The belief that a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity[edit]

Delete. Unlikely redirect. Mikaey, Devil's advocate 07:34, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I suggest adding the following to this WP:RFD also.
The belief that a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master
The belief that a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh
The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever
The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father

"Live Forever" Ummm, what does a jewish zombie have to do with christianity anyway? O ok now that i took a moment to think on that, yeah that is kind of a rather divisive group of pages at best. Wikipedia is not the place to mock religion for your own shits and giggles. We see things they'll never see, and this group of redirects are some of them. This is what the "hide from public consumption" option is made for. Do it. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 12:45, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank Goodness[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 keep. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:06, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The target page is a musical, Wicked, which apparently has one act in it called Thank Goodness.. GeorgeLouis (talk) 05:40, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - no valid deletion reason has been given in the nomination. This is a long-standing redirect, that was formerly a sub-stub, and the subject is covered in the target. No other clear use for the term though a disambiguation page can be created at a pinch, which would allow a Wiktionary infobox to be added. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Led Zeppelin Biography[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 keep / no consensus. Page was not initially created as a redirect; it has a history revealing a merge into the main article. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:58, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unnecessary redirect and redundant search term. Led Zeppelin article is a biography, and comes up first search results anyway. Rapastone (talk) 02:46, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Pretty much per Rapastone. Otherwise we should have redirects for everything -- "George Washington Biography" and so forth. Let's not go there. Herostratus (talk) 03:54, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this is a former article that was redirected. No grounds per WP:RFD#DELETE for deletion. In most months there are a number of hits so it is used. This is a long-standing redirect and deletion might well break links in external sites; this is why we need a good reason to delete such established redirects. Harmless, so leave it be. Bridgeplayer (talk) 15:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nothing links externally to this page. I've checked. Rapastone (talk) 15:57, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Nothing links internally but unless you visit all the mirrors, you can't be sure whether external sites do not use this as a link. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • There are no external links to this page. Rapastone (talk) 23:46, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
          • It is not a question of external links to this page its a question of external sites that use this subject as an internal link. Please list those mirrors that you have downloaded and whose links you have followed. Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
            • That's not how it works. You are making the claim there are links to this page. The onus is on you to prove that there are mirrors that are linking to this page. Always assume good faith - Please play the ball and not the man. Rapastone (talk) 00:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
              • No, let me state it again, it is not a question of external sites 'linking to' it is a question of external sites 'linking within'. For someone with minimal contributions I am impressed with your grasp of policy. I note that your first substantive contribution includes a detailed edit summary. This both most unusual and laudable. Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:58, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • If this is 'kept', it will set a dangerous precedent for editors adding eg, 'Elvis Presley Biography', 'Adolf Hitler Biography' etc. to redirections. Totally unnecessary. I should also add, that another ground for deletion is 'redirect might cause confusion', which such a redirect like the one in question may. Rapastone (talk) 06:15, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, but "if we keep this, '000s of others will be created" is never a good argument. We are dealing with this one not theoretical, and unlikely, future creations. In any case, even if they are created they will be recent creations and different considerations apply. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:25, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • And had Led Zeppelin Biography been created only a few hours ago, it would, by your own admission, be deleted. How long is a piece of string? Rules should apply equally. It's an unnecessary and pointless redirect then, as it is now. Rapastone (talk) 00:56, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Nobody cares[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 delete. — ξxplicit 00:12, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:15, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I guess this is what passes for humour in some quarters. Anyway, delete as confusing. Bridgeplayer (talk) 01:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It would be OK to keep it and edit it to point to Wikipedia:Don't-give-a-fuckism, maybe. But deleting it would be OK too. Nut it absolutely shouldn't be kept with its current value of pointing to WP:N. Herostratus (talk) 03:52, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Sadly this vote is proof of the fallacy of the statement but i do agree what it presently redirects to is most odd. But then again, it is wikipedia:nobody cares that a deletion is really nothing more than hide from public consumption and this can be used, much like i did here in this sentence. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 12:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Change - as per Deliriousandlost to a redirect to Wikipedia:Don't-give-a-fuckism. Codf1977 (talk) 13:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete per WP:CSD G3. Pure vandalism that is also misleading and confusing. Uncle Dick (talk) 00:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - not widely used, not helpful, and not relevant to the target page. Robofish (talk) 22:11, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
