The result of the discussion was delete all. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those names belong to Mexican telenovelas, without their own articles yet. As it can be seen, those redirects are completely inapropiate: the topics of the telenovelas, words that sound similar, or parents topics too above from the telenovelas to actually be of any use (such as the TV channel or the country). Nobody who seeks those articles would be seeking the targeted articles, nor expect to find the information in them. If the article Star Trek didn't exist yet, would you accept it to be a redirect to Space exploration or Trek? MBelgrano (talk) 23:53, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all -- all were created the other day by the same editor, and, as the nom explains, are pointless, misleading, unhelpful, and should have been left as redlinks to encourage article creation. Also, Spanish does not use the character "ň".  Glenfarclas  (talk) 01:42, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - At best these redirects can be described as bizarre! Many of them are listed at List of telenovelas#Televisa. I should welcome views on redirecting there. That page, does contain some useful imformation for searchers. I am not fully convinced about the benefit of leaving red links as a prompt to article creation. Bridgeplayer (talk) 02:07, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Wouldn't that create a redirecting loop? The reader that seeks a certain telenovela would appear at a list of telenovelas, where the one he seeks is listed... and following that link takes him to the same place. Only a regular Wikipedia editor would understand what's going on, the casual reader would not understand what's working wrong and how to reach the article he seeks. It's better to be sincere: he won't find the article on the telenovela because it's not written yet. He would see the list anyway in the search results (because the name is written in it), but understanding better the situation. In any case, any of this redirects may be speedily kept and removed from here if the redirection is simply replaced by the missing article, or at least a stub of such article. I did so with one, but the redirects are too many and I would surely leave the work half-made before moving my interest to other topics. MBelgrano (talk) 02:54, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - the solution is that you remove the links from the 'List of telenovelas' so that fixes the circular redirect problem. If you have just red links then you don't see anything listed in the search box. If we had nothing to offer I agree with red links but the list has the English name and year of production which I think is informative. Bridgeplayer (talk) 13:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to They Might Be Giants. This is so obviously a mistype; see here, for example, and here, that this could have simply been boldly redirected as wholly uncontroversial. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 22:10, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any reference to this term in the targeted article. I think it would make more sense for it to redirect to They Might Be Giants Beeblebrox (talk) 17:52, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

XNR that could maybe fix the redirect from WikiBlame to Wikipedia:WikiBlame. —DuncanWhat I Do / What I Say 05:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Taelus (Talk) 09:31, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Relisted to allow time to gain consensus, as near the end of the discussion the idea of retargetting it had been played with, which I feel could benefit from further discussion. [The wheel says this is ArbCom's fault by the way. :)] --Taelus (Talk) 09:31, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to WP:WikiBlame, as being more useful, less confusing, and in project space rather than userspace. The blame wheel is vaguely cute, but retargeting to an obvious and legitimate target seems like an absolute no-brainer.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 17:09, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
