June 20[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 20, 2008

Misc. projects → Miscellaneous English Bible translations[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. Term too generic. Move history documented at target's history so no need to keep here. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely undescriptive title for any article, unrelated to the target. The article was originally at this title, but for less than one day in January 2006. No evidence that this is in use or likely to be useful for anything in the furure. — Gavia immer (talk) 19:02, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep because it documents the pagemove. Weak because, as Gavia notes, it was not at the original title for all that long. Keep anyway because the act of deleting the page costs more than it gains for the project. Rossami (talk) 19:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no relation between original and redirect. JaakobouChalk Talk 07:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge history, then delete - it is generally most unuseful to have general terms redirect to specific ones, and one can't get much more general than "Misc. projects". B.Wind (talk) 22:58, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mannyribera → Manny Ribera[edit]

The result of the debate was Mixed. Mannyribera (unlikely search term), Jessy Stroup (no evidence this is a valid shortening), Donald Lyman Shanks (no evidence this is a valid expansion), Jordan Brewster (unlikely search term), Walter Houghston (unlikely misspelling), and Virginia Admiral-De Niro (unlikely search term) deleted. The remainder kept and tagged as appropriate. -- JLaTondre (talk) 02:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is one example from a rather large set of redirects that were created by a now-banned editor (see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 June 4. Mannyribera and the block of redirects below (all also nominated for consideration and comment) appear to be attempts for various variations of target names. While plausible misspellings lead to redirects that are justified to be kept, some of these are simply unlikely variations (such as "Jeffrey Daniel Phillips" which appears to be an extension of the actual name but not the actual name itself). The last one is added as the subject of the article was rarely - if ever - referred to by only his last name, and only then in the context of an article that mentions his first name at least once. Also nominated:

Haydin Christensen → Hayden Christensen
M.J. Mcdonnell → M.J. McDonnell
MJ McDonnell → M.J. McDonnell
Jessy Stroup → Jessica Stroup
Donald Lyman Shanks → Don Shanks
Katie Knighten → Ava Santana
Kathryn E. Knighten → Ava Santana
Jenn Tilly → Jennifer Tilly
Jeffrey Daniel Phillips → Jeff Daniel Phillips
Jordan Brewster → Jordana Brewster
Harison Ford → Harrison Ford
Walter Houghston → Walter Huston
Virginia Admiral-De Niro → Virginia Admiral
Damski → Mel Damski

In order of listing:
— xDanielx T/C\R 20:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the following as plausible typos: Haydin Chritensen, M.J. Mcdonnell, MJ McDonnell, Harison Ford; keep as shortened (informal) versions of actual names (although informal versions should be discouraged as much as possible) Jessy Stroup (does anybody actually call her Jessy?), Katie Knighten, Kathryn E. Knighten, Jenn Tilley (I don't think even her own family calls her "Jenn"); delete as potentially confusing extensions of names Jeffrey Daniel Phillips, Donald Lyman Shanks (I see no evidence indicating that the middle initial stands for Lyman), Virginia Admiral-De Niro (she doesn't use the hyphenated form; neither should Wikipedia); delete as implausible typo mannyribero, Walter Houghston; delete as potentially confusing Damski (no context - he is referred by last name only after his complete name is stated in an article) and Jordan Brewster (potentially confusing as a clearly feminine name has been tranformed into a masculine or gender-neutral one). 147.70.242.40 (talk) 20:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kaarthick Paramananthan (Wembley High) → Wembley High Technology College[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:10, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This name (assumably either from the faculty or administration of the high school) does not appear in the target article. For the same reason, I also nominate Lucas (Wembley High) → Wembley High Technology College. B.Wind (talk) 05:02, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete both - no clear connection. unclear why these people would be searched on the project. JaakobouChalk Talk 07:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

E.J.H. → My Name Is Earl[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. VegaDark (talk) 02:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect was originally pointed toward Earl J. Hickey, the protagonist of the television series. It is most unlikely for readers and editors to be finding articles about fictional characters by searching their initials (with periods and no spaces); in addition, this can be a confusing redirect as the similar E.J.H. Corner redirects to E. J. H. Corner. B.Wind (talk) 04:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - can't see a reason anyone would look for him with the initials. JaakobouChalk Talk 07:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom - not a particularly useful redirect, and potentially confusing. Terraxos (talk) 23:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jezebel (magazine) → Jezebel[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. If there is a notable magazine, then it should should up as a redlink on the dab page; not be redirected to the dab page. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:13, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like a valid redirect, but the dab page target doesn't contain any links to magazine articles, nor is there any mention of Jezebel magazine. B.Wind (talk) 04:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Google search suggests the magazine deserves it's own Wiki-article so I've added a mention at the disambiguation page.[1] JaakobouChalk Talk 07:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • A discription not including the URL would be less likely to be removed as linkspam. What makes it significant - and what separates the "new" Jezebel (as it's titled) from the (assumably) former magazine of the same name? B.Wind (talk) 23:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Which I just did - a bare mention of the URL qualifies as linkspam even if there is no actual link. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 20:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I see no evidence of an online Jezebel magazine that is worthy of its own Wikipedia article - the one at the just-removed URL has been around about a year, if I read the site correctly, and I see nothing there that separates it from many of the other picture sites on the Web. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 20:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
