February 19[edit]

Robert x. cringley → Robert X. Cringely[edit]

The result of the debate was keep John Reaves (talk) 03:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's spelled wrong. HughL [talk?]/[contribs] •  05:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You mean incorrectly capitalized. Move to Robert X. Cringley and add to Category:Redirects from misspellings as a likely mis-spelling. --GunnarRene 20:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Aid to common search term. —Dgiest c 08:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I've added {{R from misspelling}}. The move that GunnarRene proposes probably isn't necessary, MediaWiki handles the capitalized version fine already. But, whichever. — coelacan talk — 01:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and close Useful redirect. John Reaves (talk) 23:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naked and petrified → Slashdot[edit]

The result of the debate was keep John Reaves (talk) 03:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It redirects to slashdot, but a text search of the article slashdot finds nothing for "naked" or "petri" SakotGrimshine 08:58, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It's some stupid Slashdot meme. If we delete it, either we need to salt it too or someone will just recreate it. —Dgiest c 08:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt, then. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 14:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Seems a little less elegant though... "Hot grits" and Natalie Portman are both mentioned in the Slashdot article, and these three are usually combined. —Dgiest c 17:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, redirects are cheep, it's not offensive and it points to a reasonable spot. >Radiant< 11:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep to prevent creation. John Reaves (talk) 23:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Westplatt → Limburgish[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. This seems better as a redlink as there appears to be no verifiable information on what the target should be. The referenced Google search returns only Wikipedia mirrors. The existence of two possible targets confuses the issue more. -- JLaTondre 22:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly used word in another language Sarcelles 09:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep from what I can tell from a Google search (Westplatt + Limburgish), this is either a dialect or another term for "Limburgish". John Reaves (talk) 23:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The talk page of Westplatt currently redirects to the talk page of Dutch Low Saxon (since Westplatt was moved to Dutch Low Saxon a while ago). I don't understand the difference between these terms, but it seems like Westplatt should definitely redirect to something. --- RockMFR 21:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(1R, 1N, 2, 3R, 3N) → Oradea tram lines[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. —Centrx→talk • 20:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be the tram line numbers & colors. Not very useful in my opinion. If kept, the double redirect needs to be fixed. JLaTondre 19:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Moore's Minute Men → Iraqi insurgency[edit]

The result of the debate was speedy deleted by BigDT (attack page). --- RockMFR 15:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly created for purposes of political comment, not to assist users in finding an article. Russ (talk) 20:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move redirect to Michael Moore's Minutemen as the most common term. --GunnarRene 20:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete - Intended to defame in violation of WP:BLP and I see no evidence the term is in common use. —Dgiest c 08:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Dgies. WjBscribe 09:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete. This one is an obvious CSD#G10 and I've tagged it. — coelacan talk — 01:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DRAMA → Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard[edit]

The result of the debate was Retarget to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. —Dgiest c 08:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not supposed to be funny. Seriously, the connection between the redirect and target is spurious, and has only been used a handful of times. I think it belongs in WP:BJ. YechielMan 20:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • : - ( -- that is, weak keep We can handle a bit of humor. I like it, and I don't think it's hurting anyone, since it's not listed under "Shortcuts" where the easily offended could see it. We don't know how many people secretly use this redirect (rather than WP:AN) to get to the noticeboard, right?. If this ends up being deleted, though, WP:WIKIDRAMA should probably be deleted too. --N Shar 18:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • No !vote, but isn't the rightful target AN/I? By the way, whatever the closing result of this RFD, I'm going to complain about abuse of admin powers. — coelacan talk — 00:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. That's where the real drama is :) --- RockMFR 02:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also think ANI is the best target, but a reasonable case could be made for Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre. —Dgiest c 17:30, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep seems like an secret shortcut for some wiki insiders, as a previous editor said wikipedia can handle a little humor. Wooyi 04:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's true and is a well-intentioned joke by an editor in good standing. — MichaelLinnear 03:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, that's where I would assume it would go, anyway! GracenotesT § 05:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep we have plenty of humor in the Wikipedia namespace. Keep, or at least point it to Deletion Review :) Koweja 16:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
