May 19[edit]

Troilius → Troilus[edit]

The result of the debate was disambiguate. WjBscribe 23:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This spelling is an error for the name of the legendary character Troilus and not a legitimate alternative spelling, (as Troilos is,) or historical alternative spelling (as Troylus is). Redirect exists because the misspelling was used for the original article. Redirects from articles have now been corrected. There is an article on someone with this spelling as a surname Samuel Troilius who might be a more legitimate target. Peter cohen 23:01, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uw-deleting2 → Template:uw-delete2[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. WjBscribe 22:52, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another unused cross-namespace redirect. Pretty sure there's no reason for this to exist; creator probably intended to create Template:Uw-deleting2 – Gurch 20:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Foo → Wikipedia:WikiProject Foo[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete all. After Midnight 0001 03:02, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating the above cross namespace redirects, which aren't especially useful or helpful, for deletion. They are not the most harmful of XNRs but do have some adverse consequences. They may lead a casual user to think we wrtie articles about our own projects and show up if the search function is used even though the default is to search the mainspace only, adding to the potential for confusion. See Wikiproject Foo → Wikipedia:WikiProject Foo (March 13) for the last batch of these that were deleted. WjBscribe 15:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amy lynn lee-hartzler, Amy lynn lee hartzler, Amy Lee-Hartzler → Amy Lee[edit]

The result of the debate was no consensus. WjBscribe 22:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Mass-created set of possible redirects based on theory of what Lee may be called since becoming married. At this point, these are assumptions, and the vast majority of users would not know Lee by these names to begin with (and would likely try Amy Hartzler if anything, as this is the only alternate spelling she has used for herself thus far). Redirects also showcase improper capitalization. -- Huntster T • @ • C 08:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. -AMK152(Talk • Contributions • Send message) 17:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete on grounds of WP:CRYSTAL. --Aarktica 18:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Person was recently married and article was updated with a good external source (Crystalball no longer applies.) The article states that the person is best known as "Amy Lee" and "Amy Lynn Lee" and, with the recent marriage, these might be plausible search terms. As for the capitalization argument, precedent has been set that these types of redirects actually help in searches, not to mention they're cheap. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 22:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Out of curiosity, how can it not be Crystalballing if the person has never been known by such a name and has not given any indicatino that she will be known by such a name? The only name she's ever put into the public is "Amy Hartzler", for which a redirect was created after her statement using that term. -- Huntster T • @ • C 22:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • First of all, the marriage is confirmed, and many people either change their name to incorporate their spouse's surname or are known by the public by that name, and some users might search for her new name or combination of names. Second, the article already identifies the person by her marriage name. We can reasonably assume that such names are plausible search terms, which makes them useful. I think Crystalballism would apply if she were only engaged, or if she was rumored to be married. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 01:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per above statement by Mtmelendez. Well done! *Cremepuff222* 23:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
