[edit] Yours truly,

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Also contains many unverifiable claims. Contested prod. Merope 19:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Valediction. I doubt anyone will search for Yours truly, but then that's a point which can be made fot the deletion of the article in the first place. That being said, redirects are cheap and I doubt a redirect to the album Yours Truly would useful at all. There might be some stuff to merge, but unless there are some references added to the claim of most common valediction, I'd say no. Irongargoyle 19:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Yours truly already redirects to Valediction. Irongargoyle 19:47, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Gorram it, I checked for a redirect first but only got the album. We can redirect to Valediction, but then I'd just tag the article {{db-redirtypo}}, so that brings us back to deletion. -- Merope 19:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• I merged its contents into Valediction, minus the stuff advertizing the music album Yours Truly. (Also, Yours Truly looks rather like non-notable run-of-the-mill pop music.) Anthony Appleyard 20:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• I've deleted the unsourced "most common valediction" claim from the text merged into valediction (as I doubt it would ever be verifiable), and rephrased slightly to make it a little tidier. DWaterson 22:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Given the merging of content, I would think the deletion discussion is now whether Yours truly, should be a redirect to Valediction. Redirects are cheap, and I suppose it's possible for someone to type it in with the comma (particularly if English is not his/her first language). Given that, I'm fine with voting for Redirect to Valediction. -- Merope 04:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
