I cant believe this article still exists! It was written a fair while ago, and no-one has added to it. What does everyone think? (User:Iamalegend)

Which will get deleted faster, an African Swallow or a European Swallow? Is there actually a type of swallow referred to as an african swallow? If so, could someone add details to this article, otherwise make it a redirect to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Darksun 10:54, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Redirect to Monty Python and the Holy Grail alone. If people want to write an article on the bird, they can break the redirect free. Hasn't happened yet. Geogre 14:45, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
There is no bird known only as the 'African Swallow'. Africa appears to have a lot of swallows. The European Swallow should not be deleted - it's another name for Hirundo rustica. Average Earthman 17:24, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Agree with Geogre. Redirect. Rick K 20:42, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Article needs to be expanded to mention laden and unladen airspeed velocities. If this information cannot be found, redirect as per Geogre. -- GWO 09:45, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- But the important question is, are they migratory? Rick K 09:47, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
What do I think? I think it's odd when an article is VfD'd by the person who wrote it. Anyhow, delete. The Swallow article has a redlink to South African cliff swallow (Hirundo spilodera), and there's also an unlisted Hirundo domicella which is called a West African Swallow in English. I'm therefore unsure whether a redirect to Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the right thing. Perhaps make it a disambiguation page between Swallow and Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I can reasonably imagine people looking it up either to find out about swallows or to find the film reference, so I think this might be the best solution. Pnot 03:03, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
delete As an aside, there are dozens of species of swallow in Africa, and some of them are migratory. Sabine 05:03, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
