Deletion Proposal edit

{{prod2|Correct and sourceable, but NN, slang term}}

As the other editor pointed out "Head Cheese" is most certainly a correct and popular slang term for smegma, which can be easily sourced. The second editor still suggested that the article be deleted for being non-notable. I agree that disambig pages should not be made when it's only redirecting for one entry. The best way to handle these situations is a note with the redirect at the top of the main page. However, this page was made specifically because that information was repeatedly deleted from the Head cheese article in the form of information contained within or as a note on top. The reason being that this is an admittedly disgusting topic and the other editors didn't want it associated with that page. The problem is that this is a real term, regardless of how disgusting it is, one that has a degree of popularity (a simple google search even reveals this) and would be searched by many people who may not know the correct medical term of smegma. Wiki does not censor based on how disgusting or unseemly a term or topic is. Information concerning how to redirect to the proper topic should exist somewhere on Wikipedia. If the editors of Head cheese will not allow a note on top of that article, then this disambig page is the only compromise.

I fully support deletion of this page IF the redirect can be integrated into the Head cheese article or in some other way on Wikipedia as I'm sure there are people searching the term "head cheese" but looking for the topic "smegma." If deletion is proposed again, please make an Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Head cheese (disambiguation) page first for it to be discussed instead of just a blanket deletion. Getting an opinion from a number of people is significant in deciding how relevant a search term might be.Flygongengar (talk) 17:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

The note to smegma has been re-added to the Head Cheese article edit

It seems the editors of the original have calmed down and stopped deleting the note redirecting to smegma. As such, I no longer have any objects to deleting this page. I don't know how to restart the procedure. If someone else could do it.Flygongengar (talk) 21:36, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
