January 13[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion on January 13, 2008

Manassas Battle Feild → Manassas National Battlefield Park[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. WjBscribe 02:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know that someone tried to write an article on Manassas National Battlefield Park here, but no one else is going to make the same mistake of leaving out the word "national," splitting "battlefield" into two words, and misspelling "field." Redirect from an absurd mistake.

  • Delete implausible typo beyond this one time. Content not merged. –Pomte 09:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and Pomte - I agree, it's implausible.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

Adnan Ghalib → Britney Spears[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete (non admin closure). David Pro (talk) 13:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the name of the Birmingham-born Pakistani man who Britney Spears has been seen with lately. Britney's article makes no mention of him, because Wikipedia is not a tabloid.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 09:48, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I think it's a bit premature to delete this redirect, because of these rumors that she wants to marry him. Granted most of the sources are tabloids themselves, but nothing seems too outrageous for Britney Spears anymore, so this could become a reality anytime now. Yes, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, but a simple redirect isn't violating that, either. I believe at this point, a properly cited section with verifiable sources within her article regarding this relationship might feasible, too. Jauerback (talk) 18:37, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There is no mention of him in the Britney article, meaning this redirect is of no use to anybody wishing to learn more about the man. If he does marry her, or do anything else that merits inclusion into the main article, we can always recreate the redirect.--Pushsense (talk) 08:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per pushsense SJMNY (talk) 02:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LB (rock band) → Limp Bizkit[edit]

The result of the debate was retarget to LB. WjBscribe 02:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect must be redirected to LB. David Pro (talk) 19:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sofixit. You don't need to delete the pagehistory to change the destination of a redirect. Rossami (talk) 04:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Is there any reason that the redirect, which is surely an implausible search and has no incoming links, ought not to be deleted outright? Joe 00:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually, that's a fairly plausible search (though probably not with the intent to get that specific page). Being an orphan is explicitly not a reason to delete a redirect. Remember that in a perfect world, all of our redirects would be orphans. Looking at the pagehistory and the creator's contribution history, the redirect appears to have been created in good faith and was presumably useful to him/her. So yes, there is a reason not to delete - we are supposed to assume good faith until we have evidence to the contrary and we keep redirects until they are harmful because there is no advantage to deleting them.
