NGC 1531 and NGC 1532 → NGC 1532

The result of the debate was Converted to a disambig. Article contains edit history prior to split that must be maintained for GFDL compliance. -- JLaTondre 00:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

This was once an article for two galaxies (NGC 1531 and NGC 1532). I have since split the article into two separate articles, and I turned the NGC 1531 and NGC 1532 link into a redirect for the larger of the two galaxies (NGC 1532). I do not think that anyone is going to search on both names simultaneously, and nothing in Wikipedia links to "NGC 1531 and NGC 1532" except a discussion in the Astronomical objects WikiProject where we were discussing splitting pages like this one. The link is no longer needed and can be deleted. GeorgeJBendo 22:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep An article occupied the page for over six months, so deletion could break external incoming links (from other websites). Khatru2 01:22, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

For future reference, how long should such redirects be kept? When, if ever, would it be appropriate to nominate such redirects for deletion? Dr. Submillimeter 20:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there is a set time frame for how long redirects should be kept. There is nothing harmful about having redirects like this. Deleting it, on the other hand, would remove its potentially useful history [1]. Khatru2 20:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Simmons Hall → Pennsylvania State University

The result of the debate was Converted to disambig. -- JLaTondre 00:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Simmons Hall may refer to a variety of Simmons Halls, the most popular and widely-known being residence hall at MIT designed by Steven Holl. See List of MIT undergraduate dormitories. I would like to eventually write an article about the MIT Simmons Hall since it is famous and deserving of its own article, but in the mean time, this redirect is a bit too centered on P.S.U. and does not reflect the most popular intention for searching for Simmons Hall today.

weak theology → deconstruction-and-religion

The nominated redirect was Page moves belong at WP:RM. -- JLaTondre 03:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Currently, "deconstruction-and-religion" redirects to "weak theology". It should be the other way around. Weak theology is better thought of as a school of thought within deconstruction-and-religion. Hay4 16:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

NPOV and Npov

I am not nominating these redirects for deletion (after all, this is Redirects for discussion), but currently they are pointing to two different targets which seems inappropriate. They should either both point to Neutral point of view or Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. As a side note, I actually think Neutral point of view should redirect to Objectivity (disambiguation) with a top link to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I am in favor of redirecting them both to Neutral point of view (or Objectivity (disambiguation)). Khatru2 05:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Withdrawing; please see Talk:NPOV for discussion. Khatru2 07:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy-close this nomination. The proper place to discuss the right destination of a redirect is on the respective Talk pages. If you think one of them was wrong, fix it. Rossami (talk) 05:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Stub categories → Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 00:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

This used to be a disambiguation page which only linked to two articles in the Wikipedia namespace. I nominated it for deletion here where there was a strong consensus to delete. The page has now been recreated as a redirect to one of the articles that was on the original disambiguation page. I don't think this qualifies for CSD G4 since it is not a repost of identical content, but the consensus was to delete rather than redirect. In any case, it is still a cross-namespace redirect with only a few incoming links. Khatru2 04:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Anyone who is interested in the low-level details of our stub system is knowledgeable enough not to need this. Gavia immer (u|t|c) 15:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
