Implausible redirects, similar to the recent deletion of route list redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2013 April 4#List of bus routes in Cambridgeshire. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 20:46, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • The situation is slightly different here - unlike the "List of bus routes" redirects, these don't mislead as the routes are mentioned in the article. They may be unnecessary, but they're not harmful and none of the reasons at WP:Redirect#Reasons for deleting apply. Peter James (talk) 18:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • On reason 1 of WP:Redirect#Reasons for deleting -They may not be harmful to our search engine, but they mess up other search engines for anyone trying to find the relevant information. Searching for one of these routes returns The redirect, Two further Bus Routes that use the transcluded Isle of Wight bus routes template, a commons category about the route, a commons photgraph of the route, That's six of the first hits link to Wikimedia projects (3 because of the redirect) and only the 9th and 10th hit actually give readers what they are searching for (the Wightbus site with the information) If removing the redirects and following up with the template improves this then it is beneficial to delete them. I also still hold that reason 8 fails for the same reason it's improbable that anyone searching for "Wightbus Route 20" would be looking for our article on Wightbus as it makes no mention of route 20.

  • The route 20 and 29 redirects can be deleted, but I'll stay neutral on the others, as I'm not sure that "other search engines" are relevant. A search within Wikipedia doesn't find the Commons categories, and there should be no expectation that Wikipedia (or any other Wikimedia site) appears in other sites' search results, particularly the categories, which aren't exact matches for the title - they are named "Isle of Wight bus route [number]". Peter James (talk) 15:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Very weak however. Per Peter James these are different to list of bus routes however as Stuart states they may mess up other search engines for people finding the timetable for that route. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 15:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom, All confusing to readers, Bus operators website should be the first for readers, not WP/WP:Redirects. KEEP as it's a bit of History and would be helpful to those wanting info on Wightbus→Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 20:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wilbysuffolk and Davey appear to have not read the first sentence of the article, which begins: "Wightbus was a bus operator". Peter James (talk) 18:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - plausible redirects and so if people wanted to look up the route, they at least know where to go. Simply south...... eating shoes for just 7 years 16:34, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rights Manager[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 delete. Thryduulf (talk) 17:40, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be:

  • a few DRM implementations with "Rights Manager" in their names;
  • a few programs for tracking information about issued copyright or trademark licenses;
  • some jobs or roles called "rights manager".

It is ambiguous, but I doubt it is worth having a disambiguation page. AVRS (talk) 15:29, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per AVRS. There are companies out there that maintain rights and sue people for income. -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 06:27, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
