December 12[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion on December 12, 2007

Sacred Realm → Hyrule[edit]

The result of the debate was keep, since it was just made into a redirect as a result of an afd, might as well leave it. Wizardman 03:40, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

overly generic redirect name to a specific usage 132.205.99.122 (talk) 21:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This AFD discussion is relevant. While I don't disagree with the nominator here, I'd rather have a redirect than a recreation of the deleted page. The redirect does not currently seem to be in the way of a real article on the topic (and if it later is, anyone can simply overwrite the redirect). The inbound links all seem to be using the term in a way appropriate to this redirect. Rossami (talk) 15:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

Quad damage → Quake (series)[edit]

The result of the debate was keep. - Mtmelendez (Talk) 00:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

overly generic redirect name to a specific usage 132.205.99.122 (talk) 21:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • See this related AFD discussion. As above, all the inbound links seem to be using the term in a way appropriate to the redirect but if someone someday wants to write an article on the generic concept (and can find sources for it), they can do that by simply overwriting the redirect. No need to delete it from pagehistory. Rossami (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The term "quad damage" seems primarily associated with Quake as evidenced by Google News search results. –Pomte 00:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep . Since "Quad Damage" cannot have its own article, it is very reasonable to redirect to the quake series since it is one of the basics of the game. Loukinho (talk) 00:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gwladgold → Gwlad[edit]

The result of the debate was speedy delete (R1). Mr.Z-man 23:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gwladgold is unrelated to Gwlad – PeeJay 09:17, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment and Delete Personally I feel this falls under csd-r3 "It is a recently-created redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).". Although not created as a redirect, that is essentially what it became as it simply recreated the entire content of Gwlad. Since being changed to a redirect, it should just be killed quickly.Nouse4aname (talk) 13:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • You say that it's unrelated. I can't find any evidence that this particular title exists at all outside the Wikipedia pagehistory. But I also can't find anything else that this would apply to. If it exists, the redirect would seem appropriate. Either way, the page definitely does not apply for speedy-deletion under R3. You can say many things about this as a fork or other action but I don't see any way to credibly call this a typo, implausible or otherwise. Rossami (talk) 16:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gwladgold is completely unrelated to Gwlad, except it starts the same. It should have been immediately deleted anyway, but since being changed to a redirect, the article name is an obvious implausible typo. There is no justification to keep it or redirect to Gwlad. Nouse4aname (talk) 11:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • If it's unrelated to Gwlad, then it must be related to something else. I couldn't find it. What is that something else that you've alleged? Rossami (talk)
        • Sorry, you've lost me! Its unrelated to Gwlad, and unrelated to anything else. It is a made up word. Nouse4aname (talk) 09:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
          • Being a hoax is a completely different argument. And in my opinion, that is a good reason to delete. Thank you for clarifying. Rossami (talk) 16:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete as a redirect to a non-existant page. Wildthing61476 (talk) 23:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
