June 26[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 26, 2012

Bronyetransportyor[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 keep and tag as {{R from misspelling}}. This is not the correct venue to discus whether linking to the article vandalised on vandal's talk pages encourages further vandalism. Thryduulf (talk) 10:13, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Bronyetransportyor should be deleted. It is incorrect translation per either WP:RUS (Russian: бронетранспортёр) or WP:UKR (Ukrainian: бронетранспортер), and it is that transliteration that caused a series of bad pun vandals made by IP users. Besides, redirects in the linked pages were fixed by now. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 12:17, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Huh? It's, like, the third word in the target article. This nomination doesn't make any sense. And even if it is a mistranslation, deleting the redirect required compelling evidence that no one else has ever made this same mistranslation. If it is transliterated incorrectly, just tag it as {{R from misspelling}} which will keep it out of search results. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 12:34, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's an artifact of a very recent pagemove. Prior to the move, content existed at that title for almost a year. While it has been currently orphaned, all the inbound links remain in the history of other pages and could be restored at any time if, for example, a page is reverted to fix vandalism. The solution to IP vandals is to protect the page, not to delete a legitimate redirect. Rossami (talk) 12:55, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See? This is what happens when you didn't delete the redirect based on wrong transliteration which caused some anons to put nonsense (Well, Bronyetransportyor) before I moved the article to BTR (vehicle). We had chance to prevent this happening again when the article was still in semi-protection; if you made it a red link by deleting it quickly, when anon's back, s/he would assume the article itself was deleted so s/he wouldn't touch BTR (vehicle) article anyway. Now, it's too late, because, when someone leaves message regarding the vandalism in the anon's talk page, s/he will get the link to the current article and vandalise it again.
