Long Neck Karen → Kayan (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

This is an implausible redirect created in 2008 by a unilateral page move from a now-indefinitely blocked user, Haabet (who is also banned on da.wiki for the same problems). It should have been deleted under R3 at the time it was moved back, but has now been around for three years, so I'm taking it here.

Weak keep. I'm not sure this redirect is really implausible: the search reveals pretty high number of hits. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:40, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Kayan (Burma), a subgroup of the Karen people known for their long necks.--Lenticel ^(talk) 01:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Brian Devine. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:33, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Brian Devine. per Dmitrij D. Czarkoff. Good catch.--Lenticel ^(talk) 01:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
