Acid blues currently redirects to Psychedelic rock, which itself doesn't otherwise mention "acid blues". I'm thinking this could be deleted as an unlikely redirect, and/or as per RfD criteria 8 and 10. Most of the links to this are via Template:Psychedelic music and Template:Funkmusic (I'd already removed this from both, but it seems the server cache [or whatever] hasn't yet caught up.) Prior to being a redirect, the article consisted of OR and lacked sources. Gyrofrog (talk) 23:37, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete There's a discussion on Talk:Acid blues#Cleaned up from a point 2 years ago when a formerly OR article full of questionable examples (Velvet Underground "acid blues"?!) was replaced by the redirect. That was an improvement but as pointed out above it is redirecting into an article which doesn't mention this supposed genre. Better without it altogether.

  • Delete per above. Target makes no mention, and the connection seems tenuous. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 16:18, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Yep that was me who made it a redirect and I have seen no evidence of its existence since. Time to clean up an unlikely search.--SabreBD (talk) 18:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace redirect that could easily be switched to be "WP:AUTOCONV". MZMcBride (talk) 20:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:49, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move without redirect per nom. Some cross-namespace redirects (CNRs) have value, but links to WikiProjects are not often among them and shortcuts even less so. The target in this case is clearly intended for editors, and it is not going to be of use to any new editors who have not yet learned about namespaces (which knowledge would typically be acquired before learning of shortcuts), so there is no value in retaining this redirect in article space. Thryduulf (talk) 13:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move without redirect and do the same to Autoconv. TimBentley (talk) 16:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace and just generally kind of goofy. Currently classified as a shortcut, but it's not very short. I think this redirect should be deleted. MZMcBride (talk) 20:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
