Nothing links to this, nor is this "alternate way" of "spelling" the word "fuck" ever mentioned in the article. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 18:37, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; Wikipedia is not a game for spelling out the names of letters. —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:54, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is getting 15-30 hits a month and is neither inaccurate nor harmful. Thryduulf (talk) 19:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Those hits are probably because it shows up in the search prediction pull-down, and it is harmful because this redirect is playing games with foul language. Wikipedia does not play games with swear words or bathroom talk; for example, there is no article on poopy diapers or other talk that makes some four-year-olds laugh; when such words are required, whether in direct quotes, or in discussions about the words themselves, or in discussions about the topics themselves, we go ahead and use the words. We don't use asterisks or ellipses or talismans such as "H-E-Double-Toothpicks" to avoid using a word. This redirect is an avoidance of a word, and calls extra attention to it, like a four-year-old giggling about poopy diapers. Not encyclopedic. Delete. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:47, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    How do you know where these hits are coming from? Thryduulf (talk) 23:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Anomalocaris didn't say s/he knew for sure where they came from but I agree with his educated guess. Even if you ignore that first sentence, though, his/her entire argument still stands. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 03:07, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:14, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This was a result of a 2006 AfD when this was still an article. However, it seems that now it is meaningless, as the cheating at the MMORPGs section does no longer exist today. No references to this trick were mentioned now, so I call it deleted. The Junk Police (reports|works) 17:36, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MAHAA TV[edit]

The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to List of Telugu language television channels#News. It is not mentioned at the current target where as the new one at least provides context. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:11, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mahaa Tv is only a TV channel and redirection to media of india doesnot make sense (This redirect should be deleted or a proper article should be written) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bssasidhar (talk • contribs)

  • Keep. First, there is a prior AfD decision that this subject is not sufficiently notable to support an independent article. Redirects from a non-notable sub-topic to a more notable parent topic are routine. Second, if the situation has changed and the topic is now more notable, content can be overwritten onto the redirect without the need to delete the pagehistory. That hypothesis should probably be tested via drafts and requests for comment in the userspace, though. Rossami (talk) 13:40, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Topics not covered in the article and google searching doesn't reveal any reason why they might be. Tassedethe (talk) 01:21, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
