The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 19:02, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect should either be deleted or pointed to a better target if possible, like eg WP:HOAX#Dealing with hoaxes. I fail to see the connection with WP:IAR Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete speedily. The name is the reason. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 11:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but point to WP:NOT - used redirect. The connection with IAR is clear though, it just happens we have rules for in-jokes, that don't meet other criteria. Rich Farmbrough, 12:17, 8 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]
    • the point is not deleting injokes, it is prematurely ending an AFD after it becomes clear the article creator is just trolling. I don't see wp:NOT covering that. Yoenit (talk) 21:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is not a shortcut, it is a comment with associated link. The effect may be achieved by a piped link if desired, but this redirect just encourages shouting. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's more of a long-cut, true. RF 2011-09-08:22:04
      • The comment was there first, I created this redirect later. Yoenit (talk) 21:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Meh I created this in response to User:Floquenbeam closing of this AFD, which as you might notice was closed as delete 12 hours after being started (hence the IAR link). No opinion on keeping or deleting at this point. Yoenit (talk) 21:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - first off, many thanks to Yoenit for the background to the creation of this redirect. I actually find it quite amusing. However, the utility is limited since the sentiments can be expressed in prose rather more simply than trying to remember the precise formulation. Also, as the nominator opines, it actually targets to a sub-optimum page. Time, I think to put it quietly to sleep. Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:33, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Declined PROD, since PROD does not apply to redirects. The reason was:

A redlink is more likely to be transformed in an article, this redirect is not really helpful. Grand-Duc (talk) 20:24, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:52, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:RED. Curiously, 'French ship Meuse (A607)' is the accepted naming convention (I would have thought that 'Meuse (A607)' would have been snappier but apparently not). Since this ship is likely to be notable, and there is little of value at the target, the incentive to create an article takes precedence over the utility of the redirect.

Matt Hunter[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 converted to a stub and so now out of scope for RfD. Thryduulf (talk) 10:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Hunter redirects to List of miscellaneous General Hospital characters#Matt Hunter aka a fictional character. But "Matt Hunter" is also a mountainbike cyclist, and as such he is linked, f.e. in Specialized Bicycle Components. People searching for the sports athlete should maybe find a page that he's not currently listed or sth. else. But being misguided to a fictional character is not the better option. — Preceding unsigned comment added by La Laetti (talk • contribs) 11:36, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Write a stub about the mountain biker as there looks to be enough to support an article. The fictional character will remain a search target, and so a hatnote should be provided, but an article should take precedence over a redirect to a list entry for primary topic status. 13:48, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Done with the stub. Would be kind if someone could add the hatnote, this is a format I've never done. I left the categorization for the fictional Matt Hunter in it as long as it's not done.

--La Laetti (talk) 15:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • I've added the hatnote, removed the redirect syntax, rfd template and categorisation for the redirect. I've also done some categorisation (possibly refineable) and added a stub template. Thryduulf (talk) 10:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
