This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 17, 2013.

Kirk Fogg[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The result of the discussion was withdrawn by nominator. Discussion of Mr. Fogg's notability will take place at a forthcoming AFD. RJaguar3 | u | t 16:26, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that this should stay as a redirect, but I would like to get a wider discussion. An editor recently replaced the redirect with an article [1]. I still think that the article fails WP:BLP (especially given the lack of solid sources) and WP:BLP1E; Fogg is still only known for hosting Legends of the Hidden Temple.

  • Keep as an article - I think he is notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia, which is why I switched the redirect to an actual article. He has directed/produced/written two movies, been in a few movies/TV shows, and was the host of a popular kids game show, which combined result in enough notability to warrant an article on Wikipedia.

  • Wrong forum AfD is the place where decisions about notability should be made. Siuenti (talk) 18:18, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am not asking for the page to be deleted. Either it will have an article on Mr. Fogg or it will continue to be a useful redirect to Legends of the Hidden Temple. RJaguar3 | u | t 18:22, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Sure, but to determine that we need to judge Fogg's notability which is not for here. The Whispering Wind (talk) 23:03, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wrong forum - best now is to reinstate the article and take to AfD. The prime question is whether the subject meets WP:BIO and that is for AfD. If he is notable the article stays, if not the redirect can be recreated. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Egyptian Civil War[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 speedily deleted, as a recently created, implausible redirect. There is clear consensus that the designation "civil war" is inappropriate. If it is appropriate to create a disambiguation page for other conflicts that really have been civil wars, then that will be fine, but not under this title, since there is no justification for capitalising "Civil War". JamesBWatson (talk) 11:32, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Same as Egyptian civil war, listed August 16. Iselilja (talk) 09:42, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
