Gpaint → Google Paint[edit]
Google Paint = Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Google Paint. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 18:20, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Google Paint = Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Google Paint → Gpaint = WP:CSD#R1. I've slapped {{db-r1}} on it. BigNate37(T) 19:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Rebate (retail) → Rebate (marketing)[edit]
Pages were merged. Nothing links to the retail redirect (except a move discussion) and the redirect is no longer useful. └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 17:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment If the page history is not useful, it should have been tagged with {{db-g6}} (CSD G6, housekeeping) rather than taken to RfD. If it is, it should be kept as a redirect; if you don't like the redirect maybe you can move the page to a more sensible redirect so the page history is at a useful title and delete the redirect that the move creates.

- Comment: Has substantial page history. —Centrx→talk • 04:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Various ethnic groups redirects[edit]
(Amri (ethnicity), Bari (ethnic group), Bari (of the White Nile), Hammer (tribe), Homa (ethnic group), Indri (ethnicity), Kanga (ethnicity), Kara (ethnicity), Katla (ethnic group), Kuku (ethnic group), Logo (ethnicity), Lokoja (ethnic group), Mundu (ethnicity), Narim (ethnicity), Padang (ethnicity), Selim (ethnicity), Tama (ethnicity), Tenet (people), and Tira (ethnicity)
I have moved all these pages to "(name of the ethnicity) people" to standardize them, and now there are all these useless redirects. Please delete them. Béka 09:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, I've orphaned Hammer (tribe) and Tira (ethnicity). All the others were already orphaned, I've checked out of courtesy. Béka, could you refer us to the relevant naming policy/guideline that instigated this change, if there is one? I'm hesitant to vote for deletion because I'm unfamiliar with the relevant policy. BigNate37(T) 19:57, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I have asked the users Atamari and Sven-steffen arndt in the German Wikipedia about the naming of ethnic group articles and they told me that the standard is: "(name of the ethnicity) people". It is very confusing when some articles are with "(ethnic group)", others with "(ethnicity)" or "(tribe)". These redirects are useless. Béka 23:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.Album redirects[edit]
I pre-emptively disambiguated a bunch of albums, thinking I was doing due dilligence. Figures I'd find WikiProject Albums after I'd done this... They apparently don't much like pre-emptive disambiguation if it isn't neccesary. I've moved the following, but would like to clean up the old versions. If, in future, disambiguation becomes necessary, they'd just be in the way.
- L'Échappée belle (album), now at L'Échappée belle
- L'Échappée Belle (album), the English-language-capitalization of the above
- Live at Selwyn Hall (album), now at Live at Selwyn Hall
- Radical Mestizo (album), now at Radical Mestizo
- The Arms Dealer's Daughter (album), now at The Arms Dealer's Daughter

Smarch no longer on the list as it isn't a neologism — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheHYPO (talk • contribs) 23:54, 12 August 2006
- Revert to 16:18, 8 May 2004 revision. Not being a neologism does not qualify it for deletion, rather it should not be a part of that list. Per your comment at Talk:List of neologisms on The Simpsons#Smarch, I would say that it arguably has enough notability and should be reverted even if it does not. It can be taken to AfD after reversion if it must. Since its entry is no longer on the list of neologisms, its history contains arguably useful information and RfD is not the place to decide whether the term is a valid encyclopedic entry.
