Delete. Unlikely misspelling of album name. UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:27, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this is vague. Could refer to hats made of rabbit fur or Hat-trick (magic trick), hats with pictures of rabbits on them. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:21, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The top suggestions on google are actually neither of AngusWOOF's suggestions but hats shaped like rabbits and hats for rabbits. "Rabbit hat" (singular) appears on en.wp three times, in the context of a magic trick (either literally or as a metaphor) or hats worn by characters in anime (I'm not sure whether they were made from, have pictures of or resemble rabbits though). Thryduulf (talk) 23:55, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, interesting, hats that are shaped with bunny ears. This is getting to be an WP:XY now. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:20, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Every Time I Feel the Spirit (song)

[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 procedural close. The main issue has turned out to be the notability of the song: now that Ojorojo's decision to turn the article into a redirect has been challenged, the proper venue for continuing the discussion would be WP:AFD. In the meantime, I'm restoring the article as there's generally less harm in keeping an article about a potentially non-notable topic than in having a confusing redirect. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala 12:32, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not mentioned in article. This edit by user:Ojorojo replaced the page content (unreferenced and unimproved for 5+ years) with a redirect to [[Spiritual (music)|spiritual]] but that target does not contain any mention of the phrase. Better left as a redlink to encourage article creation. Alternative action would to revert the blank-and-redirect edit and PROD or AfD the page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:06, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Tharpe album was a posthumous compilation release. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:55, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good find! I would recommend restoring of the article where it could then list popular cover versions. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:34, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In the five years since it was created, the article still consisted of two sentences: "Every Time I Feel the Spirit" (aka "Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit") is an African-American spiritual dating to before the US Civil War. The song has been frequently recorded by contemporary artists and gospel music groups.[1]" The dead AllMusic link probably showed that it was recorded by several artists.[2] There are thousands and thousands of songs that have been recorded by several artists. However, not all meet the notability requirements for a WP article: "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject[1] of multiple,[2] non-trivial[3] published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label ... Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." This appears to be a WP:Permastub. —Ojorojo (talk) 13:40, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Right, but my point is that the appropriate forum is AfD, and not a process where one editor edits an article down to a (bad) redirect and then a second editor proposes its deletion here. Process matters. UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Point taken. I was being bold and it certainly prompted the discussion. —Ojorojo (talk) 22:26, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete as unopposed. -- Tavix (talk) 21:11, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the YU is a vehicle, not a concept. The redirect is meaningless as-is, and is sitting on a page that should be created. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:50, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per recent precedent that redirects that omit spaces between the title and disambiguator are not useful. In this case the redirect is a relic of an undiscussed page move in 2007 that was reverted 2 hours and 6 minutes later. Thryduulf (talk) 12:42, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These redirects actively impede navigation for users looking for articles about one of the dozens (hundreds?) of articles about universities that have such a Faculty. Better to let search do its job? . Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:28, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for the same reasons as Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 March 19#Interstate 6: these are unused U.S. route numbers. They should be red to prevent confusion in case someone were to think they've been used at one point in the past or future. There's no mention of these numbers at the target article, which is also confusing. -- Tavix (talk) 01:38, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
