November 4[edit]

Hynčice (disambiguation) → Hynčice[edit]

The result of the debate was keep. WjBscribe 16:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Residue from resolution of malplaced disambiguation page; redirect is misleading as the actual disambiguation page rests at Hynčice User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 12:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:DAB#Page naming conventions. Such redirects are common and should not be deleted. -- JLaTondre 14:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It documents a pagemove that the nominator just carried out earlier today. Pagemoves automatically leave redirects behind for very good reasons. Attempting to delete them so quickly makes me wonder what the nominator is trying to cover up. This redirect meets none of the "delete if" criteria listed above and, as JLaTondre said, meets our explicit recommendations for disambig pages. Rossami (talk) 15:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Sorry, but I am not trying to cover up anything. I don't know enough about the topic to consider what would be worth covering up. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Redirects with the (disambiguation) suffix are good, not bad, since they can document that the target is a disambiguation page, mark links that are intended to target a disambiguated term, and also ensure that someone searching for a possible disambiguation page will be pointed to the right place. In other words, what JLaTondre said, but without the link. — Gavia immer (talk) 18:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Question Would not having a title categorized as a dab page via use of {{disambig}} be sufficient to document that the page as a disambiguation page? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • That doesn't document it in Special:Whatlinkshere. It can be useful to have that information available from zero clicks away when you're checking links for whatever reason. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GDDR2 → DDR2 SDRAM[edit]

The result of the debate was retarget to DDR2 SDRAM#Relation_to_GDDR_memory. WjBscribe 16:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DDR2 SDRAM#Relation_to_GDDR_memory colloquial misnomer, keep the link to the explanation of the relation between the two, but do not make it a redirect. Andries 10:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC) (corrected link 16:22, 4 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

CORE (Program) → Community Emergency Response Team[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. -- John Reaves 07:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The target of this redirect doesn't seem to correspond with the title "CORE (program)". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrishomingtang (talk • contribs) 22:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The hyperlink that the original author added to the edit summary explains the connection. CORE is an Oakland-based example of a Community Emergency Response Team run by the Oakland Fire Department Office of Emergency Services. I don't see any evidence that the Oakland program is sufficiently notable or has sufficient sources to support an independent article. I suppose you could consider this a vanity-redirect but it's a non-profit and I'd rather suffer with the redirect than to have a full vanity article that we have to delete. Weak keep because redirects are cheap and this one doesn't seem to be in the way of an actual article yet (and if it is, it can be overwritten then). Rossami (talk) 03:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The target contains no mention of the redirect title, making it of little navigational use and potentially confusing the reader. A quick google search suggests that are other things someone could be looking for - a company (C.O.R.E Program, Inc.), the subject of a book (The Core Program: 15 Minutes a Day That Can Change Your Life), a program of the Department of the Interior called CORE, and various programs accredited by an organisation called CORE. We don't have articles to warrant creating a disambig page, and for now the redirect doesn't seem helpful so I think deleting is the best option. WjBscribe 16:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
