Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo → Darth Vader[edit]

This redirect, from Salad Days (talk · contribs) who has also given us earwig helmet, Ice helmet (AfD discussion), and Beekeeping helmet (AfD discussion), makes no sense. Uncle G 19:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

475 (number) → Interstate 475[edit]

The result of the debate was Withdrawn. -- JLaTondre 12:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The number 475 does not necessarily refer to an Interstate Highway. The incoming links are not about roads. Khatru2 08:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing. Upon further review, I have retargeted 475 (number) to 400 (number). Khatru2 08:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:List of Futurama episodes → List of Futurama episodes[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 02:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace redirect that is only being used to transclude an article full of fair use images onto User:The Moneycruncher's user page. Khatru2 07:51, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Probably remove any fair use images from the userpage too. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 18:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Add 'em Up (The Price is Right pricing game) → Add 'em Up (game show) → Add 'em Up[edit]

The result of the debate was Kept. -- JLaTondre 02:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if multiple redirects per nomination like this would work. Anyway, the first redirect is useless without qualifications for a "search term", and there's only one title "Add 'em Up". Unless there's another game show "Add 'em Up", we can live without these redirects. --Gh87 06:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Redirects are relatively harmless, and these in particular may be useful to prevent duplicate article creation. 24.19.35.187 02:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per other Price is Right redirects. Philwelch 05:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

عمرو خالد → Amr Khaled[edit]

The result of the debate was Kept. Precedence is that redirects from alternate languages are not encouraged, but they are not deleted simply for being an alternate language. -- JLaTondre 02:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination from me. This was nominated at AfD, which isn't the right place for it, as a redirect from a foreign language (and foreign script, for that matter), which the nominator argued was not allowed. I have no experience in RfD and thus no opinion on the matter for the present. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 10:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure if it is different in Chinese but this was kept 寓言 → Fable (album). I don't know how to directly link to the discussion but it is archived on the November 30th discussion page. It appears that forien language redirects are not disollowed. --65.95.17.157 22:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it. No harm in cross-script redirects. Philwelch 06:06, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete Could set a very confusing precedent, simply for the fact that nearly all contributors to English Wiki know the Latin alphabet, but definitely not all EN wikipedians know the other alphabets. This could lead to many redirects created by bad faith editors like "Idiot (in X alphabet, particularly an obscure one) being redirected to Mr./Mrs. X". How will anyone will be able to weed them out? At least in Latin we can use common sense to see if the target and the redirect have some sort of association with each other. If the other one was kept, it shouldn't have been. This is not a slight on other nationalities: I am originally a non-anglophone, and I am seriously convinced that this can lead to wild redirects being created all around wikipedia with no possibility to clean them up just some kind of an inside joke among a particular group. Hey, I have seen some wild stuff happen around, so that definitely wouldn't surpise me :) Baristarim 01:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Wicker Man (1978 film) → The Wicker Man[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 02:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never was a 1978 release or remake. It was released in a restored version in 1979. Currently The Wicker Man is the main topic page, with the disambiguation page linking to redirect page The Wicker Man (1973 film) as per WP:Disambiguation#Primary Topic.
