[edit] Delayed Fall

Delayed Fall (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unreferenced stub. The subject is already covered in Cartoon physics. Shalom Hello 15:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep or merge. Not having references is not an excuse. It's easy to nominate for deletion, but a good admonistrator/editor would go for himself and look for the links and references, or he should just shut-up. If EVERYTHING this article has is covered in the cartoon physics, then merge. M.V.E.i. 16:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It is already covered at least as well at Cartoon physics, and Google offers no evidence that this is a commonly used term for the phenomenon, so a redirect is not appropriate. Iain99 17:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect per the above. --Djsasso 17:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't think a redirect is the way to go - the term "delayed fall" just doesn't seem to be used for this aspect of cartoon physics - it's more likely to refer to something else, such as a drop in blood pressure occuring some time after a drug is given. Iain99 17:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Smoosh! delete this per Iain99, as he/she raises a valid point. !paradigm! 18:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)!paradigm!
  • Delete. Even when you restrict the gsearch to articles that also have "cartoon", most of the 23 hits are about the delay of a fall TV schedule. Not a notable term. --Fabrictramp 17:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
