Prince Riam Shammaa Al-Zengi

The result of the discussion was no consensus to do anything in particular here. ~ mazca ^talk 13:34, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

• Prince Riam Shammaa Al-Zengi → Prince Akram Shammaa

This is an effective circular re-direct. Riam is claimed to be the successor of Akram and so this redirect is not appropriate. Teahot (talk) 18:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I think you might be correct, we don't have information about the successor Andibernard (talk) 19:19, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

• Note that the target, Prince Akram Shammaa, is currently listed at AfD, with a discussion of both notability and the appropriateness of "Prince" in the article title. -- Thinking of England (talk) 02:17, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Biographies of living persons

The result of the discussion was delete. Wizardman 16:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

• Biographies of living persons → Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons

Cross namespace; articles should be about their subjects, not a redirect to a Wikipedia policies or guidelines. — Σxplicit 17:59, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

• Retarget to Biography.--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 12:01, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
• Delete, inappropriate cross-namespace redirect, and it's unlikely someone would search for this while looking for an encyclopedia article. ~ mazca ^talk 13:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Gary Harrison

The result of the discussion was no consensus ~ mazca ^talk 17:36, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

• Gary Harrison → All About the Mormons?

Not mentioned in target. No idea what this is about. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 17:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Gary Harrison is one of the main characters of that episode. He used to have an entry on this minor character list, but I removed him since he was only in one episode and created this redirect. 96T (talk) 20:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

• Comment. While target does not explicitly contain the phrase "Gary Harrison", it does extensively discuss the Harrison family and their son Gary. -- Thinking of England (talk) 01:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Roger_Guesnerie

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

• Roger Guesnerie → fr:Roger_Guesnerie

We don't need to be a repository at the English WP to redirects to every article that exists on every other language's wikipedia, no more than having multiple non-English translations for every English language word here too. A bad precedent to start. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 16:19, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Fugee

The result of the discussion was retarget to Fugees. ~ mazca ^talk 17:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

• Fugee → Refugee

Either delete or re-target to The Fugees. Term is not mentioned in the current target page and does not seem to be a reasonable search term. An editor tried to add The Fugees as a new redirect target by adding it to the end of the page text, which of course didn't actually accomplish anything, but seems like a potentially reasonable alternative worth discussing. R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

• Comment the Fugees say that their name is from a slang term for refugee, "fugee" 76.66.192.64 (talk) 06:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
• Redirect to The Fugees, to me that seems logical. JuJube (talk) 16:06, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
