The result of the discussion was delete. JohnCD (talk) 15:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The name "OKB-754" does not appear on List of characters in the Metal Gear series. This redirect serves no purpose except to cause confusion and it should therefore be deleted. Neelix (talk) 19:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Re-target to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. While that title does not appear in the page I suggest this be re-targetted to, that is the game that it is from and the article that people searching for would *most likely* want to read. Ajraddatz (Talk) 21:28, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Considering that the redirect doesn't get much attention anyways (only 13 hits last month), perhaps just deleting it would be the best thing to do. Ajraddatz (Talk) 20:19, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete: while Ajraddatz's rationale looks good, this name is not very easy to remember, so I assume that the readers looking for it mainly come from some place where Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is discussed. If so, the proposed target won't actually help; instead it will only mask the lack of article on this topic. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:43, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as nominator - "OKB-754" is not mentioned on the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater article either; it is only going to cause more confusion if someone stumbles upon this redirect. Neelix (talk) 20:03, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete both. JohnCD (talk) 14:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These pages need help somehow. They are weird cross-name space redirects. One of them may have a useful history. Tideflat (talk) 02:37, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, and they'd qualify for speedy if they weren't four years old. It's not entirely a cross-name space redirect, since they misspelled category. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 04:44, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Useless redirects, could have been speedy-d if not so old. Ajraddatz (Talk) 21:25, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since Catagory: Chopper bicycles isn't actually a category, it can be moved. Would it be worth merging its history into chopper bicycle? - Eureka Lott 22:20, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: useless, implausible as search term and look like cross-namespace though it isn't. I see no proper way it can be used. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:53, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
