The result was redirect to Diving as a plausible search term. I added a sentence at Diving#Non-competitive diving but anyone can edit or move it elsewhere as desired. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 13:05, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Page Belly flop has incoming links from articles (see Special:WhatLinksHere/Belly_flop), and people will look it up, so some sort of article is needed here, or a visible redirect to wikt:belly flop, not merely an unhelpful blank-wall "there is no such article" screen. (The bellyflop is an undesired way of entering the water in diving (not scuba). In it, the body enters the water horizontally or nearly so, belly down. Sometimes something is said to bellyflop, meaning that it failed.) Google search for "belly flop" OR bellyflop OR bellyflopped found "About 795,000 results" and many images. And see Talk:Belly flop.

Redirect Bellyflop and belly flop to Diving#Entry or Diving#Non-competitive diving and add a sentence about it. I am leaning towards the former as accidental bellyflops can occur in professional diving as well._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 06:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just procedurally, shouldn't this be at RfD not AfD? Not worth changing venues over. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:28, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Viable search term. Szzuk (talk) 18:13, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as above. Potential search term and redirects are cheap. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 00:41, 31 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]
