(The first of these was created as an article, which I redirected; the second was created as a redirect to the first by the article's author.) These are highly implausible search terms. As
Pontifex Maximus explains, one theory of the etymology of the term pontifex is that it is based on the roots of the words pons and facere; but as an expression, pons facere is meaningless in Latin.

- Weak keep. While the reasoning for the deletion seems valid, the phrase does appear in the article (with a "+" in between). While it is an unlikely search term, it is not an unreasonable possibility for someone to remember the phrase out of context, and, thus, should be kept as a redirect.

- Delete I'm looking at this phrase: "...the term pontifex literally means "bridge-builder" (pons + facere)" This appears to be the origin of the word; it doesn't seem like a useful redirect.

The result of the debate was
Kept. We give a lot of latitude of what users can have in userspace. This doesn't violate any of our policies ot guidelines. If the user wants to delete it, they can request deletion. Double redirect fixed. --

Reason for deletion: Cross namespace double(!) redirect (caused by moving a userfied page into mainspace following a
deletion review) - page now serves no purpose.

- Delete per nom. In addition,
The Game (game), the redirect's target article, is not only a redirect: it's a redundant redirect that should be deleted as well.

- Delete, but disagree with the cross-namespace reasoning. IIRC, the only cross-namespace no-nos are ones out of article space, is that right?

- Keep per Danisman (sort of). I don't think cross-namespace redirects are a problem from User to Article either. I can picture a user making redirects like this to keep track of things; I don't see the problem with letting the user have a redirect in their userspace.

The result of the debate was
change target. With all due respect to
B.Wind, I see no reason to hesitate to
be bold here. This was never a deletion request, and the resulting discussion was unanimous. --

I think this would be better redirected to
Pornography#Legal status as I have just done with
pornography law. The current target does not cover all porn law, and is thus an invalid redirect, and is US-centric.

- Redirect as suggested by nominator - I can't argue with the logic presented above. Of course, it could have been
boldly redirected, but I hesitate to do so while it is under RfD.

- Redirect, per rationale already stated above.

- Fix redirect per nom. I don't think the existing one is necessarily invalid, but the new target is much broader.
