The lead of the target article claims that this term has just been made up by the article author, and a google search seems to confirm this. Ibidto (talk) 20:12, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the lead says it's used in the same book that the "matriname" initial reference is. Further bgc [1] shows some books that use it. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 00:54, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I'm the article author, to some extent. And I suppose I created the redirect (I don't recall). I think the redirect can help our WP readers. {I'd prefer to redirect to Family name, which really means Patrilineal family name (or Patrilineal surname, or Patriname), but the Family name article as it stands would not help the reader to understand anything about the word Patriname. The same for redirecting to Patrilineality as that article stands now. So unfortunately the redirect has to be to the article Matriname, which does first introduce the word and then uses it about 32 times.} I should add that I fixed the lead in this latter target article to hopefully no longer give a casual reader who does not look at endnotes or footnotes the false impression that matriname and patriname were invented within the article. Thus, thanks to you, Ibidto, for helping our readers..... For7thGen (talk) 08:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect no longer deployed in a useful fashion.. Would have used a CSD but no criteria currently exists. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:03, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep No CSD criterion exists simply because there is no need to delete redirects which make no harm. Besides, it's better to keep redirects instead of getting lots of red links from people who don't know the name of the target. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:48, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. In addition to Stefan2's points, this is a more logical name than the very opaquely titled target template (what does "mfm" stand for? "maybe free media"?), so this is going to be easier to remember for many people. Thryduulf (talk) 01:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Morris (criminal)[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was speedily deleted by Toddst1 (talk · contribs) per G7. (non-admin closure) Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:44, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This should probably be deleted outright (in fact, I was tempted to speedy it, but I'm not familiar with speedy criteria for redirects). Robert Tappan Morris is a computer scientist who created the late-eighties "Internet Worm", accidentally shutting down the network, and was convicted of computer misuse as a result. However, there's no indication that he is widely referred to or thought of primarily as "a criminal"; as such, a redirect like this seems wildly disproportionate and inappropriate.

The redirect was created today, and there doesn't seem to be anything linking to it. Andrew Gray (talk) 09:59, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
