 18:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, but disambiguate the phrase, and possibly someone can write a new article from scratch if people feel the spinning restaurant is notable enough. Barno 20:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Disambiguation sounds reasonable. - Mgm|^(talk) 22:33, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Kelete! — Phil Welch 23:01, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment A Google search for "top of the world 95 meter gyro tower" led to the German Wikipedia article de:Fahrgeschäft which mentions Top of the World in the Rekorde section. Fg2 00:34, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Which in turn links to de:Top of the World, possibly the source of the English article. Fg2 00:41, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Which in turn is linked to right from the English article... Why did I run to Google? Fg2 00:43, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep? I replaced its text by a new tidied translation, with links to the Geiselwind town and leisure park. Anthony Appleyard 06:41, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Completely unencyclopedic subject. Don't disambiguate the phrase, or it'll just wind up in yet another AfD. / Peter ^Isotalo 00:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• (information): Geiselwind (misrendered hereinabove as "hostage wind") is a market town with 2323 inhabitants in Lower Franconia (Bavaria) in the district of Kitzingen in Germany. I made a page Geiselwind. Anthony Appleyard 16:08, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
