Contested WP:PROD. Rationale still remains: "Neither entry is known as "Man 2". As "Man 2" isn't mentioned at either article, it fails WP:DABMENTION." -- Tavix ^(talk) 13:43, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "Man 2" is "manslaughter in the second degree", which is mentioned in Manslaughter (United States law), so it should be common enough to be a redirect. "Man 2" is also apparently a homophone for Mantoux, although that might not suitable for inclusion.--Prisencolin (talk) 18:58, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Man 2" is not mentioned in Manslaughter (United States law). -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:13, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Were "Man 2" added to Manslaughter (United States law), I want a citation, or I'm calling it a made-up name. Narky Blert (talk) 23:43, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. I can see the argument for Man 2 as a redirect - but only if we had an article specifically on Manslaughter in the 2nd Degree, which we don't. UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 20:59, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Manslaughter in the 2nd Degree was a redlink when User:Ultraexactzz wrote that, but I am creating a redirect now for it to Manslaughter (United States law)#Manslaughter in the second degree (see my vote "Redirect" below). --doncram 04:37, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete 10 Man 2. No real dab entries. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:50, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: There is an inquiry about sourcing (not by me) at Talk:Manslaughter#Man 2. I am neutral. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:44, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect. The term "man 2" is included in American TV shows of the police drama kind, perhaps especially or only ones set in New York City or New York State, and with export of the TV shows the term is exposed world-wide. I just edited at Manslaughter (United States law) article to cover the first degree vs. second degree distinction, which was not otherwise addressed in the article, and I inserted a wp:anchor suitable for a redirect target. "Man 2" can be redirected to Manslaughter (United States law)#Manslaughter in the second degree. --doncram 04:34, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
