The result of the discussion was retargeted - non-controversial retargeting. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 18:01, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Change to redirect to Boo Boo, which is a disambiguation page. Only 1% of ghits for "Boo-Boo" are for the bear. Matchups 17:49, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was  Relisted at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 August 23. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:31, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are some derogatory nicknames that have acquired a lasting degree of significance and noteworthiness such that a redirect is appropriate (e.g. milk snatcher), and there are those for which redirects are plain old WP:BLP violations. I invite discussion about "Piers Moron" because I suspect it falls into the latter category. Skomorokh 16:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - this is mentioned in the target and, as such, is a valid search term. Also, it is used as a search term several times each month. This nickname is routinely used by Ian Hislop both in Private Eye and on national TV. It is recorded in reliable sources.[1][2][3]. Finally, redirects are value-free - see WP:RNEUTRAL. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Yes, redirects are value-free, but they still must observe WP:BLP. Matchups 17:50, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aqua Buddha[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 Deleted per G10, non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 21:34, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The target article doesn't mention 'Aqua Buddha' (most of the time). --Pjacobi (talk) 13:23, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - this was created as a collateral to an edit war that is going on at the target. It appears to be a press-created idol though it is getting extensive press coverage, see here, for example. At present it is confusing since it isn't mentioned at the target. If 'Aqua Buddha' becomes established in the target then we can reconsider. Bridgeplayer (talk) 15:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - it's not necessary for a redirect to be notable or neutral point-of-view. Send the user to the page that best described what they typed in. - Richard Cavell (talk) 07:30, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I agree with your sentiments, in principle, but the problem is that it doesn't describe what they typed in. Anyone searching on this term would be left scratching their heads as to why they were taken to the target. That is a very good reason to delete. As I state above, if the content comes back and stays in then the redirect can follow. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:48, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Football in Solomon Islands[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 speedily deleted as WP:CSD G6 by Fastily. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Obsolete redirect from move in 2008, all pages have been subsequently redirected (Housekeeping). EmanWilm (talk) 03:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Rush trivia[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 Move, delete resulting redirect - this page aparently has some of the history of Rush (band), so it can't be deleted. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:27, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely search term. No one's going to type in "_____ trivia" especially given our hard stance against trivia. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:08, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to a sub-page of Talk:Rush (band) and delete the resulting redirect. Content has been merged so deletion is right off the agenda for GFDL reasons. However, as a redirect it is ambiguous and hence confusing. This seems the best way to preserve the history. Bridgeplayer (talk) 02:18, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move and delete redirect per Bridgeplayer. How do we know that people who are typing in "Rush Trivia" aren't looking for Rush Limbaugh-related trivia? The redirect is ambiguous and we don't need to have it. Stonemason89 (talk) 01:55, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Solitaire du Figaro[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 speedily closed - this has now been converted to an article and is therefore out of scope of RFD. Good work! NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:56, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect should be deleted. Jean Le Cam is only one former winner of the sailing event "La Solitaire du Figaro". Several other winners are present on Wikipedia such as Michel Desjoyeaux e.g.. Badzil (talk) 05:29, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I was going to suggest converting to DAB with those names until an article could be made for the event itself, but I see the French article is relatively short, so I'll translate that now, which should resolve the issue. Si Trew (talk) 12:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep (or whatever) as I've converted it into an article translated from the French. The redirect target Jean Le Cam is linked from it as one of the competitors. Si Trew (talk) 14:27, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Linguist[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 speedily closed as wrong forum - we can't do page moves here; if this action requires admin intervention then this should be taken to WP:RM. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:44, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect should be deleted, and the target article should be moved in its place. Robert Weemeyer (talk) 07:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Can't you just do a move over redirect? I don't think that requires discussion and I think anyone can do that can't they? I would do it myself but now it's at RfD I don't know if that's good form. Si Trew (talk) 14:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
