[edit] Sportsology

Delete: Fails WP:WEB in every respect. Alexa ranking is 614,817 [1] (WP:WEB suggests 10,000 or better). To check for mention in national/internaional media, I searched for sites that link to the site www.sportsology.net. Result; 210. Of the first 50, none were significant media outlets. On the third point of WP:WEB, I counted the number of forum participants. WP:Web suggests 5,000 or more. Sportsology has 320. --Durin 19:22, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• redirect to Sports science. Trollderella 19:55, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Trollderella's redirect vote is nonsense, since this is not an English language word and there is no mention of the term in the sports science article. Zoe 21:24, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for following me around commenting on all my votes Zoe, I feel very loved. The reason I think it should stay as a redirect is that, although it is not a word, it is a term that someone might possibly search for when looking for sports science, and so there is no reason not to keep it as a redirect.

• lol, I think zoe is being polite. The proposed redirect is not just nonsense, it's totally random and bizarre. Sportsology isn't a word, or even an accepted neologism; if it were, your comment might make sense. As it is, why redirect anywhere except the rubbish bin? I vote: Delete.

• I think it might be a valid redirect. Science of life=biology. science of earth=geology, etc. So some person not knowing the correct term, might look under the name sportsology. - Mgm|^(talk) 07:22, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
