The result of the discussion was Retarget have sex and having sex to sexual intercourse; and making love to making love (disambiguation). Tikiwont (talk) 17:09, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Both Having sex and Have sex were recently changed to redirect to Sex (disambiguation) after having been directed at Sexual intercourse since 2007. Original targets should likely be restored. The target of Making love was also changed (to Making love (disambiguation)), but I have already reversed this. It should perhaps be discussed as well.

  • My thinking's sort of the opposite of yours. "Having sex" and "have sex" refer only to sexual intercourse, whereas "making love" (per the existence of the disambiguation page) refers to other stuff too. I'm undecided on whether sexual intercourse is the primary topic for "making love" – in everyday usage it certainly is, but I think when typing it into Wikipedia a reader's perhaps more likely to be looking for the album or the film or the song. (If a child or non-native English speaker is looking for a definition, they'll get itin the first sentence of the dab page.) So: retarget have sex and having sex to sexual intercourse; and making love to making love (disambiguation). – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:15, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep.] —JmaJeremy✆✎ 05:31, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing deletion. The title is very generic and can be used again for future films made by the director. Krzna (talk) 05:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article was located at this title almost four months, so incoming links are likely to exist. If in future there's another article it could refer to, then it should be deleted (or turned into a disambiguation page), but for now I don't think it's doing any harm. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - as noted above, may be linked externally, no value in deletion. WilyD 08:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
