Implausible redirect Flow 234 (Nina) talk 23:59, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete not used in news articles or books, even as a nickname for YouTube. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:35, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as does not correspond to Youtube. It can be restored later as an article for the subject (Google Tube) if that ever becomes notable enough for its own page. Loopy30 (talk) 16:55, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this page to free it for real opal card image. Coekon (talk) 22:23, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Discussion[edit]

Here's the next batch of problematic film redirects (with a bonus TV series!). All of these target a director, actor, etc. that was rumored to be a part of a potential film. The problem, however, is that there is zero mention of such at the target, so anybody who wants to know more about these potential films will end up confused or disappointed. Most of these films are in development hell. They may or may not progress to production, and the director, actors, production studio, etc. could all change before then. Therefore, these redirects should be red, and if any of these enter production, then an article on the film should be created. Until then, these redirects aren't helpful. (Raw list available on talk page.) -- Tavix (talk) 04:01, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The exception for this would be Pompeii (TV series) which should retarget to Pompeii_in_popular_culture#TV. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as implausible typo in title (double 'in'). Loopy30 (talk) 01:42, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It was at this title for just under the first two days of its existence in 2014. Incoming links are very unlikely. Thryduulf (talk) 07:26, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. --XXN, 14:48, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I agree. This seems useless. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 02:33, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete implausible typo of double in. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 08:39, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Madeline Mcan[edit]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) feminist 04:28, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem like a plausible search term since the redirect has three missing letters from the girls' actual name and is not a common misspelling. 173.2.254.249 (talk) 00:10, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. With over 400 hits last month its clear that this is a very plausible search term. Thryduulf (talk) 07:29, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Seems like a plausible R from misspelling to me; the fact that it has 400+ hits in the last month suggests that it is used. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 09:12, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and tag for spelling. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 08:40, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As stated above, this looks like a straight-forward case of 'R from Misspelling'. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 21:28, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kidnapping of Lisa Irwin[edit]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) feminist 04:29, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be jumping the gun at the moment because there is no proof Irwin was kidnapped, even if that is most likely the case. We do not have redirects starting with "Kidnapping of..." for other unsolved missing children cases like Madeleine McCann or William Tyrrell. It won't hurt to wait until something concrete proving a child abduction to restore this redirect. 173.2.254.249 (talk) 00:10, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per {{R from move}} and the large number of hits (132 last month, 383 last year). Per WP:RNEUTRAL, non-neutral redirects to neutrally titled articles are allowed. Thryduulf (talk) 07:33, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Redirects don't have to be strictly neutral or even exactly accurate, after all, and this appears to be helpful enough. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 02:39, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
