December 10[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 10, 2011

Marshall, Texas: Marshall, Texas[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. It does not make sense to move a redirect. Ruslik_Zero 13:54, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The city of Marshall, Texas has its own page. This re-direct is a sleight of hand and confusing. Moyers lived there as a youth. Editors pulling this up on a search, or searching links in the edit box, are looking for the city, not for Moyers. Maile66 (talk) 21:55, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: the redirect is about the documentary by Bill Moyers (see Harrison County Historical Museum for more information). — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 23:28, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good catch. But since it was not clear to me until you posted this, maybe the redirect could be moved to something like "Marshall Texas:Marshall, Texas (documentary)". Maile66 (talk) 01:01, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Move? Why? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:29, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • To make it clear that it's a documentary title, rather than a redirect for the actual city of Marshall, Texas. Maile66 (talk) 16:55, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • The concept of moving redirects doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, I see no problem with this one. I just don't see a use case for the name "Marshall, Texas: Marshall, Texas" apart from the documentary. Why would someone type the name of the city with a state twice? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 17:06, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-choice[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 per nom. Ruslik_Zero 13:50, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Opposition to the legalization of abortion, per Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2011_November_29#Pro-Death, where consensus seemed to be that it doesn't matter if a term is used primarily in partisan (opposition) literature. ("Anti-choice" is used often in various academic and otherwise reliable sources, unlike the other redirects discussed in that listing.) –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 18:45, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget per nom. To someone unfamiliar with the jargon of the abortion debate, "anti-choice" would seem to be the logical opposite of "pro-choice", so redirecting to that page makes sense.--Fyre2387 (talkcontribs) 20:07, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
