July 15[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 15, 2010

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Manchester United F.C./Archive1[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. Jafeluv (talk) 07:40, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is no longer in use as all Featured Article Candidate pages use lower case for "archive". Unfortunately, this link is now being displayed unnecessarily at Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Manchester United F.C. The link serves no purpose by hanging around, and only gets in the way, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be deleted. – PeeJay 19:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - confusing redirect with no further utility. Bridgeplayer (talk) 21:47, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – remnant of an old FAC archiving system; is not linked in any significant pages. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Busan Disneyland[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv (talk) 07:41, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in the targets. Neither place has a Disney resort, nor, as far as I can see, any significant Disney feature. In 2005 Disney looked at building an attraction near Seoul but nothing came of it. Delete all as confusing and misleading. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv (talk) 07:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not only not mentioned in the target, but I can't find anything worthwhile in searches - [1][2].

  • Delete both as confusing and misleading. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both, I can't find anything that would explain these either, still less make them useful.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The similar-looking Ri Kaisei seems to be a perfectly valid redirect to Lee Hoesung, apparently based on a romanization of a Japanese version or pronunciation (Lee Hoesung lives or lived in Japan). I'd guess these (and Ri Kaisho for Lee Hoi-chang) are also romanizations of Japanese versions.
    Unfortunately there's no similar Japan connection for this person, so if I'm right about the redirect's purpose it should probably be deleted. Sideways713 (talk) 11:05, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Timbres, France[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. Jafeluv (talk) 07:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't know if there is a town of Timbres in France, but if so, a red link is more useful than a redirect to the acoustic phenomenon of timbre. Pais (talk) 13:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I checked Viamichelin and Google Maps, there's no place called Timbres in France. There is Les Cinq-Timbres and Le Timbre, all very small villages. Markussep Talk 14:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the French Wikipedia has no such place. The creator, who is still around, has been notified so it will be interesting to hear the explanation for creation. Meanwhile, this is confusing. Bridgeplayer (talk) 15:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If it doesn't exist, the redirect is silly; if it does exist, the redirect is still silly and a redlink would be better.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 16:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Boa constructor[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 Re-targeted to List of rapid application development tools#Cross-platform RAD tools. We don't disambiguate for two entries. If someone feels the spelling mistake is a likely enough occurrence, they can add a redirect hat note at the target. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:01, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The target doesn't mention “Boa constructor”. Svick (talk) 13:23, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The redirect was previously discussed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 January 7#Boa Constructor. Svick (talk) 13:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Are you suggesting a DAB page? A hatnote would seem better. Si Trew (talk) 17:29, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I take that back. Can't put a hatnote on a redirect, silly. [User:SimonTrew|Si Trew]] (talk) 17:30, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Multi-stub[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. As the target content no longer exists, there is no point to the redirect. If it ever gets added back, the redirect can be restored. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:55, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reasonably recent new redirect to a part of the stub guidelines which has now been removed. No reasonable target for redirection remains. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 08:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. No appropriate target because no appropriate guideline. -- JHunterJ (talk) 10:59, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I was not aware that multi-stubs had been deprecated. Where can I find the discussion leading up to that consensus? And has a decision been reached what to do with the current multi-stub articles?  --Lambiam 14:16, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - the nominator removed the relevant part of the target with a discussion here. Bridgeplayer (talk) 15:29, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cylindrical equal-area projection[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. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:34, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

deletion of redirection because the target article title is not synonymous with redirected article's title, but rather a subset of it. The articles need to split and go their separate ways. Strebe (talk) 01:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but action - OK, so if I've got this right, 'Cylindrical equal-area projection' is the generic projection and the 'Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection' is a specific case of it. If so, the pressing priority is to fix the 'Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection' article where the lead equates the terms. This should be rewritten, urgently, to clarify the relationships. Once that has been done, it then makes the redirect meaningful. Now there appear to be other pages which may, and I should welcome the nominator's guidance on this, also be specific cases namely Gall–Peters projection and Behrmann projection. This is stated at Tobler hyperelliptical projection. Now if at least one of these is also such a specific case then, in the short term, the redirect can be converted to a disambiguation page with an introductory statement defining a 'cylindrical equal-area projection' and listing the instances. It seems that the nominator's long-term intention is to write an article on the generic term and that's great but, such an article can simply be written over the redirect, without need for prior deletion. Bridgeplayer (talk) 02:41, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You have it all correct. Thanks for the information. Strebe (talk) 02:32, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
