Deletion. There is no song whatsoever by this name produced by a known artist. This page was linked to in Chris Brown's discography between two songs, "No Bullshit" being one of them. Chris Brown released no singles by this name. I have since deleted the false links to this page and am now requesting the deletion of this page. It redirects to Young Money Entertainment, a music company of which Chris Brown is NOT a part of. It's presence and redirect were made by a user who no longer exists. This is a clear case of vandalism contributing nothing to wikipedia. 173.74.194.215 (talk) 08:52, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Kept. Non-admin closure: I made this nomination, but I accept the comments made about it. There are no "delete" votes besides my original one, which I reconsidered Cambalachero (talk) 02:12, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article was created in 2007 as "Project:Revolution" (because of its name), but the mediawiki interpreted it as a page "Revolution" in the "Project" namespace (which turns into the "Wikipedia:" namespace). Thus, it was moved to its current location. So, it is a redirect from the Wikipedia namespace to article namespace, which should not have been kept.

  • keep. The article gives the correct of the game as Project: Revolution, which for technical reasons is the same as Wikipedia:Revolution. There are several good reasons why having the article at a slightly incorrect title is preferable to having an article in project space, but these mostly do not apply to redirects (either in the same way or at all). The correct title is and will remain the natural search term for the topic so this is an exception to the general case where wikipedia -} article redirects are bad. Additionaly there are reaons to keep this to avoid link rot and maintain attribution history. Both redirect and article should be appropriately tagged to note the incorrect title though. Should there in future be a project page that would logically fit at this title a {{selfref}} hatnote at the target is the way to go as encyclopaedia content trumps project content every time.

    • Note, I have now tagged the redirect and article appropriately. Thryduulf (talk) 17:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep Wikipedia:Revolution should redirect to the game article, since that's its name. -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 03:22, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The proper title of the page is "Project:Revolution", which would inappropriately put the article in projectspace instead of in mainspace. This is one of the rare situations in which readers will (accidentally) be likely to search for a page that's not in mainspace. Please read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions).
