Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 October 18

New user has been creating dozens of stub articles about non-notable people. Many of them are competitors in a TV contest, others are minor cast members in TV shows. In each case the article tells us nothing or virtually nothing beyond the person's name and the TV show in question. Some of these have been speedy deleted, others are tagged for speedy delete and waiting, while others have been converted to redirects. User has now been blocked. There does not seem to be any good reason for the redirects to continue to exist: the people are so un-notable that they are not likely to be searched for. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all The only one which is questionable is Daniel, who appeared on two seasons. Even so, delete. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:24, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

False. This new user created ONE stub article, on the premise of expansion (Jake Pavelka). Any other users who have interfered are obviously not myself, as I have (by evidence of this comment) not been banned. Humorously, the fact that JamesBWatson has indicated that multiple people (myself, the banned user and possibly others) are searching for Jake Pavelka inherently contradicts his claim that "they are not likely to be searched for." --Bachelor14news (talk) 18:48, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It appears to be the convention to redirect Real World contestants to the respective season pages. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:27, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block

The result of the discussion was that removal isn't needed and that the requester (myself) has withdrawn the request. Captain n00dle ^T/_C 22:57, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block → Inferior alveolar nerve block (links to redirect) (stats)

This redirect from capitalisation doesn't need to exist because of the way wiki now handles capitalised searches... Captain n00dle ^T/_C 17:19, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not every attempt to access the target is made via Wikipedia's internal search; in any case, this does no particular harm by existing. — Gavia immer (talk) 01:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the double redirect needs to be removed anyway: [1]

Keep as alternative capitalization and retarget to Inferior alveolar nerve anaesthesia to fix a double redirect. B.Wind (talk) 03:09, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and retarget to fix problems. We shouldn't delete redirects from capitalisations, as the search box is not the only method to get to pages. --Taelus (talk) 10:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator, Captain-n00dle, created this redirect, then realizing the capitalization error, moved it to the properly capitalized name the same minute. Assuming deletion is still desired, nom. should withdraw RfD and request a WP:CSD#G7 (author requests deletion). The "keep"s above are proper for RfD, but should not prejudice a G7 request. -- ToE^T 14:43, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for the replies, as ToE correctly guessed I did create it and realised my mistake. I shall withdraw my request per the general consensus. I shall also add {{R from other capitalisation}} and correct the double redirect, thanks! Captain n00dle ^T/_C 22:57, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Falls in Karnataka

Falls in Karnataka → Hogenakkal Falls (links to redirect) (stats)

This is a mess here .... the falls is located in Tamil nadu & this redirect shows something tht does not exist ....... Doctor muthu's muthu ^{wanna talk ?} 07:59, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This link is leftover after the cleanup of a cut&paste copy (not move) and multiple moved by Monk415 (talk · contribs) early on 18 October. Although Monk415 appears to dispute the location, a visual check of the geography places Hogenakkal Falls in Tamil Nadu, not in Karnataka, so the redirect is misleading. (The coordinates need refinement though.) -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 15:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The name of the redirect doesn't seem to be in particular use, and it doesn't seem to be a list, which would be pointless with only one entry anyway. I can't see any real useful purpose served by this redirect. John Carter (talk) 16:26, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
