September 19[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 19, 2008

Hop-by-hop → Onion routing[edit]

The result of the debate was Re-target to Hop-by-hop transport. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Utterly useless redirect which points to an ostensibly unrelated article; seems to be a remnant of an attempt at an article on OR created in mid-2005 by a misguided user who didn't know the proper terminology. It should either be deleted or converted to disambig like End-to-end. 82.1.177.170 (talk) 22:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, forgot to log in, the above is me. By the way, I don't think it meets R3 anymore as it states Recently created... However, still delete as being implausible. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 02:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to existing article Hop-by-hop transport. It can still be disambiguated later if seen fit.--Tikiwont (talk) 08:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per Tikiwont. Proposed target needs work on its citations, but it's a more logical landing than the original target article. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 18:56, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CFB:OFFSEASON → Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Please Refrain from Spamming History AfDs during the season[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete the redirect left over after the move and update the shortcut reference. Tikiwont (talk) 08:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from the article namespace to a subpage of a Wikiproject.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 19:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Curious what would you recommend?--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as being an unplausible typo/misnomer. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 20:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not disagreeing but what would you recommend?--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Such redirects should begin with Wikipedia: and not have a colon anywhere else in their names. For example, Wikipedia:CFB-OFFSEASON (which will automatically create WP:CFB-OFFSEASON) would be fine.-- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 23:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What would I recommend of what? I don't understand your question, but I don't agree with Blanchard as is isn't really that much shorter than the title of the target. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 01:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Should not be redirecting from mainspace to project space. -Djsasso (talk) 21:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. There are a whole bunch of redirects to that WikiProject that begin with CFB:. It's like it has a reserved namespace, which, of course, is not the case. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 23:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response After thinking, I'm pretty sure that there is an editor in the project working on a bot to handle that and make the translation. I don't mind deleting, but can you hold off until his bot cycles through?--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:11, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a cross-namespace redirect. For future ones, you should (if you haven't already) ask the project to just move them to some Wikipedia:xxx... location. Protonk (talk) 05:54, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, unneeded cross-namespace redirect --Church of emacs (Talk | Stalk) 13:37, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete So much "Wait, what?", so little time. Does any other Wikiproject create links like this (in a psuedo-name dedicated to itself) ? Is this page really suggesting AfD stop for football half the year? --Phirazo (talk) 03:19, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response this is about the redirect itself, not the content of what is redirecting to...--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:31, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I know. The psuedo-namespace is the main reason I voted delete. I was just commenting that the content at the target is strange and unreasonable. --Phirazo (talk) 17:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Boldly moved to WP:CFBOFFSEASON. Stifle (talk) 11:21, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • So we have the shortcut under discussion... to a page whose title needs to be discussed. The original name seems to be following a precedent (see MOS:DAB), albeit being a link to an essay rather than an editorial guideline. As it is mentioned as a boxed short cut on the target page, I'm inclined to recommend keeping the redirect as proposed. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 19:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The page move created a new cross-namespace redirect, so the problem remains whole. The newly-moved page should be kept, but the redirect at its old location should be deleted. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 20:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes it should. I think there's consensus here to do it. Stifle (talk) 09:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doon Heritage Crossroads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia → Doon Heritage Crossroads[edit]

The result of the debate was Speedy Delete. Lenticel (talk) 12:44, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page was created through an editing blunder on my part. Can someone please zap it? Thanks.Kelisi (talk) 12:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced the content with the {{db-author}} to show that you've requested deletion (under the speedy deletion criteria G7) - hopefully that will draw an admin's attention to it sooner. Booglamay (talk) - 12:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Manele gratis → Manele[edit]

The result of the debate was Delete, taking into account that it had also been blanked once by the original creator.Tikiwont (talk) 08:59, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know I'm the one who made it into a redirect.. A user created the page which consisted of one sentence and a link to the Manele article (see history), I made it into a redirect, But I'm questioning if even that is appropriate. Brougham96 (talk) 01:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you want to delete it 100% sure, you can tag it with {{db-author}}, but since you're not 100% sure, I wantwon't tag it as such. While I'm at it, delete as not being mentioned in target article. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 20:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
