Both are unused redirects to Template:American football. --Yair rand 02:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete both, especially fb which looks like an ISO 639 code. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't see the harm in keeping. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 17:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I always think any two or three letter code in the Latin script with no capitals should be reserved for a language code. As for, I can't see why it would ever be used, why would anyone type Fb for American football? Stuff like redirecting to baseball seems ok, as people might try to capitalize the first word of the context label. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:21, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Fb was created by a user who then proceeded to use it in a good number of pages. Presumably he named it Fb because it's easier to type Fb or fb (this was before case-sensitivity) than anything longer. It still serves the same purpose. Of course, we don't have anyone adding lots of football-related pages at the moment, but we can. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 17:47, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * These would qualify for speedy deletion as unused redirects. I assume a bot when passed and orphan this - there is a bot the replaces template redirects, but I dislike the idea of keeping random redirects for the convenience of one person, especially as these contributions were in 2005.

 * I don't know of any bot that replaces most template redirects, though my own monobook.js does many of the context ones, including these two. I also didn't know we speedily delete unused redirects. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 22:40, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete both. --Vahagn Petrosyan 00:53, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
