December 5[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 5, 2009

Template:Talk page header[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was Retarget to Template:Talk header. Non-admin closure. — The Man in Question (in question) 04:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really confusing since {{Talkpageheader}} redirects to {{Talk header}}. Either delete or retarget. I suggest to do the first since we have a lot of redirects to talk header. Even Talkpageheader is a bit useless. Magioladitis (talk) 23:16, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Mediation (biology)[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. –BLACK FALCON (TALK) 23:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this redirect is based on a misunderstanding. The word mediation is widely used in biology for its usual meaning, is doesn't have a special meaning to do with the mediator. (so delete) Narayanese (talk) 16:09, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, which is essentially the same reason I gave for prodding this when it was a stub ([1]). Adrian J. Hunter(talkcontribs) 15:05, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Boxxy[edit]

The result of the discussion was Keep ~ Amory (utc) 00:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in the target list about Boxxy, highly unlikely there will be in future, article deleted at AFD, this redirect is just confusing for people searching for the term "Boxxy". Closedmouth (talk) 13:48, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a sentence at List_of_Internet_phenomena#People. I would rather have one sentence and a redirect here, than have a Google search for Boxxy start with Encyclopedia Dramatica and some stalker blog. --Apoc2400 (talk) 01:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yay, somebody added that after I nominated this. :-/ --Closedmouth (talk) 03:23, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Re-added, actually; it was removed in this edit after having been on this list for since February. As a side note, I'm not sure that edit was much good in general. ÷seresin 05:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Esmeralda Squalor[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete as the nomination was not contested. –BLACK FALCON (TALK) 23:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This simply is not the character's name. It would be like creating the redirect Thomas Bombadil to Tom Bombadil, or Tabitha cat to tabby cat, only with a much less common name that is not even the full form of the name to which it purports to belong. (While "Esmé" may be used by some as a nickname for "Esmeralda", the names are not etymologically connected.) Anyone who has read the books will furthermore be familiar with the fact that Esmé Squalor summarily introduces herself by her full name—Esmé Gigi Geniveve Squalor. Not helping anyone. Perhaps even Speedy Delete per WP:G3. — The Man in Question (gesprec) · (forðung) 02:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
