December 13[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 13, 2008


Pubic goods → Public good[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. mattbr 17:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While possibly counting as misspelling, it doesn't really help those interested in public good and is rather misleading for who types 'pubic' to find related subjects. Tikiwont (talk) 19:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I was just trying to be helpful. but i frequently have mispeled public as pubic, so I figured I could help ppl out by changin it. But since u have to be a WB about it (since you are one, maybe you can help delete it), do what you will with it. Wilkos (talk) 04:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't see why I should shut up or where i am the one whining here or what else you're trying to tell me. I agree that it can be misspelled, just not that it helps to have a hard-coded redirect. --Tikiwont (talk) 10:37, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a very common typo, but it should be deleted as a potentially confusing redirect (before someone gets the bright idea to retarget it to prostitution or something similar). B.Wind (talk) 06:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Public goods would be fine, but pubic goods? Nuh-uh. --Dylan620 Contribs Sign! 19:42, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While the redirect was clearly created to address a common misspelling, the fact that it is also a valid English expression with multiple potential meanings makes this redirect a point of confusion. --Allen3 talk 04:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Penghus → Pescadores[edit]

The result of the discussion was keep. mattbr 17:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Id like to add this page for deletion... Penghus is a bastardized for of the correct Pinyin form (Penghu). Hanyu Pinyin has its own rules.. I just think we should respect that, considering that this is an encyclopedic site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.43.124.203 (talk)

  • Keep. "Pescadores" seems to be the most common form in English, but "Penguhus" doesn't seem implausible as a search. In particular, English pluralization of a group noun doesn't seem at all implausible. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:54, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Gavia immer. Seems like a possible search term.--Ashbey ₮ 16:04, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- REdirects are harmless. As a group of islands, applying a plural form (even if incorrect) is not an improbable mistake. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:05, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff D'Amico (left-handed pitcher) → Jeff D'Amico (Royals)[edit]

The result of the discussion was speedy deleted by Jerry per criterion R3 (implausible typo) (log). — Gavia immer (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page was improperly moved. D'Amico is not left-handed. -Dewelar (talk) 11:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edward D. Murphy → Eddie Murphy[edit]

The result of the discussion was speedy deleted by Jerry per criterion R3 (implausible typo) (log). — Gavia immer (talk) 18:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy's name is Edward Regan Murphy, so the intitial "D" is inappropriate. According to IMDB, Edward D. Murphy is a completely different actor, who doesn't appear to have a WP article at the moment, but whose name should be reserved for an article if anyone wants to create one.

TF:ROCKO → Wikipedia:WikiProject Nickelodeon/Rocko's Modern Life task force[edit]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. WP:NICK/RML already exists. If someone wants to add WP:ROCKO, they are welcome to. -- JLaTondre (talk) 16:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No TF: pseudospace exists. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Actually, yes it does. --Dylan620 Contribs Sign! 03:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there's at least one more TF space that exists. Does that mean they should? Judging from precedent, it seems not. (And wow, even Zim has a task force now? Maybe I should help with that one just for Treelo. But after I've watched an episode or six to satisfy her and Yngvarr.) Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:36, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck with anything besides Turbo Nick; at this point in time, that's the only way I can see watching it. (OK, let's end the Zim conversation before it gets out of hand. --Dylan620 Contribs Sign! 12:10, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, and find an alternative shortcut in keeping with namespace guidelines. Terraxos (talk) 16:47, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:CHERRY → Cherry picking[edit]

The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to WP:Coatrack#Fact picking which is a Wikipedia: namespace version of the same thing.

Redirect from wikipedia space to article space. Is this needed? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect was created to generate a WP shortcut to the definition of the issue and include it in the issue-tag {{Cherry-picking}}. In case this is not the right way to go about it, kindly fix the issue or guide me. Deletion will mess up the tag. Thanks, --RoadAhead =Discuss= 07:49, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Ass Burger Syndrome" redirects → Asperger syndrome[edit]

The result of the discussion was G10 as attack-y redirects, NAC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Completing incomplete nomination for this disparaging term. --Allen3 talk 01:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
