The result of the discussion was Delete all. Ruslik_Zero 18:45, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Talk about WP:CRYSTAL, is it really necessary to create such pages that far out -- 17 to 29 years -- in advance? All they do is attract vandals.[1] See also this related RFD discussion back in 2007. Zzyzx11 (talk) 20:45, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: vandalism is a separate issue, but these pages may accumulate the probably useful information in the future. At the same time, the proposed target article doesn't has no info on these dates and is not the right place to hold such data. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:47, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all - notable subjects that will merit articles in due course. Redirects of notable topics inhibit article creation and there is nothing related to the precise elections at the target. With respect to the above comment, a redirect will not "accumulate the probably useful information in the future". Better to keep red until there is something worthwhile to say at standalone pages. Bridgeplayer (talk) 22:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all-as above the links will occur in due course, for example, are there any candidates nominated for 2040 yet? All are extreme and violate WP:CRYSTAL Jab843 (talk)
They would have violated WP:CRYSTAL if they were articles. But they are redirects and as such out of the named policy's scope. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 01:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Richard A. Batey[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. bibliomaniac15 08:14, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page for non-notable person redirected to a list where the creator had added the person Mabeenot (talk) 19:45, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Batey is a well known and respected scholar in New Testament studies, having authored numerous books (see http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Richard+A.+Batey&x=0&y=0 ) including Jesus and the Forgotten City : New Light on Sepphoris and the Urban World of Jesus (2000). Heretofore the use of a redirect was an acceptable compromise between an article and no mention whatever. Although concerns over congestion in Wikipedia are appreciated, the Batey redirect is a case where well enough would be best left alone. Rammer (talk) 20:59, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, until he owes his respect and public awareness (who is he, BTW?) solely to his connection to Rhodes College and would be disrespected and unknown otherwise. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:52, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - if notable then an article should be written first. If not, he should not be listed as a 'notable person' in the college article. Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget. DrKiernan (talk) 20:05, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 16:30, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appears from the target article that this man was convicted of manslaughter, not murder (found while tidying dab page at Michael Ferguson) PamD 10:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete-While there are some hits here, I think the BLP issues outweigh the value of the redirect.--Fyre2387 (talkcontribs) 14:47, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as misleading. The nominator has nicely added a replacement link to Michael Ferguson so the text can still be found. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as it is misleading as to who it is. Jab843 (talk)

The result of the discussion was speedy closed - now an article so out of scope of RFD. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, target article doesn't even mention Bethune. Mewulwe (talk) 09:40, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete per WP:RED. Ruslik_Zero 18:42, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, the term logical processor has nothing to do with how it is implemented (Hyper-threading is one way one can get more than the actual physical core count) Jasper Deng (talk) 03:12, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete logical processors can be a software construct for code emulation. 65.94.77.11 (talk) 03:43, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget somewhere. This gets around 40-50 hits per month and we should point users somewhere useful, but I don't understand the topic enough to work out where that logical place is. Thryduulf (talk) 10:49, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment wouldn't that be building a disambiguation page then? 65.94.77.11 (talk) 07:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • If that is the best solution, then go for it. Thryduulf (talk) 13:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep until properly populated. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - per WP:RED. This is a notable subject on which we really should have a page. Redirecting to a specific application will confuse searchers and inhibit article creation. Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:29, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
