Stereotypes of Africans → Stereotypes of African Americans[edit]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Lenticel (talk) 03:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A ridiculously americocentric redirect. Africans do exist, and are subject to stereotyping, outside America. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:59, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, unless anyone actually wishes to write the article suggested by the title. Terraxos (talk) 21:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as misleading and potentially confusing (some American political activists use "African" as a synonym for "African American", relying upon context for the listener/reader to ascertain the difference). 147.70.242.54 (talk) 21:39, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A lex → Alex (Street Fighter)[edit]

The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to Alex. -- JLaTondre (talk) 12:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should this redir be retargaeted to List of characters in the Street Fighter series#Alex or retargeted to Alex? David Pro (talk) 12:58, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Alex - there are any number of people someone could be searching for if they typed this, assuming it's the Street Fighter character seems unreasonable. Terraxos (talk) 21:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment shouldn't it be nom for deletion? It looks like the article name is A lex ! So should we start to make page re-directs for A dam, A my, A rnold, ... Z bra, Z oo? --RCEberwein | Talk 19:38, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually it is called Redirects for discussion. This one we can retarget to Alex mentioning the album A-Lex there. That doesn't mean that we encourage the creation of other such redirects, but once they are there it is often not worth deleting them.--Tikiwont (talk) 10:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating for deletion as unused cross-namespace redirect. Stifle (talk) 09:56, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sozza → Estivation[edit]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Lenticel (talk) 03:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect should be deleted. No reliable source uses the word "sozza" to mean estivation. As far as I can tell, the original article (later turned to a redirect) was a joke. It was created by Teddtucker (talk · contribs), who did nothing else but create the joke(?) article. Eubulides (talk) 06:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for now. -- MISTER ALCOHOL T C 20:50, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
    • Can you please explain why this should be kept? —dgiestc 07:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - too many uses for "sozza" or "Sozza" listed in a google search to be worthwhile (not one reflecting anything to do with aestivation) - I've seen it used as the name of an Italian village, a surname, a given name, the name of a French actress (Julie Sozza-Barbier), and the feminine form of sozzo (a one-word Wikidictionary entry: "filthy"). 147.70.242.54 (talk) 01:08, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I'd say WP:CSD#G3 except that a well-meaning user made it a redirect. This edit "However, animal physiologist Kathrin Dausmann of Philipps University of Marburg, Germany and coworkers present evidence in the 24 June 2004 edition of Nature that the davey mamal hibernates in a small cricket hollow for seven months of the year." shows the original editor was just vandalizing. —dgiestc 07:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, unless anyone can show that this term is actually used for this meaning (which I doubt). Terraxos (talk) 21:25, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ինչպես խմբագրել էջը → Demos Shakarian[edit]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Lenticel (talk) 03:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect should be removed because it is irrelevant and it prevents others from editing ALL articles that are written in Armenian language, which is a huge problem. Sndik16 (talk) 01:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D4%BB%D5%B6%D5%B9%D5%BA%D5%A5%D5%BD_%D5%AD%D5%B4%D5%A2%D5%A1%D5%A3%D6%80%D5%A5%D5%AC_%D5%A7%D5%BB%D5%A8

Sorry, I do not know how to use the Wiki very well to report this problem. So I attached the link above to the comment, so you will see what is going on.

  • Can you please clarify how it "prevents others from editing ALL articles that are written in Armenian language"? Stifle (talk) 09:58, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the only Web pages that have both "Ինչպես խմբագրել էջը" and "Demos Shakarian", according to Google search - without the language filter - are all Wiki pages... all 13 of them. If the former is the transcription of the latter, it should be incorporated into the article in the same fashion as transliterations of Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and Russion (for example). But the search results imply that it is not; thus this should be quickly deleted as an improbable typo. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 01:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Okay, I am responding on how this problem prevents others from editing the articles that are written in Armenian language. Since many do not speak Armenian, I will explain what that link means by showing an example in English. Look at this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Action_Resource_Centre

This is an incomplete article in English about London Action Resource Centre. If you want to expand it, you can click on the bottom of the page on the link ""expanding it""========"""This London-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.""""" Well the link"Ինչպես խմբագրել էջը" is the same expanding it link, but in Armenian. However, when you click on it, you are redirected to some dude's website. Hence, you cannot expand that article!

So, Mister Stifle, Thank you for showing concern. Maybe some other links allow the Wikipedia users to change articles in Armenian, like for example the link on the top of the article " Edit" However, it is an important link, and it should go to a place where one can expand it and not to some dude's page, it seems that they are just fishing for propaganda. That is why this redirect should be deleted and correct webpage with instructions on expanding an article should be placed instead.

  • Apologies if I'm being dense, but couldn't people just click the Edit button at the top of the article instead? Stifle (talk) 16:48, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Of course they can. But it does not justify having a broken link there . It is an important link . You read an article, get till the and then want to change it and you see on the bottom the complete the article link . It should work. It must. Maybe someone should change the same link in English websites, and I will see how people react. I hope that someone who knows how to fix the problem will do it.

- I read the :When should we delete a redirect?: article, and this is the reason why: The redirect makes no sense, like Google to love... but it is even worse,, like Google to I am the greatest ever.

  • Delete because this redirect does not appear to resemble the target's name in Armenian. The article in Armenian about Demos Shakarian is hy:Դեմոս Շաքարյան. I can't read one word of Armenian, but I can tell that the name of this redirect and Դեմոս Շաքարյան don't look anything alike. Are there any Armenian-speaking editors here who can tell us what "Ինչպես խմբագրել էջը" means? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as bad title (I trust the earlier comment that it means something like "expanding it"), and as originally a bad copy-and-paste of Armenian wikipdia article where there is already an English wiki article in English, so no need to keep history. But it should not be used for any purpose in en.wikipedia--81.129.123.10 (talk) 22:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is Armenic for something like "Edit this" or "Expand this", and should not redirect to this article. My Armenic is not very good, but after some checking around this redirect clearly isn't correct. --Eivind (t) 17:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
