James r kirkJames T. Kirk[edit]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to James R. Kirk per Blanchardb. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsHELP) 00:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Captain Kirk is never referred to as James R. Kirk in the Star Trek universe, as far as I can tell.  Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 00:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to Google I've found out what this is referring to. Apparently in the first episode they spell out Kirk's name on a tombstone, and it does say R, but this could just be a simple mistake. Deletion would be fine with me, but I should point out that we actually have an article for an unrelated James R. Kirk. Maybe retarget? -- Ned Scott 08:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Retargeting would be a great idea. -- Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 10:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lisa DruckStory of My Life (novel)[edit]

The result of the debate was Retarget to Rielle Hunter. Lenticel (talk) 23:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lisa Druck is a living person, the redirect is to a work of fiction, a novel that the author states was inspired by Lisa Druck. A novel inspired by someone is the author's personal spin on a person, and a fictional treatment. The novel is about a coke-addled booze guzzling floozy. Novels do not have the same guidelines as Wikipedia's biographies of living persons; this redirect violates the "Do No Harm" policy on living people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macduff (talkcontribs) 14:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC) *Delete for BLP reasons. We should consider removing the names from the article as well. Terraxos (talk) 02:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The redirect should be edited to point to Rielle Hunter, not the fictional work. The Rielle Hunter article would have to be written. Rielle Hunter, née Lisa Druck, is a woman who has apparently gained some level of notoriety on the coattails of a political scandal. Binksternet (talk) 03:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to either Rielle Hunter or John Edwards extramarital affair. Kelly hi! 22:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The redirect now points to Rielle Hunter. AdamKesher (talk) 23:07, 8 August 2008)
  • Opinion changed to Keep. Now that there is consensus to have an article on Rielle Hunter, I don't see what additional harm is done by having this name redirect there. Terraxos (talk) 03:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
