This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was REDIRECTED to The Wizard of Oz. Unsigned vote was disregarded. Consensus among remaining votes is not to have as an independent article, so redirect seems like an appropriate resolution. Postdlf 03:26, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The flying monkey creatures in the Wizard of Oz doesn't need an article. I tried to search if Berry College's football mascot really is a "flying monkey." According to their official athletics website as of now, they don't have an American football team (don't think the person is implying soccer because this school is in the state of Georgia) and their team name is Vikings/Lady Vikings. [1] In addition, searching "Flying Monkey" + "Berry College" doesn't come any regarding the school's athletics. The article's creator's recent article Michael Bailey is currently in VfD and has history of vandalism but has done some legit edits. --Chill Pill Bill 20:21, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Wizard of Oz. Minor character. References to Berry College seems false. Zzyzx11 | Talk 20:25, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. The creatures in the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz are described as Winged Monkeys not Flying Monkeys, so a redirect should be from that or from flying monkey anyway. So I doubt even this redirect is of any value. In any case, if we must redirect, redirect should go to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as Wizard of Oz is already a redirect, and points to a disambig! No big deal. Andrewa 21:59, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. check out my more relevent re-edit of the entry. I suspect the Berry college part of the original entry was just meant as an insult to the college; their mascot is a viking. May 10, 2005
