Removed per MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created:

The Human Fly (comics), a fictional supervillain appearing in the Marvel Comics

Moved to wikt:flies:

The flies of a theater (the plural is always used) refers to the open area above a stage where scenery and equipment may be hung. A theater employee in charge of manipulating items hung here is known as a flyman.

Not a dictionary[edit]

I removed the slang term, there's no wikilink, so we can't disambiguate to a specific page, and wikipedia is not a dictionary. WLU (talk) 21:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
