August 12[edit]

Eötvös Loránd TudományegyedemUniversity of Budapest[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. — Black Falcon (Talk) 21:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

this redirect page's title includes a typo ("egyedem" instead of "egyetem"), which is not a common typematic error; there are no links pointing to this page Kuteni 14:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete, though I fixed the double redirect and added some appropriate tags. Misspellings are definitely ok, and foreign language redirects are ok, both together is borderline, and both tegether when it's not a very plausible typo is just beyond the borders of what we want to keep, IMO. Even though redirects are cheap. (BTW, if "Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem" or "Tudomány Egyetem" is correct, perhaps the article should say that, at least in passing. It currently only mentions the initials, ELTE.) Xtifr tälk 12:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea who came up with this name but it's just plain wrong. Hot Country Songs did used to be called Hot Country Singles & Tracks, but calling it "Country Tracks chart" is about as accurate as referring to the Department of Motor Vehicles as the "Vehicles Department". And yes, I realize there're many pages that link here, but that can be fixed. Ten Pound Hammer(Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsReview?) 20:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. --Caldorwards4 02:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: we don't generally delete redirects merely because they're wrong or inaccurate. We delete them because they're harmful or offensive or too implausible to bother with. Although number of incoming links is not itself a reason to keep, I think that in this case, it suggests that the term, however incorrect, is commonly used, and so a redirect here is helpful. Redirects are cheap. Xtifr tälk 03:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Looks like this redirect helps navigation - the fact that it is incorrect isn't that significant. Is the target the only thing that might be being searched for? WjBscribe 01:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information and redirect no longer relevant. The 912 Registry data was removed from Porsche 912 article. Thebisch 21:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This redirect results from content being merged to the target article. Revisions containing the merged content must be kept for GFDL copyright reasons. Unless the redirect is harmful, it should definitely be kept. WjBscribe 01:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
