Delete – Redirect created by a move that was quickly reverted. It is an implausible search term. McLerristarr | Mclay1 16:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep—while this isn't the most likely search term (how many people will type in the ™?), it appears harmless to me. Redirects are cheap. –Grondemar 16:53, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Unlikely search item and a bad precedent. — Anomalocaris (talk) 05:09, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete. These redirects were created by a now banned user to link to sections of the main page. There are no incoming links. I fail to see how they would ever be useful. And the whole "MP:" pseudo-namespace (see here) just seems completely unnecessary and over complicates things. Mhiji (talk) 08:44, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete—while these are technically not cross-namespace redirects, I can't see how they would ever be useful. –Grondemar 23:30, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Delete.  (per œ™) I wouldn't be surprised if the first time these were added to the Main page as a {{shortcut}} (if ever), they were immediately rm'd because they would look a bit tacky. Toss 'em.
 —  Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  03:26, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
PS. Pulled "delete" because some editors find these useful; however, I wouldn't want them cluttering up the Main page.
 —  Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  14:31, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Well, *I* at least think they're useful pseudo-namespace shortcuts and use them occasionally. -- œ™ 10:48, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Then I am inclined to pull my Delete per here, reason #2, and here. Since as I noted above, they would probably look a bit tacky on the Mainpage, and since others cannot see any useful purpose, could you say a little more about how you use them?
 —  Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  17:59, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, they have their uses in certain helpdesk situations. I've used MP:OTD before to point users to that specific section on the main page, and to quickly link to it. I can't say I've used the others though. That's not to say a situation won't arise where I might want to point a user to another specific section on the mainpage, like Today's featured picture (MP:TFP) -- Ϫ 16:11, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, œ™.  —  Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  00:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: They are evidently used by at least a few people, harm nothing, and the fact that the user who created them was eventually banned for other reasons has nothing to do with anything (c.f. Fallacy ad hominem). — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 19:45, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I realise it's irrelevant. It's just a number of people have complained before that I haven't informed creators of deletion discussions, so was just explaining why I hadn't on this occasion... Just to make clear, I wasn't citing that as a reason to delete. Sorry for any confusion. Mhiji (talk) 20:23, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - I see no criteria to delete them, but anybody can click on the puzzle globe logo to go to the main page. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:13, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Underneath the Stars[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 disambiguation page. Non-admin closure. Erpert (let's talk about it) 18:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article was most recently listed at AfD last month. I was neutral on the discussion, but it resulted in a redirect to Underneath the Stars (album). The problem with that is that that article is about an album by Kate Rusby, and the original article was about a song by Mariah Carey (I would include a diff but for some reason it isn't publicly viewable anymore; was it deleted and then recreated?). If anything, the redirect should be retargeted to Daydream (Mariah Carey album). Erpert (let's talk about it) 08:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Boldly replaced with a disambiguation. Feel free to revert if you aren't happy with my solution. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:38, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace redirects. "H:" shortcuts which links to the "Wikipedia" namespace rather than "Help:". Though little used "H:" redirects are normally to the "Help:" namespace. I'm proposing delete. Mhiji (talk) 07:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete—unneeded cross-namespace redirect. Is it so much harder to type the "elp"? –Grondemar 23:33, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The nature of help pages becoming guidelines and vice versa means there are a fair few cross namespace redirects, in the case of these two there doesn't seem to be internal references from internal pages, so I can't see a problem with removing them.

Delete. Unused, unnecessary cross-namespace redirect. Also per the outcome of this discussion, Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2010_December_6#T:, and the comments there. Mhiji (talk) 07:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Meh. -- œ™ 10:52, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Really unnecessary redirect. If anyone wants to use Template:Ear, they can just put {{ear}} on the page, they don't have to put {{[[Template::T:Ear|:T:Ear]]}}. And if anyone wants to link to the template, it's easier to just to {{tl|ear}}

Transport for Round Maple[edit]

The result of the discussion was Speedy delete per R3. Mhiji (talk) 17:18, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Created at the same time as Transport in Round Maple which was deleted as a result of WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 December 9#Transport in Round Maple. Round Maple is a barely notable collection of houses (pop 20) on a country lane. It has no public transport. Redirects may be cheap but if we create a "Transport for ......." redirect for every group of dwellings in England (let alone the rest of the UK or world) it would rapidly become unmanageable. Nancy talk 06:32, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Never used. Mhiji (talk) 14:53, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - oxymoron of a title which would set an unhelpful precedent if allowed to remain. The creator of this page has made over 40 redirects to this highly obscure settlement. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 16:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep totally harmless, not missleading, why delete. Leads to relivent information. Crouch, Swale talk to me My contribs 22:09, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The relevant info being that there is no public transport or numbered road in the hamlet! Why have redirects for things that don't exist? Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 23:37, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recently created as an article, but redirected to projectspace to get rid of it. Unnecessary cross-namespace redirect. Edited to add: And at another user's suggestion, I've added Wiki-Hopping (which was also redirected to eliminate an unnecessary article) and Wikiracing.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 02:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all irrespective of MfD closing on the target page as unnecessary cross-namespace redirects. –Grondemar 23:39, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Ugly x-namespace redirects. -- œ™ 10:45, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
