Vorticia was created as a redirect, then it was replaced by an article about a character with the alter ego "Mrs Spirella". The article was almost certainly a hoax, as the character is not mentioned in the books cited as sources, so I've changed it back to a redirect; there is now no content related to this name.

The result of the discussion was Keep. Ruslik_Zero 19:25, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Links to historical page and easily confused with RFC/U set of pages when scrolling through options in search box of Wikipedia interface Nobody Ent 10:43, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the whole WP:RFCU series of redirects have probably outlined their usefulness. Nobody Ent 10:45, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some of these redirects (and the WP:RFCU/C, which was deleted apparently without discussion) appear frequently in archived discussions and on user talk pages. As redirects to a page don't appear in the search box, maybe a page (similar to the shortcut disambiguation pages) could be created at WP:RFCU, which can mention the old redirects and the new process, and link to other pages users may be looking for, then the other RFCU redirects could be redirected to it.

  • Suggestion Perhaps we could create a template/category for deprecated/historical shortcuts that removed them from the search suggestions in the same way that {{unprintworthy}} does? Thryduulf (talk) 17:10, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 15:53, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as misleading. It implies that it should be used when only the year is known, but it produces an error unless the full date is added. I've changed the redirect to a transclusion for the duration of this discussion, so that the articles currently using it don't show the #REDIRECT code in the infobox when the RFD template is added Peter E. James (talk) 10:40, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This redir is totally nutso, with spittle running down the chin. A routine that takes 1 parm is redirected to one requiring 3. Why?
