January 21[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion on January 21, 2008

'Howard Pyle' → Howard Pyle[edit]

The result of the debate was Kept. GFDL requires keep attribution. Redirects are cheap so not worth history merge or moving into target's talk space. -- JLaTondre 01:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another redirect that has unneeded apostrophes. Magioladitis (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unnecessary quotation that is unlikely to be used. — Gavia immer (talk) 14:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The pagehistory of this redirect is the only record we have of the contribution of content which was merged into the target page back in 2005. The merger was executed via cut-and-paste. (A history-merger would also satisfy GFDL but there is no reason to bother in this case.) Rossami (talk) 00:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Yet another useless redirect with quotes.-- Nips (talk) 22:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no reason to ever have apostrophes. Reywas92 ^Talk 22:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Mild as May" → Marlboro (cigarette)[edit]

The result of the debate was Kept. Article was moved prior to Mediawiki keeping record of moves at target as well as at source. Redirects are cheap so there's no need for more complicated ways of keeping the history. -- JLaTondre 01:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a slogan and has quotes. Same case with this one Magioladitis (talk) 16:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable marketing slogan, has quotes and therefore very unlikely to be searched. EJF (talk) 19:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very well-known marketing slogan. You could probably dig up a pile of sources if you care. Quoted titles make sense as an aid to common search terms MediaWiki's search does not handle. —dgies^t_c 03:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Documents the pagemove of content which was subsequently merged into the current target article. Rossami (talk) 00:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment And why you voted to delete: "Don't worry, there's no sugar." → Pepsi Max ? -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:28, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - That was a different situation. There was no content merged from the Pepsi jingle. It was first created as a redirect. Content was merged out of the page history of the cigarette slogan. Rossami (talk) 00:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Commercial slogans should be part of the article and not redirects. -- Nips (talk) 22:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
