This is an invalid redirect, there are no reputable sources that utilize the term "america" or "american flu" nor does the target mention it. Praxidicae (talk) 20:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - not a term used in any reliable source known to me (except in the context of saying that the 2009 pandemic is not known as the North American flu, or similar terms). --R'n'B (call me Russ) 20:28, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. First off, it is American, not America, and second, the redirect is ambiguous. OcelotCreeper (talk) 23:37, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete both. "American flu" has no particular affinity to this specific pandemic. Regards, SONIC678 23:51, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete both I suspect the original article was created in reaction to Trump's insistence of calling the virus 'Chinese virus' more than anything else. robertsky (talk) 15:21, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete These are not plausible search terms. If I had to guess what someone might be searching for with these terms, it would be annual flu statistics in the US. Natureium (talk) 22:51, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - The only thing this would make sense to redirect to would be Flu in the United States, which doesn't exist. Hog Farm (talk) 23:07, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete both If someone wants to follow the convention of naming viruses after their location of origin, then 2009 H1N1 would be named “Mexican Flu”. But I think we all know why the editor(s) who proposed this silly redirect would have no interest in that degree of accuracy. GarnetAndBlack (talk) 05:27, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete both - I'm not aware of any reliable sources labeling things this way. The contrast is notable when one looks at commentary about the so-called 'Spanish flu'. That's a label arising due to historical lack of media censorship on that country's troubles coupled with the illness affecting the Spanish royal family (not that the whole nation was especially hardly hit in that pandemic). I'd change my mind if I saw news coverage to the contrary, but, until then, I'm positive that deletion is the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 09:53, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete both and sanction the creator - for malignant disruption of the Wikipedia project and for not using WP:RS to justify his creation. XavierItzm (talk) 11:15, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
