Redirect to Dulce et Decorum Est. It's a famous line from that Wilfred Owen poem. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 18:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,

Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;

But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,

And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . .

Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,

As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,

He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

- I thought of redirecting it, but the vanity would remain in the edit history. It would make an excellent redirect once it's out of VfD. - Lucky 6.9 18:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it's a good idea to maintain the edit history. They're completely non-notable now, but if in six months time we're all jumping around to Gas Gas Quick Boys' latest album and they're booked to appear onstage with Bono in Live9, well I reckon it might be a good idea to say "we had 'em first." :) See also the first Franz Ferdinand (band) article. Wasn't much, was it? --Tony Sidaway^Talk 02:03, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not precisely analogous; Franz Ferdinand's first album had hit the UK top 10 a week before their first article was created. Gas Gas Quick Boys is still working on their first EP. Redirect to the poem Dulce et Decorum Est. If the band ever does become notable, the article can be recreated to be about them. --Metropolitan90 05:33, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, then recreate and redirect to ~~Wilfred Owen~~ Dulce et Decorum Est as per Lucky. Owen is an absolutely notable Great War poet. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:06, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops. Redirect to Dulce et Decorum Est; Tony's suggestion makes more sense. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:14, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am in erudite company; like what Rizo said. Alf 20:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and redirect, no need to panic about the edit history. Trollderella 21:19, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Tony Sidaway. Who would name a band after that (stunning but terribly sad) poem? JDoorjam 21:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Fucking indie rockers, that's who. -HX 23:29, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and to the poem rather than the poet, as per Tony --Doc (?) 00:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
