The result was redirect to Leet. (non-admin closure) NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 02:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article has no content apart from a box saying 'search Wiktionary for Appendix:Internet slang'. I've checked 'Appendix:Internet slang' in Wiktionary and found no mention of '@$$'. Also, the title is offensive and it does not descibe the origin of '@$$' or usage, for example. Previous edits have shown vandalism, offensive language and a personal attack.

- speedy keep Perfectly valid soft redirect. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Wikipedia is not censored and what one editor finds offensive is not so to another. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Ass. JJL (talk) 03:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, a valid soft redirect. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
- Keep per WP:NOTCENSORED. Cosmic Latte (talk) 06:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NOTRETARDED. What? How in the hell is this useful as a soft redirect for anything? Its totally not plausible. JBsupreme (talk) 10:04, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Leet as a plausible search term - the current soft redirect target does not mention "@$$" and hence is pretty useless. ~ mazca t|c 11:42, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep- Redirects are cheap. And last I checked, we're WP:NOTCENSORED Umbralcorax (talk) 17:16, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Redirects are cheap as noted above. Also, per WP:NOTCENSORED and WP:IDONTLIKEIT, aspects of the nom's rationale for deleting I don't consider to be valid. Is there anyone left in the world who still finds the word "ass" (which obviously @$$ references) offensive? 23skidoo (talk) 13:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a redirect (either to Leet, or Ass or pretty much anywhere) as a way to avoid having to delete vandalism from the page; if we delete it, it'll just get recreated; better to leave it as a redirect. Of course, making it a banned title would work too. And if we don't have any citations showing its use in the language, maybe it should be deleted. Citations, anyone? (Note: I'm the original creator of the redirect, based on the fact that, when I created it, @$$ was listed on the List of internet slang to which I redirected it.)
