Moved 2 years ago - not really relevent for a wp: page Mdann52 (talk) 17:21, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: so it was incorrectly titled when it was created and subsequently fixed. An implausibly worded title for someone to search for.--Michaela den (talk) 11:29, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Private Parts (1997 film). Thryduulf (talk) 10:49, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is apparently a nickname for Paul Giamatti, but as it potentially offensive (has been accidentally deleted as vandalism three times today) I thought it should be listed here to decide whether or not it is useful or not. SmartSE (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I almost speedy-deleted it myself. Looking into it in detail, though, this is a capitalization variant of the nickname of Kenny Rushton, a movie character played by Giamatti. I find it hard to argue that the name of a character can be offensive to the actor who voluntarily plays the part. Since the movie was biographical in nature, the nickname could be offensive to the real person on whom the role was based but but I don't think that applies here. The pejorative nickname of a character seems less offensive than Pig Virus, the real nickname used for the real person. All that said, the redirect is not especially clear. Retarget to Private Parts (1997 film) where the character and the context are more clear. Rossami (talk) 22:18, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Private Parts (1997 film) per Rossami.--Lenticel (talk) 03:17, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. Thryduulf (talk) 10:51, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

implausible typo (Iyad Allawi already exists), getting redirects like Dr. Iyad Allawi or Dr. Angela Merkel for everyone who is a doctor or has a German PhD doesn't make sense Mrzwischenzug (talk) 17:00, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is neither a typo nor implausible. It was deliberately created at this title and, as you note, it is a variant of an uncontroversial redirect. The inclusion of the honorific is a non-standard title for an article and we should generally encourage editors to do something more productive with their time than creating redirects with honorifics but redirects are cheap. Once such a redirect is created, there is no benefit to deleting it unless it is actively harmful or confusing. This redirect has existed for almost 5 years without creating any confusion or controversy. I see no harm in it. Rossami (talk) 20:05, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nicola Foot[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. Nobody has come to the defence of this redirect after 2 weeks so deletion seems uncontroversial. Thryduulf (talk) 10:54, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable person - the girlfriend of a murdered person should not be a search term that links to this article - she is only mentioned in the article that she was walking home with him. Her involvement is so minimal as to not require a lifetime search result for her name via wikipedia. Youreallycan 15:59, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This title was tagged for speedy-deletion but is too old to qualify. It appears to have been created in good faith as a pseudonamespace variant. This is a courtesy nomination. I abstain for now. Rossami (talk) 14:41, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
