October 26[edit]

Captain highpants → John Mark Karr[edit]

The nominated redirect was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 23:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Horribly implausible search term, ~~if not an outright joke.~~ Core des at 01:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Upon further review, it seems that this was a nickname coined by one CNN talk show host for John Mark Karr, but there is no evidence that it's widely used. --Core des at 01:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, as an attack page. (I would do so myself, but I'd like to see at least one person agree with me that G10 applies first). Failing that, just delete. Mango juice^talk 14:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Van der Graaf Generator (rock band) → Van der Graaf Generator (band)[edit]

The nominated redirect was Kept. -- JLaTondre 23:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are no other bands named Van der Graaf Generator. Doesn't seem likely that someone would search for "...(rock band)" specifically. Hriped 02:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, does no harm. Gavia immer (u|t|c) 15:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The page has history and shows that content was merged into the destination page. This preserves our compliance with GFDL. Rossami (talk) 19:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved talk archive page. The redirect is not needed. --- RockMFR 02:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The software automatically creates those redirects for a reason. Many other users will want to find that archive. Deleting the redirect will make their jobs harder. Rossami (talk) 20:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Favorite Artist Philippines → MTV Asia Award for Favorite Artist Philippines[edit]

All of these articles actually refer to an MTV Asia Award of the given name, so I moved them all. It seems misleading to keep the general name, as it makes it seem that MTV Asia Awards defines that term. SilverStar_talk 07:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Favorite Artist India → MTV Asia Award for Favorite Artist India[edit]

All of these articles actually refer to an MTV Asia Award of the given name, so I moved them all. It seems misleading to keep the general name, as it makes it seem that MTV Asia Awards defines that term. SilverStar_talk 07:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shawn Ashmore (disambiguation) → Shawn Ashmore[edit]

The nominated redirect was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 21:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This page was never a disambiguation page and was created by a user who tried to use the {{otherpeople}} template for a disambiguation top link on the Ashmore page. Simply put, it is not necessary. Khatru2 07:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per above. Grstain | Talk 13:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Atyle/Archive 54 → Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 54[edit]

The nominated redirect was Speedy deleted under G6. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect was created by a page move. "Atyle" is a typo. Jimp 08:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious → Ritual de lo Habitual[edit]

The nominated redirect was converted to disambig. -- JLaTondre 01:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a redirect based on a song "Obvious" by Jane's Addiction, redirecting to the album that song is on. The song is not important enough to be discussed in that article. There is another song called "Obvious" by Westlife, released as a single. There are no incoming links here, and because of the possible confusion between the two songs, neither target is good... not to mention that many links to "obvious" probably refer to no song at all. I think the best thing is to delete here. Mango juice^talk 14:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, overspecific redirect with no good alternative target. Gavia immer (u|t|c) 15:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Obvious has now become a disambiguation page, so I guess this is moot. Better this way, at least. Mango juice^talk 22:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per nom's comment directly above --SilverStar_talk 06:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
