June 3[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 3, 2011

William P. Miller[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The result of the discussion was withdrawn by nominator. No prejudice against a renomination if anyone still wants this deleted or retargetted. Thryduulf (talk) 21:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This should be deleted since none of the other people listed on the dab have the middle initial P., and both incoming links (Henry Aldous Dixon and List of Weber State University people) refer to the same person. It would be better for these to be red links. Nick Number (talk) 20:31, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom and WP:REDLINK. Thryduulf (talk) 20:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep one of the people listed has P, and appears that way on the list. That still doesn't mean that the titles for articles on people don't have others with P middle names that don't appear in their article titles. If you had bothered to check the articles on the disambiguation page, you would have found Bill Miller (athlete), whose full name is "William Preston Miller". And Bill Miller (left-handed pitcher) whose full name is "William Paul Miller". So there are indeed, three people by that name on the dsiambiguation page. 184.144.168.112 (talk) 04:55, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I will concede that I didn't look at every single entry on the list, but the person listed as William P. Miller is the same Weber State University one referred to in the links above. You'll note he doesn't have his own blue link. Nick Number (talk) 05:07, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When and article is written about him it can link back to the disambiguation page. The situation will be exactly the same as having Bill Miller (American football) (William Joseph Miller) and William J. Miller (William Jennings Miller), which causes no unnecessary confusion. Thryduulf (talk) 08:27, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And if you looked up a sports compedium which could easily list the names of these two sportsmen as "Miller, William P.", and enter it on Wikipedia, if they have articles, they should be searchable by their real names. 184.144.168.112 (talk) 09:23, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, since you feel so strongly about it, I've changed the incoming links to William P. Miller (college president) and removed the rfd tag. Nick Number (talk) 19:04, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cry wolf[edit]

The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to Cry Wolf. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:57, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't go to only one of several articles. However, I'm not sure if this should be redirected to "Cry Wolf" or if actually Cry Wolf should be moved to its properly capitalized version, so I'm listing it here. The Evil IP address (talk) 18:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • As all the entries (other than the Wiktionary link) on the Cry Wolf dab page have "Wolf" capitalised in their article names I think the present location of the dab is correct. So my preference is for a retarget to Cry Wolf and tag with {{R from other capitalisation}}. I do support moving "Cry Wolf" to "Cry wolf", but only as a second choice and so as not to get in the way of any consensus for it. The current target is definitely wrong.

Misspelling; unlikely search term -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 02:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Macao gets between 3 and 5 thousand hits a month, and the main article's first sentence is "Macau [...] also spelled Macao...". So it is a likely search term. Verified by just shy of 51,000 Google web hits and 188 Google books hits for the exact phrase.[1][2] Thryduulf (talk) 03:16, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the question is not about the spelling variant of Macau used, but the true misspelling: "Internatioanl". —HXL's Roundtable and Record 04:31, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The real typo here is "Internatioanl", and it is quite easy to mix two of the letters up. —HXL's Roundtable and Record 04:31, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Verdure[edit]

The result of the discussion was keep as a disambiguation page. Jafeluv (talk) 12:39, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this redirect. As far as I know, Verdure had nothing to do with Health.

  • According to wikt:verdure it means either "a condition of health or vigour", or "The greenness of lush or growing vegetation". The one incomming link from articlespace, at Östersund#Cityscape (which I've just removed), appears to be using it in the latter sense's extended meaning of "vegetation that is green and lush". I'd suggest retarget to La Verdure River with a hatnote pointing to Wiktionary. Thryduulf (talk) 13:22, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I recommend turning the page into a disambiguation page listing Health, La Verdure River, and Vegetation. In any case, the page should not be deleted. Neelix (talk) 23:04, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
