I can't imagine why anybody would search for this. Then again, apparently 20 people looked at it yesterday. Most google hits seem to be derived from this page. – hysteria18 (talk) 13:21, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, the correct action in this case it Relist at WP:RFD.Achowat (talk) 15:34, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. WP isn't a directory of malapropisms. And this isn't a redirect so I don't see what RFD has to do with anything. R'n'B (call me Russ) 19:50, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • The page is a Redirect and WP:Redirects for discussion is a better place to discuss redirects than here. Achowat (talk) 22:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, I'm sorry, the page is not a redirect. A redirect is a page that starts with the special instruction "#REDIRECT". This page clearly is not one of those. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 01:25, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, trout my silly and call me a doughnut-hole, I just confused Disambigs for Redirects; I need me a WikiBreak (or at least a nap). Achowat (talk) 06:28, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to my Google search, a certain famous retailer had 50,638 items matching the term "Cask of monte cristo". Sadly, they turned out to be lying bastards. I guess we'll have to delete as a ludicrous search term. If people get Poe and Dumas confused then they deserve to wind up on the wrong article. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 21:42, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a place for the equivalent of a Jeopardy! "Before and After" response. Collect (talk) 15:21, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:PTM, despite how delicious a cask full of Monte Cristo sammiches sounds right now. "Cask of monte cristo" can't plausibly refer to either of the things it disambiguates; it's too much of a change in the word meanings. As Suriel says, would anyone *really* think that Dumas's book is about a barrel? Writ Keeper 15:31, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
