- Computer zealotry → Fan (person) (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
Nearly orphaned. Only incoming article link is from Operating system advocacy, which is also the only target that would really fit. Don Cuan (talk) 14:28, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- keep per the top of this page "Note: Redirects should not be deleted simply because they do not have any incoming links. Please do not list this as a reason to delete a redirect. Redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted as well, so it's not a necessary condition either. See When should we delete a redirect?". And this one doesn't even have no incoming links. Tideflat (talk) 14:42, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- This is not the reason why I nominated it. That redirect pointed to Fanboy, first as a separate entry, now as a section of Fan (person). This target is completely inappropriate though. Operating system advocacy comes closest, but still doesn't cut it. And being the only article that actually uses the redirect, it would result in a circular redirect. Better to get rid of it.

- Other than resulting in a circular redirect, what's wrong with operating system advocacy as a target? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was Retarget to List of fictional toxins#Fictional poisons. Ruslik_Zero 18:51, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- APTX 4869 → Jimmy Kudo (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
There is no such section as "APTX 4869" in Jimmy Kudo. Despite I went through some articles related to Case Closed, no where explicitly deal with this subject. Quest for Truth (talk) 10:48, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- Re-anchor- Back to List of fictional toxins#Fictional poisons, which is what it is, where it's already appropriately covered, and has been before. Dru of Id (talk) 13:28, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- Comment, I've added {{anchor}} to the Fictional poisons section of the target so the existing redirect again works. Thryduulf (talk) 17:16, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
