September 2[edit]

The weather in London → Climate of London[edit]

The nominated redirect was Belongs at Wikipedia:Deletion review not here. -- JLaTondre 21:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect that doesn't exist and should, but which keeps getting speedied whenever anyone tries to create it. Follows the examples set by Weather in London → Climate of London and The weather → Weather. Has historically been used as an intentionally permanent red link, but I've since replaced most of the links to it. This historical use, combined with the fact that it looks to the inexperienced user like a potential article subject, have made it a target of vandalism, as well as (from time to time) revert wars paved with good intentions. Covered by Wikipedia:Redirect#When should we delete a redirect?'s "avoid deleting such redirects if:" #3, and possibly also #1, #2 and #5. NeonMerlin 04:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep deleted. Another attempt to remove a piece of Wikipedia convention by reversing this page's process. There is a clear lack of consensus at Wikipedia talk:Intentionally permanent red link and other places NeonMerlin has raised the issue. Since 19 July, 10/13 edits to The weather in London have been from NeonMerlin. --Henrygb 20:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The nominated redirect was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 03:05, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needless cross-namespace redirect. --Rory096 00:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I agree with the above. Rbraunwa 03:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Some CNR to WP space may be useful for newbies, but this is an area for highly experienced editors who know how things are done. Not misleading, but just not needed. CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 17:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • At first I was going to say keep, just because it really can't hurt, but after reading his statement, I totally agree with CP\M. Delete. -Zapptastic (talk) 18:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also agree with CP/M but reach a different conclusion. "Not needed" is not a good reason for deletion of a redirect. Keep because it does no harm. The original creator clearly found it useful. Possibly others do as well. Rossami (talk) 22:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gunther Weidlinger → Günther Weidlinger[edit]

The nominated redirect was Redirect fixed. -- JLaTondre 02:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I created Günther Weidlinger‎Günther Weidlinger and created Gunther Weidlinger to redirect to the correctly accented name, but for some reason it hasn't worked, so could someone please delete this or point out what I am doing wrong. Thank you. (I see it is a red-link here too, but I can link to the article through my contributions, and my watchlist, are umlauts buggy?) Catchpole 22:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, deletion not needed. There was an invisible Unicode character U+200E at the end of the string in the redirect link. Have seen the same problem happening to another user the other day. Weird. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
