The result of the discussion was Kept. There is a hatnote at the target directing people to Rock for other uses. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:13, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If the word "Rock" is so ambiguous that it's a disambiguation then without any particularly compelling reason I don't see why the plural is considered any less ambiguous. In fact while this redirect is listed as a redirect from a plural, it isn't as "Rock" and "Rocks" takes you different places. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 19:46, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rock (geology) and Rock music are the most important topics for "Rock" as both are vital articles. Although "Rocks" is also ambiguous, it only refers to one vital topic and several that are less important. Peter E. James (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget, although the talk page would be a better place to discuss this if you didn't think that being WP:BOLD was appropriate. Thryduulf (talk) 20:09, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose What else would you want when searching for 'rocks' besides the rock (geology)? We can put a {for} tophat thing.--Metallurgist (talk) 04:23, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was all four speedy-deleted as long-overlooked but patent vandalism. The edit history makes clear that this was a pattern of vandalism by a single anonymous user. Rossami (talk) 18:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion. Implausible redirect. No obvious reason to redirect from one person to another. Rob Sinden (talk) 10:13, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A cursory google search suggests that they are two different people who have both starred in the same film on at least one occasion and have been seen at at least one party together. I can find no suggestion of why Ms Minor's name should be redirected to the article about Jack Napier. Thryduulf (talk) 11:17, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete - It was created by a block evasion account. - J Greb (talk) 03:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
