April 7[edit]
SID Metal → MOS Technology SID[edit]
Retarget to Machinae Supremacy or Chiptune. The current target article gives no idea what SID Metal is, but Machinae Supremacy is the article that defines it, and Chiptune is the parent genre. Alternatively, if SID Metal bands other than MS with articles can be found, create a "SID Metal" section under either Chiptune or MOS Technology SID and redirect to this section.

The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.Pediophilia → Pedophilia[edit]
I came across this while editing the Paraphilia entry. Someone thought this was a misspelling of pedophilia, but it is not. Pediophilia (for which there is no article) is a sexual attraction to dolls, not children. This redirect probably made a few Barbie fetishists feel really bad. Timocrates 15:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Why not replace the redirect with a page for Pediophilia? Suncloud 17:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Agree with above — a simple stub should be enough for now. BTW, might the term also be used for a "leg fetish", or am I thinking of something else? 66.195.211.27 02:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Agree redirect is improper, without prejudice to creating an article on the subject. --Shirahadasha 07:59, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete for now until someone steps up to create the article. There is debate over the amount and triviality of articles in {{Paraphilia}}. –Pomte 11:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Non-notable. The definition of the term in Paraphilia is enough. No need for a stub. -Etafly 05:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - misleading redirect. (Unless the redirect is replaced with an article by the end of this RfD.) Walton Vivat Regina! 16:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Alvin B. Kernan → Pale Fire[edit]
Redirect makes no sense. darkskyz 15:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It doesn't make a lot of sense, but there one of the references in Pale Fire is attributed to Alvin B. Kernan. Perhaps the best action long term is to create content for the Alvin B. Kernan page. Suncloud 17:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete without prejudice to creating an article on Alvin B. Kernan. An individual who wrote an article on a novel should not be redirected to the article on the novel. --Shirahadasha 08:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The three pages above are cross-namespace redirects to Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups that lack useful edit histories and have no incoming links. I should note that there are 19 other redirects to Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups that are in the [[WP:]] or [[Wikipedia:]] namespaces. The lack of use of these redirects suggests that they are unnecessary, so I propose that they be deleted. -- Black Falcon 05:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I moved original article to Henry Hewes. The articles original title and content I consider to be advertising. As the subject seems to be suitable for inclusion I have moved it to the more appropriate title where content can thence be edited. I don't feel it is appropriate for this page title to remain. Suncloud 16:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Speediy delete the redirect. (Henry Hewes is probably deletable too as spam. )-- RHaworth 17:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Speedily delete the redirect per {{db-spam}}. As "the act of renaming is useful page history", I will copy the history of the pagemove to the talk page of Henry Hewes. -- Black Falcon 18:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Done (see here). I've also tagged the page with {{db-spam}}. -- Black Falcon 18:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Bianca Burke → Kelly Ripa[edit]
Redirect makes no sense. "Bianca Burke" gets very limited Google hits and none when you include the word Ripa with it. I think this is subtle vandalism, see a discussion to delete this same page from yesterday. Last time it redirected to Godzilla, now, Kelly Ripa. Also, the person who created the Godzilla redirect? An indef blocked vandal account Misteroonova (talk · contribs) who just happens to be the apparent brother of Mewtwowimmer (talk · contribs) who created it today. Metros232 19:23, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete and Salt, btw when searchng for Bianca Burke on Yahoo, this RFD page is the 2nd hit. --After Midnight 0001 13:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Teh PlayStation 2 sucks! → PlayStation 2[edit]
Nonsense/prank redirect (possibly offensive even though I think that's saying a bit much). Fairly recent #R (created March 4 2007). Nothing links there, no editing history. Seed 2.0 20:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Looking at the history it was created after reverting moving the PS2 page to that name. For that reason I tagged it for Speedy Deletion as G3 (pure vandalism). --69.156.207.227 20:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. -- Seed 2.0 20:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
