August 24[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 24, 2010

Racism against whites[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 retarget to Racism. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:22, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inherently POV redirect, and arguably inaccurate. ('Reverse discrimination' is not generally considered to be racism, nor is it necessarily at the expense of white people.) I would suggest retargeting to Hate crimes against white people, but that article itself was recently turned into a redirect following this AFD. I don't think there's any suitable target for this.

Isobutyl cyanoacrylate[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 converted to an article, so out of scope of RFD. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:24, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two different chemicals, even though they are isomers. The former has only a minor mention in the latter's article. Delete or stubify Ephemeronium (talk) 18:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I have notified the creator. It is always good practice for the creator to be invited to justify their redirect. Bridgeplayer (talk) 18:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I am indeed the redirector. Although I have some slight background in chemistry (as a dentist), and recognize that isobutyl suggests that the R group attaches to the middle carbon of the butyl (rather than a terminal carbon, as in regular butyl), I redirected because for medical usage, there is either confusion or overlap of the use of these two substances. I found an article discussing flap closing of oral incisions using isobutyl cyanoacrylate, and sensed that even in the medical literature, the two terms were being used interchangeably because the remarkably minor difference between butyl and isobutyl cyanoacylate in terms of clinical significance is so little that it has probably not been studied. Thus, numerous articles that are actually serving as novel evidence for the efficacy of sutureless incision closure or confirmation studies to the same effect ignore the difference between the two and some studies use one and some another -- in a sense, the difference is ignored by clinical researchers. I just wasn't thinking when I made this redirect that the two are different chemicals -- it just completely slipped my mind as I focused on clinical use as a glue-type suture, and kudos to Ephemeronium for catching me out on it. I will not block the proceedings of this challenge, as I it's objective that the redirect cannot be maintained. But I will undo it and put in a word about the two chemical glues being used for pretty much the same thing. All the best! DRosenbach (Talk | Contribs) 23:08, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spinnin' Records[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 replaced with existing article. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion. Spinnin' Records is a Dutch record label, which is not directly related to this artist. Mathonius (talk) 07:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Matrixx[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. It's unlikely that anyone would use this spelling for either of the redirects suggested. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:19, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion. The Matrixx is a Dutch nightclub and Samson used to work there. This redirect is nonsensical, because there are a lot of other artists (or DJs) who played at this club. Mathonius (talk) 07:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - if we were to retarget to close spellings we also have Matrixx as a candidate with at least as strong a claim. Bridgeplayer (talk) 22:09, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
