Talk:Boner law
This redirect was nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion on 20 October 2016. The result of the discussion was keep and restore Boner Law. |
Note to CSD admin: We've had quite a few abou Andrew Bonar Law over at WP:RfD in the last couple of weeks, from the misconception that Bonar Law was his double-barrelled surname, essentially: Bonar was his middle name but used it as his first name, like James Paul McCartney does. Some have been kept, some have been deleted, but if Boner Law has been deleted then so should this: otherwise the case-insensitivity of the search engine makes it a bit nonsense but not much (external links etc: no hits, no internal links, that is usually a good guideline). It really is unlikely to believe this is a helpful redirect. I supr pose a boner law would be some kind of law against indecent exposure, since boner (DAB) lists an erection as an entry. Perhaps I am being too cryptic or puerile (ult. latin from children, puellam puellis, etc: technically little girls but that is rather a modern translation because "girl" actually meant males or females until about 15th century, so when virgil writes "virginibus canto", for example, virginibus being the late latin overtake of puellam, it is translated in e.g. Oxford as "I sing for girls and boys", "virginibus" means girls and boys, not just girls, as does "puella". "Stella puellam" does... oh I am not here to teach Classics, just delete it). It will fail at RfD under the argument I give above, but it is quicker and less painful to put it out of its misery blessfully. Si Trew (talk) 22:37, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
