Kannadasan spirit → Eraaa 2008 Film[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. Wizardman 02:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant redirect, again, does not refer to anything on the page to be redirected. Antivenin 15:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete This redirect is not irrelevant. A Google search shows that the spirit of Kannadasan is related to this film. But is this redirect plausible? Probably not. Cunard (talk) 17:37, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: original target was renamed Eraaa. Retargeting to fix double redirect. B.Wind (talk) 23:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

Dhigil → Eraaa 2008 Film[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete. Lenticel (talk) 05:06, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant redirect. Also, refer to the other redirects made by user Hareesh_narayan. Antivenin 15:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: original target was renamed Eraaa. Retargeting to fix double redirect. B.Wind (talk) 23:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - "Dhigil" is nowhere to be found in the target. B.Wind (talk) 14:31, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

Spirit lyrics → Eraaa 2008 Film[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete. The article section in the weak keep argument might be challenged and removed. The redirect is also vague and confusing. Lenticel (talk) 05:06, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant redirect. Probably intended as promotion for the film page. Antivenin 15:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: original target was renamed Eraaa. Retargeting to fix double redirect. B.Wind (talk) 23:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - in the target, there is a section headed with "Lyric Penned By Spirit", but I don't know if it will last much longer as it is apparently original research (either that or originating in the mound of external links at the bottom of the page - there are no footnotes in the article, which is in a bad need of a rewrite)... but if it's a major part of the tuneless movie, the redirect should be kept.

Member page → Help:Logging in[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete. Cenarium Talk 15:03, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely CNR to a help page, maybe pointing at a web-hosting/personal ad article, but not this. MBisanz talk 02:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - improper CNR. Mainspace is for mainspace content. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:10, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete probably won't be an issue with being recreated/confused by new users. Looks like it was just a one-time mistake back in 2003. -- Ned Scott 05:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - what a history for something that could have been speedily deleted in the first seven minutes of its existence (as a redirect from article space to a userpage). This is a classic case of a redirect in search of a valid target, and none has been found so far. It's a very unlikely search term and a CNR to boot. B.Wind (talk) 21:41, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The most likely reason that it was a one-time mistake in 2003 is because the redirect preempted other new users from making the same mistake. It's doing no harm and has been somewhat helpful. If someone someday wants to write encyclopedic content at this title, they can do so without needing to delete the pagehistory first.

Mangal font → Wikipedia:Sandbox/Mangal Font[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete. GlassCobra 11:42, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely CNR to a sandbox. MBisanz talk 02:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - improper CNR, unlikely. Mainspace is for mainspace content. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:10, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am not very used to en wikipedia policies, as such I copy pasted content to my talk page for my future reference. Deonagari is a Majior world script,and Managal Font is most important font for the given script, not having article is not some thing good for en wikipedia. so As far as importnace article is un-deniable. You are learned people you can take better decesions thank you.

Mahitgar (talk) 15:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've moved it to your own user space, as it looks like a draft to me. That's what I've seen before, and I think this is the best solution. Magog the Ogre (talk) 18:23, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete per criterion R2 (redirect from article space to user space). Granted, this is currently a double redirect to user space, but the same principle applies. — Gavia immer (talk) 18:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Unfortunately, CSD R2 wouldn't apply to either part of the double redirect as it is right now: there is no mention about redirects to or from project (Wikipedia:) pages. Ironically, if the double redirect were resolved, it would be subject to CSD R2. B.Wind (talk) 22:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Loyola Educational Institutes → Category:Educational institutions named for Saint Ignatius Loyola[edit]

The result of the debate was Retarget to List of Jesuit institutions. GlassCobra 11:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely, CNR to a category, not a probable search term, could at best be pointed at a random Loyola themed article. MBisanz talk 02:40, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

Make a page → Wikipedia:Sandbox[edit]

The result of the debate was Retarget to Wikipedia:Your first article. Lenticel (talk) 00:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely, improper CNR, no history to preserve. MBisanz talk 02:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Unlikely? This page was already deleted five times after being recreated by newbies. The CNR lets them go to the sandbox to practice instead. If deleting, this should be salted to prevent recreation, but I think that would disenfranchises new editors. — xaosflux Talk 03:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget as per arguments below. — xaosflux Talk 23:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As Xaosflux notes, this redirect is the easiest and least bitey way to point new users to the sandbox. It preempts the need to continue to monitor and delete the user test pages that seem to naturally pop up at this title. Salting the page is theoretically possible but by policy, not to be encouraged except to stop persistent vandalism. Rossami (talk) 04:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Retarget. Xenocidic suggestion below is a better target. Rossami (talk) 16:26, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - improper CNR, unlikely. Mainspace is for mainspace content. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Most of these should be speedied, but in cases like this where there's a lot of recreation/possible confusion, a redirect like this makes sense. -- Ned Scott 05:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Wikipedia:Your first article –xeno (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Wikipedia:Your first article per Xeno. — neuro(talk) 16:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Repoint to Wikipedia:Your first article per Xeno. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
