Pizzaholic[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 Delete. Ruslik_Zero 19:42, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not mentioned in the target article, originally created (some time ago) by socks of Science3456, apparently before he was banned. Unused, probably since creation in 2006. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:31, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Name of redirect needs to be mentioned in target if otherwise readers might get confused. These names and their connection to target are self-explanatory (if not, pizzaholic, coffeeholic and sodaholic Wiktionary articles should help). — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 17:27, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • If a mention in the target page is so important, then perhaps a retarget to Holic is in order, as one of the entries does mention the suffix. --Damian Yerrick (talk) 22:40, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as unencyclopedic neologisms not discussed on Wikipedia. --BDD (talk) 13:29, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 03:10, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the only time that China was divided, China has been dividem many times in its history (i.e. the Warlord Era), thus Disambiguate TheChampionMan1234 07:45, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak disambiguate: is this a correct title for this DAB? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 17:16, 13 July 2014 (UTC).[reply]
  • Disambiguate this could also be construed as the title of an article on the subdivisions of China (ie. provinces, etc) -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 03:52, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 13:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to List of Microsoft codenames, Janus is the codename for Windows 2000 x64, and nothing to do with Win3.1. But the target says that Win3.1's codename is Janus, I will add a [citation needed] tag there because that statement in unsourced, I could not find any reliable sources proving that it is also a code name for Windows 3.1 TheChampionMan1234 06:48, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target article. Launchballer 18:23, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete it describes his painting Le Printemps which has, well, lovers on a swing. However, I don't think this is not a valid redirect since it's too vague. --Lenticel (talk) 04:22, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. There is no policy ground to delete this redirect that targets relevant material. The existence of a redirect does not imply community consensus; redirects are purely search and navigation aids. The fundamental concern is with the target section. The way forward is to discuss the section on the talk page and, if it is removed, then this redirect would then follow. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 16:50, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

misleading, delete, user 14 July creating links to an essay reflecting user's own views and creating links which appear as established guidelines or essays with consensus support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by In ictu oculi (talk • contribs) 11:09, 23 July 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The person who created this redirect added the section to WP:UNDAB per [1] which was not discussed, so should be removed, as it wasn't discussed, the added section can be userfied. This essay stood relatively unchanged for 8 years, before undiscussed changes appeared, so will greatly mislead editors who quote this essay expecting the longstanding text. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:23, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: everything is OK with this redirect and with editing of essay. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 17:45, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per czarkoff. --BDD (talk) 20:31, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 20:02, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion - This is a cross namespace redirect. I have narrowed such redirects to only 12 redirects that have ":" in their title compared to previous discussion which had listed more than 50 pages, in line with categorization given by user: Black Falcon in that discussion as pseudo-namespace. This ":" character leads to confusion that it is a new namespace in wikipedia. Instead it is main namespace but redirect to wikipedia: namespace. Along with this WikiProject:Architecture redirect, I am nominating following 11 pages (Special:PrefixIndex/WikiProject: and capitalization Special:PrefixIndex/Wikiproject: lists) - WikiProject:Bulgaria, WikiProject:East Anglia, WikiProject:Guild of Copyeditors, WikiProject:Medicine, WikiProject:Pollution, Wikiproject:BLP categorization, Wikiproject:Essex, Wikiproject:Photography, Wikiproject:San Francisco 49ers, Wikiproject: Eurovision, Wikiproject:film. These are confusing especially to new users when they type wikiproject: in search suggestions, as I was once confused. Cited third page (talk) 10:28, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was procedural close. This page doesn't exist, nor does WikiProject Islam. Factchecker_atyourservice, please let me know if you need help listing a page here. --BDD (talk) 21:19, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
