Changing this redirect in to an article

[edit]

I would like to change this redirect in to an article as the AOL artcle (which this links to) doesn't decribe what an AOLer is and isn't really a good place for the information. Please see WP:REDIRECT#PLA which describes the principle of least astonishment. All input is welcome. Thanks. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 21:52, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You'd have to have some firm evidence for that: AOLer is not quite Eternal September level. I don't believe that there are sufficient reliable sources to warrant an article on the general concept of the "AOL noob" right now.

I will look to see if there is anything reliabel. If not, how about a soft redirect to a Wikitionary article? -      Hydroxonium (talk) 04:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see that as being more appropriate than the current redirect. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 08:25, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the input. I'll look for a significant number of reliable sources over the next few weeks. I have to agreee with you that it's highly unlikely I'll find them. How about expanding the AOLer information in the Eternal September article and pointing the redirect there? Thanks. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 17:51, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
