(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. JeremyMcCracken ( talk) 17:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, unuseful redirect. Stifle ( talk) 10:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC) reply

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. -- JLaTondre ( talk) 23:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Reason for deletion: Cross namespace double(!) redirect (caused by moving a userfied page into mainspace following a deletion review) - page now serves no purpose. Guest9999 ( talk) 17:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC) reply

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. -- Kéiryn talk 00:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC) reply

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. h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC) reply
