Delete: the name is completely meaningless and nothing links to it. It could potentially be retargeted to roller coaster but I doubt anyone would search using those terms and not already find the article. Themeparkgc  Talk  23:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion, per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/March 32. Too old to qualify for CSD#R3. From a quick search, there seems to be a game called March 32nd, so I guess it could sensibly redirect there in the future (if/when it's notable and created). No mainspace inbound links. Considered G1 after replacing with "Segap gnitsisnoc yleritne fo tnerehocni txet ro hsirebbig htiw on lufgninaem tnetnoc ro yrotsih. Siht sedulcxe roop gnitirw, nasitrap sdeercs, enecsbo skramer, elbisualpmi seiroeht, msiladnav dna sexaoh, lanoitcif lairetam, tnerehoc non-Hsilgne lairetam, dna ylroop detalsnart lairetam. Siht sedulcxe eht xobdnas dna segap ni eht resu ecapseman. Ni trohs, fi uoy nac dnatsrednu ti, 1G seod ton ylppa." but RFD is probably the way to go. -- Trevj (talk) 15:33, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Was the contents of the deleted article about April Fools? If so, couldn't this be speedily deleted as recreation of deleted material? -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 06:52, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to April 1. The last day of March is 31. "March 32" is "April 1". Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:47, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, should we do similarly with March 33 too? I now see from the history of April 31 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) that similar articles just point to the month, e.g. November 31 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)? In the grand scheme of things, none of this really matters, but its inclusion (certainly of the current redirect to April Fools' Day) doesn't present a very professional image of Wikipedia IMO. -- Trevj (talk) 09:30, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How is an {{R from incorrect name}} unprofessional. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 12:46, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that is. However, having a mainspace redirect which is related to April Fools' Day is what seems unprofessional to me. -- Trevj (talk) 13:44, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I meant if it redirected to April 1. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:58, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Some previous relevant deletion discussions are:
There appear to be technical reasons claimed for the "0" redirects, although I note that this 2009 RfD resulted in a redirect of July 0 to January 0.

  • Comment February 32 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) was speedily deleted in 2005 -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 14:26, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Apologies for bringing up the many other titles, which I agree are largely irrelevant to the specific original listing here. However, their situations/histories do indicate that perhaps a wider general consensus should be sought in order to deal with such articles consistently in the future. Maybe members of WikiProject Days of the year would be well placed to advise. -- Trevj (talk) 09:06, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment, based on that good suggestion I've left a note inviting members of that WikiProject to comment here.[1]. Thryduulf (talk) 10:17, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 12:33, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - possibly the best redirect in the encyclopaedia. Likely to have stacks of external links. The other non-dates are worthless, though. WilyD 09:30, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
