The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 11:45, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused redirect containing typo. Enok (talk) 19:33, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – why does this even exist? —danhash (talk) 20:18, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Redirect is OK per the guideline (as both a more specific form of name and typo), and has gotten six hits in the last month. Redirects are cheap, no need to delete. Ajraddatz (Talk) 22:05, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Many hits are mine. :P --Enok (talk) 05:37, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:REDIRECT is a guideline, not a policy. The distinction is perhaps a bit pedantic (and doesn't make Ajraddatz' point any less valid), but important nonetheless. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:07, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm still pretty new to this, thanks for the correction. Regardless of the technical distinction, that guideline seems to be the main thing that page we have on this topic, and as such it makes sense that it be referenced in a discussion like this. Ajraddatz (Talk) 13:47, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - Redirects are cheap. That said, six hits a month seems to be about the default noise level that comes from misconfirgured bots and web scrapers. It's pretty hard to find a page that does not have at least a few hits a months. I don't think anybody is using this, or is helped by it. Having it show in the autofill of the search box is potentially annoying enough to outweigh any possible benefit that this redirect might bring. —mako๛ 16:14, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It's not linked to from article space. Also contains a typo besides the capitalization issue. One seldom speaks of the "economy" of a company/organization either. With all that it qualifies for {{db-r3}}. I have created Finances of Wikimedia Foundation and redirected it to the proper section. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 15:14, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was redirect deleted by Plastikspork, per this discussion. NAC Ajraddatz (Talk) 14:59, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused redirect to another template which is unused and which seems to be about a page (Browzar) which does not exist. —danhash (talk) 18:25, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, unused redirect with no hits in the last month. Ajraddatz (Talk) 22:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - The arguments for keeping unused redirects in the template namespace is exceedingly weak in general. Little harm here, but very very little gain. —mako๛ 16:15, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was redirect speedy deleted by Fastily (reason: G6: Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup). NAC Ajraddatz (Talk) 22:49, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, Short filename that should probably be salted. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:49, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was redirect speedy deleted by Fastily as routine cleanup. NAC Ajraddatz (Talk) 18:10, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Single character file name, which should ideally be salted. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:05, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The redirect never made sense in the first place, the file usage should have been changed and the redirect deleted on spot. Ajraddatz (Talk) 16:42, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt per above. CTJF83 21:27, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Not only is File:A.gif not a redirect to File:Hiram Scott College logo.gif, it's not a redirect at all! In fact, there does not seem to be any redirects to that image. The media at File:A.gif might, or might not, need to be deleted, but this is the wrong place to discuss this. Looking at the image, it looks a good candidate for speedy deletion so there's no real reason to talk about it at all. Or is there something I'm missing here? —mako๛ 17:53, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closed + comment. That page used to be a redirect, which was speedy deleted by Fastily yesterday. When the redirect was deleted, the image from commons with that name was able to replace it. That image on commons should really be renamed, maybe I'll do that now. Ajraddatz (Talk) 18:10, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update. For those interested, I've renamed the file on commons. Problem solved :-) Ajraddatz (Talk) 18:15, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
