America's Best Channel[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 15:10, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:POV, this is an unfounded bias. -- Tavix (talk) 21:33, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete At the top of the fact that this is nothing more than an opinion, I can't imagine anyone looking up "the best" anything and expecting to find it. BlazeTheMovieFan (talk) 01:20, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I could see this might be a pun by the company itself, used in ads etc, but don't get much joy from search results. Si Trew (talk) 06:44, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, also probably delete as an ad --Lenticel (talk) 00:11, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Almost a G11; it dates back to 2006, though I couldn't even find any official usage as a slogan.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 01:25, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, vague. A lot of places could conceivably be called "the land of ice and snow." -- Tavix (talk) 17:14, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:NOTLYRICS. This lyric is from Immigrant Song; a quote there by Robert Plant, "we did come from the land of the ice and snow," was stated in regard to going to Iceland, not coming from there. It's not clear whether "the land of the ice and snow" refers to Germany or England. Strange. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:50, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete Iceland has a lot less ice and snow than Greenland or Antarctica -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:54, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above and because it is not mentioned at the target.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 00:58, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A joke term from a Simpsons joke, this is unhelpful or misleading for Wikipedia. Turkeys aren't the only walking birds. (Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!) BDD (talk) 15:01, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Other than literal images of birds walking, Google puts results for Grandpa Simpson's rambling story high in the results, suggesting prominency, however this joke is not even worthy of mention in the article for the episode in which this joke appears, Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:28, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Turkey's aren't exactly flightless, so it's misleading from that standpoint. It's too bad we don't pardon redirects, this one could use it. -- Tavix (talk) 17:19, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete as vague since there are lots of Birds that can walk --Lenticel (talk) 00:30, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't care about birds much, but I know for a fact that there are many birds that can walk. I highly doubt anyone would even search that, it's extremely unlikely search term. BlazeTheMovieFan (talk) 01:18, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Bird feet and legs, which discusses how birds walk, since we all agree that many birds can walk, and this is a reasonably-common phrase (e.g. a couple of thousand GBooks hits after you make efforts to filter out mishits), suggesting it's a potential search term. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 01:20, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting page, though I don't think "Walking bird" is a likely search term for it. "Bird walking", maybe. --BDD (talk) 04:37, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The bird version of dog walking? -- Tavix (talk) 16:18, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete one would more likely think of ostriches, but there are many land-bound birds, of which turkeys are not one (they can fly) -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:55, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Are there any birds that can not walk? Otherwise we might as well just target it at Bird. Si Trew (talk) 06:49, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Loon#Behaviour and ecology claims (with citation) that loons can't walk. (When I was growing up I always heard that hummingbirds can't walk either, but the internet seems to think that's an urban legend.) 210.6.254.106 (talk) 13:12, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Nice find, but Loon#Etymology and taxology contradicts that by saying "the name refers to the loon’s poor ability to walk on land", which is not quite the same as inability. That is marked as {{cn}}, though. Si Trew (talk) 08:03, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 15:01, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This one was a surprise - the target is the Irish word that means small road. Not a global definition. It is so vague a search term, we even have a Template:small road. Possible target is Side road though I first thought Minor road but that is a redirect to Side road. Any better ideas? Legacypac (talk) 00:32, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • strong delete or disambiguate WP:BIAS this is not the Irish Wikipedia -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:49, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:RFD#D2, not at target (which translates it as "little road"). Perhaps Country lane would be a possible target, because it links to articles about the various meanings reasonably well. But it doesn't say "small road" specifically. (And is a small road a narrow one or a short one?) Si Trew (talk) 07:11, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The etymology was changed from "small road" to "little road" with this change of 4 January 2011 bz User:O'Dea. (The redirect was created in November 2007 and has not changed since.) The target itself was PRODded on 13 September 2009 (here) but was de-PRODded two days later as contested. Si Trew (talk) 07:23, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • just delete it There are lots of kinds of roads that someone in some way might think of as "small", but size isn't defining for any of them. You might as well redirect it to "road", which is pointless. Mangoe (talk) 13:32, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Country lane would be a better target, or just delete. Johnbod (talk) 14:29, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - hopelessly vague, and per Mangoe. I briefly did a search to see if there were any instances of streets named "Small Road" which were notable (and also Small Street, Small Boulevard, Small Avenue) but as you can imagine this was incredibly frustrating and completely unproductive.

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 15:00, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While the search phrase is the meaning of the target's name, the phrase is more commonly used to refer to Jesus. It is a Christian worship song too. I suggest deleting as vague. Neelix redirect so could be G6 Housekeeping Legacypac (talk) 00:19, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or disambiguate WP:BIAS there are many exalted ones -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:50, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate: There are several people whom this phrase can refer to. Jarble (talk) 22:51, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Many beings, some of disputed existence, could accurately be described by the definition of this term.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 00:56, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
