While this was the initial title of the article back in January 2011, it was moved in just under a day. It doesn't have significant history and is a highly unlikely search term. "mossad shark and zionist vulture" -wikipedia returns four results, all of which I suspect still derive from Wikipedia mirrors. --BDD (talk) 22:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I suggest that Mossad shark and Zionist vulture is just deleted. It was moved in an effort to keep the article alive (which succeeded, in no small way thanks to extensive socking [1] [2]) (Btw, the maker of this is long since banned from wikipedia). And as was stated: a highly unlikely term to search for. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 23:14, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and Huldra. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 00:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Actually this search criteria "mossad shark" " zionist vulture" -wikipedia" should have been used. With this one you get a few more results, including at least one reliable source. Cheers and happy united Jerusalem day, Broccolo (talk) 14:21, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep no matter how unlikely the nom thinks the search term is, the statistics show that it is well used (22 hits in April for example), so deletion will inconvenience people for no benefit. Thryduulf (talk) 18:18, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't sound like a great deal to me. We often operate under a sort of legal fiction at RfD and similar discussions that every use of a term is deliberate—that 22 readers (we'll be generous and assume no repeats) had the term "Mossad shark and Zionist vulture" in their heads and sought it out. But try this little experiment: type "Mossad" into the Wikipedia search box. Look at what shows up. Isn't it reasonable to suppose some, even most, of those 22 people saw a novel, humorous search term and decided to see where it led? A pity we have no way of testing this, but given the paucity of uses elsewhere, it certainly seems plausible. --BDD (talk) 20:35, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, Huldra and Malik. There might be a case for separate redirects Mossad shark and Zionist vulture, but to join the two together is silly and, as others have pointed out, unlikely to be used as a search term. --NSH001 (talk) 15:04, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Thryduulf (talk) 01:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not used on target page, and seems to be obscure and not primarily referring to the rapper based on Google hits ("allah justice" -wikipedia). BDD (talk) 17:40, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete web search tells me he's the son of Gza or its another moniker for him (not sure which is which). Still, if the former is true then its better to redlink it and if the latter is true then this could be deleted as an obscure synonym--Lenticel (talk) 00:56, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This can be useful as an article of its own. Currently this redirects to Crime, which is too wide. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 07:06, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • This really shouldn't be a red link, so either write an article or retarget to somewhere more specific. I've not found anything that would make a better target than the general article, but I'm open to there being something. Thryduulf (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:REDLINK. I can't conceive of someone searching for "non-violent crime" without knowing what crime is. The redirect promises discussion of a nonexistent topic. Delete to encourage creation. --BDD (talk) 17:41, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per BDD.--Lenticel (talk) 00:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
