November 17[edit]
"national association for science fiction" → National Association for Science Fiction[edit]
Is there a reason for quoted redirects like this that I am unaware of? There seem to be a large number of them ... some are actual quotations, but most are just random people or topics that for whatever reason have a quoted redirect. BigDT 19:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as implausible redirect. I'd say most of the time, quote-redirects are bad, although there are occasional appropriate uses. This one was the original location of the article, but Deb moved it to its current title, and this was left behind. Picaroon9288 02:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Simon the Zealot → Simon the Apostle[edit]
Page moved without notice or consensus. Want to move page back and retain history. --evrik (talk) 17:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Requested Moves is over there. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Logic-system → Logic system[edit]
Hyphen is only used by the article created and author. I think the target name is a neologism, and should be deleted rather than redirected, but this hyphen is bad. Please orphan and delete. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

- Logic-systems → Logic system
- General logic-system → Logic system
- Finite logic-system → Logic system

- keep. There's no reason to think searchers wouldn't occasionally use a hyphen here, and that's a valid function of a redirect. Unfocused 18:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is unreasonable in the field of mathematical logic and proof theory that a researcher who would understand the material would use a hyphen. I can't speak for the computer science people. (And my Ph.D thesis was a field generally related to this topic, so I can speak with reasonable authority.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Red Link → Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery[edit]
Cross-namespace redirect, plus I think it should be a red link. oTHErONE (Contribs) 08:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - not an encyclopedic topic, and even if a user were specifically searching for the meaning of red links on Wikipedia, this is not what they would would be looking for. Plus, it should be a red link. Gavia immer (u|t|c) 17:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Delete, no useful incoming links. Plus, CNRs are useless. 202.67.87.166 23:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Retarget to Dead link. 202.67.87.166 23:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)- Weak Delete. Broken links are not often red. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Unfunnycyclopedia -- Uncyclopedia[edit]
Unnecessary, creator is a vandal directing all manner of The Colbert Report items to Elephant due to Stephen Colbert's Elephant-Wikipedia obsession. BabuBhatt 16:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

no articles link to the original redirect page Crashintome4196 23:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Regardless of whether the redirect page has any links to it, this redirect could plausibly aid in searching. See also this section. Picaroon9288 23:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
