March 30[edit]
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 30, 2009
The Dagger → Kobe Bryant[edit]
I think this redirect is dubious. The creator claimed that this was Bryant's nickname, but there are little evidences to support that claim. A google search returned 13,000 hits, but most are blogs and appear to be about three point shots.—Chris! ct 22:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC) —Chris! ct 22:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete The Dagger is highly generic "the-dagger"+%2Bkobe+%2Bbryant&btnG=Search Kobe Bryant "the-dagger"+-kobe+-bryant&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= not Kobe Bryant It's also the title of many fictional works (like a 1999 film) 76.66.193.69 (talk) 04:47, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. "The Dagger" is an ambiguous title (in addition to the 1999 film, The Dagger is the title of a poem by Jorge Luis Borges and a novel by Anatoly Rybakov) and seems to have no reliably-sourced connection to Kobe Bryant. If/when these articles are created, The Dagger should be a disambiguation page for them. At the least, delete because this nickname is not mentioned anywhere in the article Kobe Bryant. –Black Falcon (Talk) 05:06, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- delete as too general for one usage. PaulJones (talk) 18:50, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete as a non-notable nickname even if it were Bryant's. I can't find any official NBA sources calling him "The Dagger" but I can for "Black Mamba", his more notable nickname. —LOL T/C 21:00, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Aggrotech → Electro-industrial#Aggrotech[edit]
Aggrotech is now covered substantially at Electro-industrial#Aggrotech, rather than at List_of_post-industrial_music_genres_and_related_fusion_genres#Aggrotech. The redirect should point there. Deflective (talk) 22:24, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.Afghanistan timeline July–December 2001 (disambiguation) → 2001 in Afghanistan[edit]
Apparently there was a disambiguation for the Afghanistan timeline, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. In that case, this was left over from a move and SmackBot accidentally created this page. It isn't needed anymore and is an implausible redirect. Tavix (talk) 21:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete per nom: implausible search term, no useful incoming links, no edit history worth preserving. This and two subsequent versions of Afghanistan timeline July–December 2001 were disambiguation pages; I suspect that they prompted SmackBot to create this redirect. –Black Falcon (Talk) 21:51, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Jack Frost (comics) (disambiguation) → Jack Frost (comics)[edit]
Delete - implausible, bot-created page with no useful edit history. See discussion of the similar Hangman (comics) (disambiguation) further down the page. Otto4711 (talk) 20:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete with the same rationale: "implausible bot-created redirect with no useful incoming links and no edit history worth preserving". –Black Falcon (Talk) 20:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, yeah, I kinda swiped your wording. Otto4711 (talk) 21:00, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- That didn't even register with me. I read your nomination, checked the redirect's history and whatlinkshere, agreed with deletion, and then..... forgot about the wording. I think I need more coffee... : ) –Black Falcon (Talk) 21:32, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, yeah, I kinda swiped your wording. Otto4711 (talk) 21:00, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with the others. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 02:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. These doubly-disambiguated redirects are of no use. — Gavia immer (talk) 13:31, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- delete as of no use. PaulJones (talk) 18:51, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:SOAPY → Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations[edit]
Delete. Created as a joke, but is not a particularly good shortcut per se considering the existence of others like WP:SI, WP:SPI and WP:SSP. No useful incoming links and does not seem to be used much (views: 2009-01, 2009-02, 2009-03). While it could potentially be retargeted to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#SOAPBOX, that seems unnecessary given the existence of the already-established and shorter shortcut WP:SOAP. Notified creator using {{RFDNote}}. –Black Falcon (Talk) 19:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Inappropriate redirect Little Professor (talk) 18:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Note: This former article was deleted and redirected per this AFD; however, prior to the deletion, content from the article was copied to Coming of Age (2008 TV series) in this edit (see the version of Anabel Barnston at the time). However, since the content in question was added to the article Anabel Barnston by the same user (User:CactusWriter) who later added it to Coming of Age (2008 TV series), I do not think deletion would present any problems with the GFDL, which requires that the contribution history be preserved in cases of merging (it is in this case, since CactusWriter's contribution is attributed in the page history of Coming of Age (2008 TV series)). –Black Falcon (Talk) 19:28, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete per my comment above and per this. Barnston has acted in several television series and there is no reason that her name should redirect to any one particular series. –Black Falcon (Talk) 19:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
ROFL Copter → LOL[edit]
Extremely unneeded, not currently linked from anywhere except two talk pages SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete doesn't seem to be any connection between the two terms, unlikely search term. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 16:51, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- For context, see page history and talk pages of Rofl copter and Roflcopter (AFD). For what it's worth, I have no objection to deleting. –Black Falcon (Talk) 19:07, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Retarget to ROFL, which is redirected to LOL, so keep. –xeno (talk) 20:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Keep this is a reference to a widely used forum signature, showing clips from the movie Apocalypse now, except all helicopters have been replaced with paper models with the word "ROFL" written on each of the propellors. Widely used.--Pattont/c 19:50, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
NCIS: OCP → NCIS: Legend[edit]
Delete - Implausible search term. Created as an accident by an editor who actually wanted to create NCIS: OSP. NCIS: Legend is a project name for the new spinoff from NCIS but the new series may actually be titled "NCIS: Office of Special Projects", "NCIS: OSP", "NCIS: Undercover" or something completely different. (Nobody really seems to know!) NCIS:OCP is not one of the possible names and it's an implausible typo. AussieLegend (talk) 07:03, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it.
Hangman (comics) (disambiguation) → Hangman (comics)[edit]
Implausible redirect, people looking for the article will either type in (comics) or (disambiguation) separately, but not both. Tavix (talk) 01:54, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 16:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete, as it doesn't meet MOS standards for article naming --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:54, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete as an implausible bot-created redirect with no useful incoming links and no edit history worth preserving. –Black Falcon (Talk) 19:00, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. These doubly-disambiguated links are not useful. — Gavia immer (talk) 13:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- delete as per nom. PaulJones (talk) 18:54, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Steve Smith (ice hockey defenceman b. 1963 in Ontario) → Steve Smith (ice hockey)[edit]
WAY too specific of a disambiguator, implausible search term. Tavix (talk) 01:38, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete far too specific, impossible search term. Remove it. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 16:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete, nobody's ever going to search for that title--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:54, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Delete as an implausible search term with only one potentially useful incoming link and no edit history worth preserving (the pagemove history is preserved here). The redirect is linked from Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people)#Difficult to disambiguate: some examples, but there is really no reason that the mention of Steve Smith there needs to be wikilinked. Just delete and unlink. –Black Falcon (Talk) 18:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- delete as per nom. PaulJones (talk) 18:54, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
