September 23[edit]

Gnostic Institute of Anthropology → Gnostic Association of Anthropological, Cultural and Scientific Studies[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete - What WJB is saying makes sense. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 10:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of redirect page is a different association than that of the target page. Anton H 16:23, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then just overwrite the redirect page with text about the correct association. There is no need to purge the redirect from the pagehistory. In the meantime, the (one) inbound link seems to be a plausible reference to this organization. Rossami (talk) 13:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If someone was proposing to write the article that would one thing, but in the meantime having this redirect makes it less likely content will be added. That inbound link would be better as a redlink (as it would be more obvious that we don't yet have an article about this organisation) rather than a redirect to a different organisation.

procedural nomination Tagged for WP:PROD-deletion when it should have been brought here. PROD nominator states: "Not needed. Nothing links here." User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Capitalization variants are generally useful. No reason for deletion. — Gavia immer (talk) 17:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per Gavia immer. WP:RFD#K2, WP:RFD#K3, and WP:RFD#K5 apply. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 19:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The prod-nominator misunderstands the purpose and nature of redirects. In a perfect world, nothing should link to the redirect. They serve other purposes. Rossami (talk) 13:28, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As above, alternate capitalizations serve to redirect to the proper article. ^Ariel♥Gold 23:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the software takes care of incorrect capitalisation in the "Go" box, but not in the form http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_smith (from Cryodon). Rich Farmbrough, 15:34 25 September 2007 (GMT).

I'm gonna kill you → Threat[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 10:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

procedural nomination Tagged for WP:PROD-deletion when it should have been brought here. PROD nominator states: "This seems like an unlikely search terms and hence an unnecessary redirect" User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Having a target for this (or any similar threats) without good reason is potentially harmful, even if the target is innocuous. — Gavia immer (talk) 17:28, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for the reasons I stated above. :) --Moonriddengirl 23:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in WLH Isn't mentioned on TV or on website. -Domthedude001 20:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The redirect documents a pagemove from 2005. Pagemoves are generally considered useful history per WP:RFD#K1 above. Rossami (talk) 13:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted it, this redirect is of no actual use, having punctuation in it, it's unlikely to ever be used. -- Zanimum 14:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It has been restored pending conclusion of this debate. This redirect did not meet any of the very narrowly written speedy-deletion criteria. (By the way, punctuation has nothing to do with the functioning (or failure to function) of a redirect.) Rossami (talk) 20:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if it was actually from a page move. hmwith talk 16:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
