Roland point → Ronan point

The nominated redirect was Deleted. —Centrx→talk • 04:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Left over from a page I moved. I doubt anyone will be searching for this. Reyk _YO! 20:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• The five people who edited the article before you just moved it plus anyone who read the article in the meantime might want to know where you've moved the article. Those redirects are automatically created for a reason. On the other hand, the target article itself may be deleted. Keep the redirect as long as the target article is kept but if the target article is deleted, delete the redirect as well. Rossami (talk) 13:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. We actually have a decent article at Ronan Point and I've redirected Ronan point there. I don't see much point of keeping Roland point since it is wrong. As for 5 editors, I don't think we need to be concerned about bots and stubbers which means it is only 2. -- JLaTondre 00:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

''The Tick'' Comic Book → The Tick (comic book)

The nominated redirect was Deleted. —Centrx→talk • 02:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Left over from a page move by the creator of the article. Not a likely search term, since it uses multiple single quotes in place of double quotes. --Gavia immer 17:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I agree. Reyk _YO! 20:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Retarget to The Tick in anticipation of the merger. Others than the creator edited the page prior to the move. Rossami (talk) 13:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Template:Useless → Template:Reqphoto

The nominated redirect was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 11:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The redirect is, well, useless, to say the least, and confusing, since there is no link between it and its target. I did not get any real explanation from the person who created it. Template:Useless was deleted several times earlier this year. Schutz 15:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nomination. Rbraunwa 16:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete There is no appearent connection between the two meaning there is no reason for the redirect. --My old username 02:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as vandalism. This page has been a frequent target of similar violations of WP:POINT and has been deleted several times already. Rossami (talk) 13:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • It would be nice if you could elaborate on that statement. Salad Days 00:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I may be wrong but I believe that Rossami is claiming that the redirect was created to state that the other template was usless. Please correct me if I am mistaken though. --My old username 01:31, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
      • The template I was redirecting to is fine. I was referencing a commonly used internet phrase[1] as a mnemonic device so that I could remember a wierdly abbreviated camel-case template name. Salad Days 01:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
        • In this case, I'd suggest you create a redirect with an explicit name, such as {{Photograph required}}. That would be easier to remember for you, while keeping a logical link between the redirect and its target. Redirects that can be understood only by the original editor are not useful. Schutz 06:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
    • You are correct. According to the deletion log, this redirect has been deleted three times already. Only one of the deleted versions appears to me to have been a good-faith effort and it was deleted as the result of a TfD debate. Rossami (talk) 00:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Who is correct? I have no connection to the previously deleted versions, stop throwing around red herrings please. Salad Days 02:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Gypippopotimus → University of Cambridge

The nominated redirect was Deleted. —Centrx→talk • 02:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The term "Gypippopotimus" only appears a few times in a google search, and then only on wikipedia mirrors. Looks like some kind of inside joke. Bkkbrad 16:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, as per nomination. Rbraunwa 16:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

IPod Video on the bus → Gimme Little Sign

The nominated redirect was Deleted. —Centrx→talk • 23:21, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Unclear what the connection is to the linked-to article. Google didn't help. No incoming links to redirect in any case... Rehcsif 18:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
