Red Lipstick (album) → Lady Gaga (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

There is not reason for this redirected article to exist. There is no confirmation that her next album is called Red Lipstick and is completely fabricated. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 18:39, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Nothing to confirm that "Red Lipstick" is the title. There is a YouTube video that hints "Possible demo snippet of " Red Lipstick" Gaga's song off her upcoming fourth album", but this can't be absolutely certain. Aside from this, zero sources.

Boys' schhool of st. pauls' → St. Paul's School (Brooklandville, Maryland) (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Shouldn't this be deleted? WP:R is only really for common misspellings, not gibberish. :) OrbiterSpacethingy (talk) 16:47, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- Created (accidently, I presume) by the initial editor, no substantive editing here, routine housekeeping. Dru of Id (talk) 17:42, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's been around since 2007 without creating any confusion or controversy. The title was created as fork of an existing article - probably inadvertently. The redirect was used to point the editor to the correct title where his contributions would be more appreciated (and his spelling corrected). That is a legitimate use of a redirect so, no, redirects are not merely for "common misspellings". This particular redirect is not especially helpful but neither is it harmful. Weak keep because there's no actual reason to delete. (Tag with {{unprintworthy}}, though.) Rossami (talk) 01:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added the tag. The only reason I wanted this removed was because it appears rather prominently when searching for "boys s...", and looks very silly. OrbiterSpacethingy (talk) 07:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - {{Unprintworthy}} should remove it from the search results, though it may take a week or so for the index to refresh. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 13:45, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ah, that's handy. Thank you! OrbiterSpacethingy (talk) 08:04, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
