Phocomelic characters in the work of Philip K. Dick → Phocomelia#Phocomelic_characters_in_the_work_of_Philip_K._Dick[edit]
The result of the debate was Delete. Lenticel (talk) 00:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Delete - the redirect was discussed once previously and closed pending the resolution of whether to keep the information on the Dick characters in the medical article. The information has been uncontroversially removed so the redirect now serves no purpose. Otto4711 (talk) 14:04, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - removal of a section that should not have been there in the first place clarifies an issue that was quite muddy in the prior discussion. Phillip K. Dick fans will have to start with the article on the author (the logical starting point), rather than the one on the malady. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 17:54, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- Comment...I don't really have an opinion here. But I'm not sure that the content, which was removed just yesterday by an anon with no summary [1], after no talk page discussion whatsoever, was "uncontroversially removed". --UsaSatsui (talk) 18:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- The talk page seems to indicate that a "discussion" has been going on since the closing of the previous RfD (on 1 September), but with no followup and no participation after a post by Lenticel stating Hi, I closed the rfd for now. I think you should get a consensus on whether to remove the paragraph or improve it to house characters of other literature. You could then re-nominate the RfD. In this case, there seems to be a lack of controversy in (and after) a bold removal at this point as there has been (as of this entry) no subsequent revision of the article itself. (NOTE: aside from my comments above and in the previous RfD, I have no connection with the article whatsoever). 147.70.242.40 (talk) 19:54, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - The redirect was created to populate the Category:Fictional phocomelic characters, an improper purpose for a redirect. As an alternative, a WikiProject could tag the redirect talk page with their banner to categorize the redirect pages in their project sub categories. It is very unlikely that anyone will type in "Phocomelic characters in the work of Philip K. Dick" in the search box. -- Suntag (talk) 16:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - unhelpful redirect. I have no opinion on whether or not a good article by this name could exist, but it's definitely a bad idea for a redirect (and without the information, a useless one). Terraxos (talk) 20:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
