Facepalm
The result of the discussion was moot - an article has been created in place of the redirect. While this should not prejudge any AFD, I do note that it is not a G4 candidate, because the previous AFD was deleted for lack of sourcing - this is not an issue in the article as presented. –

The page
Facepalm was created as a redirect to
Types of gestures. It doesn't appear to have contained other content during its history. There was, at the time the page was created, a single sentence on Types of gestures suggesting that 'Facepalm' is an indication of stupidity, but the page cited no sources to that effect. The sentence has since been removed from the page.
Note that Annoyances is published by Icon Group, which republishes information from various Wikis (though I don't know the provenance of this particular book). Mo' Urban Dictionary is similarly described as "From the wildly popular Web site urbandictionary.com". Neither strikes me as reliable. YMMV.

Comment: I see no reason for deletion if facepalm is added to the target article using reliable, third-party sources. In lieu of that, it should be deleted as it makes no sense to point to an article that does not contain information related to the title of the redirect.

Many thanks to Phantomsteve for his bold efforts. Unfortunately, he
citessources that discuss *facepalm* as a written internet meme and not a gesture. I think it would be most appropriate to move that information to
Facepalm, to preserve the useful information.

Comment I have removed the information from the other article, and placed a version on the
Talk:Facepalm page. I have family commitments to attend to, so if it's acceptable, could someone else move the content (edited as you desire) onto
Facepalm and add a stub tag? I might get on Wikipedia later, but I'm not sure. Thanks -- PhantomSteve/

The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.
Keep original language redirect, topic is Greek, the name of the topic is in Greek, the topic is a Greek language program. The current title is a translation and not a romanization of the original Greek title, so it is uncertain whether people will find the article without the original title as a redirect.

Comment: Ελλάδα, Έχεις Ταλέντο was apparently viewed 59 times in November, and 25 of those views came on the day the page was created. In comparison,
Greece Got Talent was viewed 162 times during the same period.

But is it the only way to translate this into English? And what about straight anglicization phonetically representing the sounds of the Greek words?

Keep - the key is that this is an original-language redirect. If it was a French-language redirect to
Greece Got Talent, deletion would be the correct course of action; as it stands, however, we have a Greek-language redirect to an article about a Greece-related topic. –BLACK FALCON(
