The result was redirect to Nike_timeline#The 2000s. Seems to be an unlikely search result for LeBron. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:11, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is effectively no content. The one entry on this DAB page for LeBron James should be deleted because there is no mention of "dunkman" in the target article. "Dunkman" is also not mentioned at the See also Slam Dunk Contest. This page was created as a result of an RFD discussion Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:05, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy redirect. Shouldn't this be handled by some technical WP:SPEEDY? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:10, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Piotrus, Shhhnotsoloud: There is a brand owned by Nike which is called 'Dunkman' (see Dunkman (brand), 2004.) I think redirect to that is the best option, although the brand seems to be named after LeBron James. Certainly the see also is invalid. Boleyn (talk) 10:11, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I ran google and gNews searches on dunkman and "dunk man" references to this specific sneaker are minimal, and largely confined to sources like Sneaker News, or promotional - nothing to justify a bluelink, redirect or disambig page. There are references to LeBron James as "dunkman," but both my searches and the RfC linked above persuade me that the term is also used for other players. It appears to be comparable to "slugger" used to describe a baseball player. Note, however, that Slugger links to actual sluggers. This discussion leads no no significant uses of "dunkman." He's not commonly called "Dunkman James." Let's deep-six this one. E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:19, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
