May 7[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 7, 2009

SP:RC → Special:RecentChanges[edit]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 02:23, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another redirect to a special page. Precedent seems to indicate that these should be deleted, as none of them work due to technical restraints (i.e., typing in the shortcut dumps you at the actual redirect page instead of the target). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 20:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Redirects to special pages don't work. — Gavia immer (talk) 22:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per Gavia immer. Hi878 (talk) 03:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete but only because it is a strange CNR. The technical issue is a complete non-sequitor. –xeno talk 15:11, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery/Most wanted → Special:Wantedpages[edit]

The result of the discussion was speedily kept - let the Wikiproject do what they want in their internal space. –xeno talk 15:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another redirect to a special page. Precedent seems to indicate that these should be deleted, as none of them work due to technical restraints (i.e., typing in the shortcut dumps you at the actual redirect page instead of the target). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 16:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another redirect to a special page. Precedent seems to indicate that these should be deleted, as none of them work due to technical restraints (i.e., typing in the shortcut dumps you at the actual redirect page instead of the target). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 16:11, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Redirects to special pages don't work. — Gavia immer (talk) 22:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Another candidate for reversion or blanking. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:69.61.221.25 → Special:Contributions/69.61.221.25[edit]

The result of the discussion was Blanked Well duh. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 16:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another redirect to a special page. Precedent seems to indicate that these should be deleted, as none of them work due to technical restraints (i.e., typing in the shortcut dumps you at the actual redirect page instead of the target). I see no reason to redirect a talk page to Special:Contributions anyway. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 16:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unless there's a forthcoming reason to delete this page, which I doubt there will be, it should just be reverted or blanked. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AKAGI → Akagi[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. From Wikipedia:Redirect#What do we use redirects for?: "Articles, including redirects, whose titles are either all initial caps or only first word capitalised are found via "Go" using a case-insensitive match." –Black Falcon (Talk) 21:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

deletion: AKAGI is a capitalization of the main article's name. This redirect serves no functional purpose, but it does take up a slot in the pop-up search box BigbossSNK (talk) 15:43, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I don't see a compelling reason to delete this. It's a redirect from alternate capitalization (in this case, if you had a Minitel terminal that only supported CAPS...) 76.66.202.139 (talk) 03:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The search function already takes care of that concern, 76.66.202.139. If you search for an item and it isn't present exactly as you specified, WP will try CAPS variants. The address bar also redirects you to the search function if the specific title isn't found. Moreover, the current redirect points to the Manga, whereas there is a 7 item disambiguation page. All in all, the search function is more efficient for this.BigbossSNK (talk) 08:05, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Entertainment and Recreation Area → Zamboanga City[edit]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 02:27, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An "Entertainment and Recreation Area" does not only mean "Zamboanga City," where this redirect links to. I cannot think of any other places where it is the most notable for being "Entertainment and Recreation Area" or if there isn't, an article regarding "Entertainment and Recreation Area" is not practical at all. Xeltran (talk) 13:52, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This can be deleted, that's the reason why I had to redirect it to correct page sometime ago. - AnakngAraw (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete as too ambiguous to point to the current target. PaulJones (talk) 21:16, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Chester City Councillors → Chester (district)[edit]

The result of the discussion was Kept. -- JLaTondre (talk) 00:47, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The list of councillors was merged to Chester City Council, but was removed from the article as the council has been abolished. The city council article was merged to Chester (district), but the list was not included so these redirects don't appear to be useful. —Snigbrook 11:01, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep as the target makes it clear that the City Council no longer exists and thus there are no councillors to list. PaulJones (talk) 18:45, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep I retargeted to the subheading describing the last year of activity which makes the above comment even clearer. Agathoclea (talk) 15:38, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eveleigh Moore-Dutton → Chester (district)[edit]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 00:48, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article was redirected, then the target was merged and the relevant content for the redirect was not included in the article it was merged to. —Snigbrook 10:52, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Mosley → Chester (district)[edit]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 00:49, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article was redirected to Chester City Council after a contested PROD. City council article was merged to Chester (district) (and the council was replaced by Cheshire West and Chester council), and the relevant content for the redirect isn't in the target article. —Snigbrook 10:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Portland(OR) AM → Template:Portland OR Radio[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. Wizardman 02:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a no-longer required transitional redirect from the period when AM and FM stations had individual templates. Dravecky (talk) 01:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Tree Friends series (explicit) → Happy Tree Friends[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. Wizardman 02:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leftover from contested page move. Unlikely search term. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 01:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Portland FM → Template:Portland ME Radio[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. Wizardman 02:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a no-longer required transitional redirect from the period when AM and FM stations had individual templates. This one is especially problematic due to the potential for confusion between Portland, Maine, and Portland, Oregon, and this re-directs ambiguous name.
