Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 April 9

Delete All, I think the above 48 redirects to Justice League episodes should be deleted because they could cause problems when someone is searching with articles with similar names and these redirects are really redundant. Gman124 00:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The whole point of a redirect is that they are redundant, thats why we have a redirect, not a separate article. —dgies^t_c 05:52, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all - Aid to searching to searching and insures existing links point to the existing content. Anyone who wants to make an article can replace the redirect. —dgies^t_c 05:52, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all as some might contain history (GDFL issue) and nobody wants to check each one. Anyway, "could cause problems when someone is searching" is a pretty tenuous reason for deletion. If lots of search results are really a problem....then Wikipedia has problems, period. Dgies seems to have the most substantive argument so far. Redirects are cheap, and these might prove useful. That's good enough for me. Xtifr _tälk 13:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: This is a discussion, not a vote. Got a reason to offer us? Otherwise, the closer can and probably will ignore your suggestion. Xtifr _tälk 15:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: (later after reason added) ok, fair enough, but not actually much of a reason. A redir is easier to turn into an article, since you don't have to create the article (so you don't even need an account). At least one of these (the only one I checked the history of) has bounced between being an article and a redirect more than once already. Xtifr _tälk 00:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
delete becasue I find at List of Justice Leage episode's disscusin that they don't want to make episode pages so why keep these redirectUpperd 14:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: The fact that some people currently don't want to make episode pages doesn't mean that other people may not want to later, especially since there's a broader general consensus that articles for individual episodes of television shows are appropriate and desirable.

Keep. Potentially useful search terms, and as mentioned before may contain history we ahve to hang on to. Arkyan • ^(talk) 17:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I just checked one at random, and it did indeed contain history. Xtifr _tälk 00:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Redirecting individual episodes to the list seems reasonable. No policy reason for delete. Having fiction titles similar to other terms is common. --Shirahadasha 01:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all. If other works of fiction use these titles, it would be appropriate to disambiguate. Redirects are useful for incoming links as well as search terms. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all per Dgies. Acalamari 16:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all deletion rationales are nonsensical. JuJube 19:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While I think that individual episode articles are pointless, redirect have some use in that they keep others from endlessly recreating these non-articles. Reluctant keep all. Rossami (talk) 20:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
