Radon fluoride → Radon difluoride[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete. Lenticel ^(talk) 23:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not the same, and the link could be misleading. Radon difluoride is a radon fluoride, but radon fluoride is not necessary radon difluoride There also exists xenon tetra- and hexafluoride. Grrahnbahr (talk) 22:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - could be potentially misleading. Midorihana みどりはな 23:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As far as I know, only one radon fluoride is actually known (please correct me if I'm wrong). When only one compound is known, it is useful to have a redirect from an incomplete or ambiguous name. There was one claim of radon tetrafluoride once, but as far as I've seen it was controversial and never confirmed. Another alternative would be to move radon difluoride to radon fluoride and discuss all the issues there: the good, the bad, and the ugly (or rather the compounds with confirmed composition, the ones with unknown composition, and the controversial ones). --Itub (talk) 15:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blecch → Mad (magazine)[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. Lenticel ^(talk) 23:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target page. Mad almost never uses "blecch", but rather "ecch". Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 12:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a confusing redirect. Midorihana みどりはな 23:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a confusing or nonsensical redirect, per the green flower. —Mizu onna sango15^Hello! 21:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I remember Mad magazine using the term 'Blecch' quite often when I used to read it, more than a decade ago. It's a neologism, but one that is notable and specific to Mad. - Richard Cavell (talk) 03:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Richard Cavell; notable and specific neologism (and redirects are cheap). —Giggy 14:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment How exactly is this word notable? And just to say, notability is not inherited.— Dæ dαlus^Contribs /_Improve 00:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fetish: Footage: Forum → Pattern Recognition (novel)[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete. Lenticel ^(talk) 23:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A series of words that is not mentioned in the article as far as I can find; it was previously CSD'd under R3, it was recently created because the creator claims it has to do with the novel it redirects to, yet I do not see any instance in which this series of words is mentioned — Dæ dαlus^Contribs /_Improve 01:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unless someone can explain the meaning or use of this redirect. Terraxos (talk) 02:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
