Megadeath was not a word used by Herman Kahn in "On Thermonuclear War" or other books and talks

I've read Herman Kahn's books On Thermonuclear War, On Escalation, and Thinking About the Unthinkable, and his testimony to the June 1959 Congressional Hearings on the "Biological and Environmental Effects of Nuclear War", and nowhere does NOT use the term "megadeath", which as far as I'm aware was invented by Stanley Kubrick in his 1964 film "Dr Strangelove". I've also read arm-waving apocryphal allegations made by recent "biographers" of Herman Kahn, which claim he used "megadeath" in the 1959 hearings (where they also misrepresent his excellent testimony entirely), which he clearly did not from the published testimony. Can anyone cite any examples of Kahn's writings (including page numbers, or quotations of sentences) containing "megadeath"? 82.21.58.162 (talk) 21:24, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[[[reply]

Options discussed included "keep as is", "keep as redirect to Megadeth" (a plausible spelling error), and "keep as disambiguation page". See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Megadeath for a record of the debate. Further discussion should occur on this page. Rossami (talk) 22:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
