September 16[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 16, 2008

T Bootis → Tau Boötis[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete.Tikiwont (talk) 09:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

T Boötis and Tau Boötis represent two different stars: this redirect is therefore incorrect. Icalanise (talk) 17:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete factually wrong and misleading 70.51.8.158 (talk) 04:47, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

E Eridani → Epsilon Eridani[edit]

The result of the debate was Retarget to 82 Eridani (non-admin closure). Ruslik (talk) 07:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

e Eridani and Epsilon Eridani are two different stars. Furthermore, e Eridani should be written with a lowercase e rather than uppercase E. It may be best to redirect this to 82 Eridani, but this would still result in an incorrect designation being displayed as the "redirected from" string. Icalanise (talk) 14:27, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no E Eridani, so retarget to 82 Eridani (= e Eridani.) It's unfortunate that the designation will be displayed incorrectly in the redirect notice, but there's no easy way around this. Spacepotato (talk) 23:50, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per nom, and add a {{lowercase}} to the redirect page. 70.51.8.158 (talk) 04:49, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per above. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 23:41, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

T Ceti → Tau Ceti[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete.Tikiwont (talk) 09:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

T Ceti and Tau Ceti are two entirely different stars, so this redirect is misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Incorrect redirect. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 15:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

M Cassiopeiae → Mu Cassiopeiae[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete.Tikiwont (talk) 09:30, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

M Cassiopeiae does not mean the same thing as Mu Cassiopeiae: the Latin and Greek letter Bayer designations are not equivalent. Including this redirect is therefore misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

U And → Upsilon Andromedae[edit]

The result of the debate was Retarget to U Andromedae. I trust here that this is sufficiently meaningful and helps preventing other misnomers.Tikiwont (talk) 09:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

U Andromedae and Upsilon Andromedae are two completely different stars, so this redirect is misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Incorrect redirect. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 15:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as being misleading. --Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 21:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a stub article at Talk:U Andromedae/Temp - it might be better to set up U Andromedae as a stub and redirect U And to U Andromedae - the U Andromedae redirect has been deleted once before for similar reasons, so putting a stub there might prevent another round of incorrect redirection. Icalanise (talk) 11:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete factually wrong and misleading, replace with temp page 70.51.8.158 (talk) 04:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now; retarget after proposed move of "temporary" stub article proposed by Icalanise. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 20:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

U Andromedae → Upsilon Andromedae[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete and replace with new stub.Tikiwont (talk) 09:32, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

U Andromedae and Upsilon Andromedae are two completely different stars, so this redirect is misleading. Icalanise (talk) 14:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Incorrect redirect. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 15:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As the nom explains, it's wrong. Spacepotato (talk) 18:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On second thoughts, it looks like this redirect was previously deleted for exactly the same reason. Might be worth creating a stub for U Andromedae and redirecting U And to point to it. Icalanise (talk) 11:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a temporary stub article about U Andromedae at Talk:U Andromedae/Temp. Icalanise (talk) 11:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete factually wrong and misleading, replace with temp page 70.51.8.158 (talk) 04:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete CSD G6 to permit move of abovementioned stub article to this title. Icalanise and Spacepotato have done a pretty good job of article development - it's ready to be moved... this would be equivalent to an overwrite (as mentioned atop WP:RfD). 147.70.242.40 (talk) 21:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
