I'd say redirect to Roach motel if we had such an article. ~~Since we don't, I guess we should delete it as a neologism.~~ Dave the Red 07:28, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Since [[User:BD2412] was nice enough to create a Roach motel article, redirect there. Dave the Red 20:05, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

Guys, are you serious with redirect? Are you sure that "roach hotel" is used in the same sense as "roach motel"? And by the way, there is a direct, original meaning of the term "roach hotel". And what about a (lousy) computer game "Roach Hotel" by Micro-Lab? What about doing some research before voting? Mikkalai 18:15, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I say redirect to roach motel because I believe that the term "roach hotel" is itself a neologism. Since it bears a close resemblance to the term Roach motel, it should be redirected there. If you know of a real use of the term "Roach hotel", independant of "roach motel", please inform us of what it is. If you believe that the computer game deserves an entry, you are entitled to write one. However, a google search for "Roach hotel" + micro gets 84 hits, so I'm inclined to think the game is not notable. Dave the Red (talk) 22:20, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
- I second... er fifth the redirect - if there's anything to be said about the term "roach hotel", it can be said on the roach motel page anyway - no one would bother calling something a roach hotel unless they were trying to sound like roach motel. -- 8^D ^gab 07:53, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
