July 2[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 2, 2009

Rsnail[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete.--Aervanath (talk) 11:22, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rsnail → Club Penguin

Delete. Apparently Rsnail is the username of an important admin in Club Penguin. This may have been mentioned in the past but it no longer is, the article has matured. Mango juice^talk 14:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not mentioned in target page, probably an unlikely search term. Robofish (talk) 00:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Elisabeth II of Bohemia[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete all.--Aervanath (talk) 11:20, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Implausible redirect. Not a ruling monarch, so should not have a numeral. No incoming links from article space. DrKay (talk) 08:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about retargetting to the dab page Elisabeth of Bohemia? As the redirect is the result of a move, somebody apparently once thought there was a "Elizabeth II of Bohemia". Kusma (talk) 15:38, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They were wrong. There isn't one[1][2]. DrKay (talk) 07:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Thanks. Delete, confusing. Kusma (talk) 08:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

retarget to either Elisabeth of Bohemia, Princess Palatine who, if I understand things correctly, is daughter of Elizabeth of Bohemia (note the slightly different spelling) and thus may be incorrectly thought by some to be Elisabeth II or as previously suggested retarget to the Elisabeth of Bohemia dab page and let the user decide who they actually meant.

The redirect should be deleted, as it amounts to original research and is generally confusing because people tend to think that there have been two monarchs of Bohemia named Elisabeth, although there were none. Elisabeth I of Bohemia, Anna I of Bohemia, and Świętosława I of Bohemia also need to be deleted. They were created by someone who didn't understand the difference between queen regnant and queen consort; keeping those redirects would be as confusing as having Elizabeth I of the United Kingdom redirect to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Not to mention that no serious scholar refers to any of those women by those invented names. The redirect led three people on this page alone to believe that Bohemia had a queen regnant named Elisabeth II. Wikipedia should always avoid ill-informing its readers.

I've provided google scholar searches above. There are NO scholarly references at all. You are correct that this is Original Research (not to say complete invention). DrKay (talk) 09:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can Elisabeth I of Bohemia, Anna I of Bohemia, and Świętosława I of Bohemia be deleted together with Elisabeth II of Bohemia or do we need seperate entries for all four identical cases? Surtsicna (talk) 20:46, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've speedy-deleted that last one as you were the only author after it was turned into a redirect, and Anna because the only edits not by you were by bots. DrKay (talk) 13:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ride (Usher song)[edit]

The result of the discussion was Deleted as CSD R3 by Orangemike. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:33, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ride (Usher song) → Confessions (Usher album)

This page was created as a redirect to Confessions (Usher album)#Track listing. The song, "Ride", isn't part of the track listing or any bonus tracks. In fact, it's not mentioned in the article at all—or any other albums by Usher. The chances of someone searching for this term is pretty much zero and serves no purpose as a redirect — Σ xplicit 04:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the redirect serves no purpose and was created by a confused user, at best. JBsupreme (talk) 15:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy-delete WP:CSD#R3 (which might still apply even if it were a song there). DMacks (talk) 00:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
