• Incarnations of Inspector Gadget besides the 1983 cartoon series → Inspector Gadget (franchise) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Deletion looks to be justified here. I seriously doubt that anyone looking for information on the Inspector Gadget would type this into the search bar. Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:13, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

• Keep. This was the original title that the page was created under. The page has been moved several times since. Notably, the first move was before the MediaWiki software was changed to automatically log pagemoves in the pagehistory. The redirect has existed without comment or controversy since 2005. And while the page was not long at this title, the possibility of external links to the title can not be excluded. Link rot is an evil we should avoid whenever possible. This redirect is not in the way of any other content and is not obviously harmful or confusing to readers. It does not appear to meet any of the listed reasons for deleting a redirect.

• Keep- Per Rossami, but tag as unprintworthy. Dru of Id (talk) 01:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Tagged as {{R from incorrect name}} (a subtype of {{unprintworthy}}). BigNate37_(T) 08:48, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
• Comment - Right, then; I'm convinced. If I had known that was the original name of the article I wouldn't have nominated it. Consider my objection to its existence dropped. Cheers! Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 05:03, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
