This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 13, 2013.

Wikipedia:Editing privileges[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 no consensus. WJBscribe (talk) 00:54, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is only linked to in two locations, and both use it as if it talked about a user being allowed to edit at all, but it actually redirects to different advanced permissions users can have. I think the redirect should be deleted, unless we have an appropriate page to retarget it to. Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:13, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Jackmcbarn: WP:User access levels also discusses indefinitely blocked users, so it seems like a good target for that redirect page. Jarble (talk) 22:46, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That seems like a tangential mention to me. It's just saying what to do with the advanced permissions if a user gets blocked. The problem is, a user clicking on one of the links to that page will get something totally irrelevant to what they were looking at. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:48, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I don't know of another page that better expresses this concept, nor do I think the redirect is particularly misleading. --BDD (talk) 18:19, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not that the redirect itself is misleading. It's that it's only linked to in two places, and both usages of it are misleading. Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:34, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • @User:Jackmcbarn: In that case, it might be reasonable to remove these two links instead of deleting the redirect page. The pages that link to this redirect are listed here, so it's very easy to remove these links. Jarble (talk) 05:56, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Wikipedia:Editing policy. I think this would be a better target. Armbrust The Homunculus 01:38, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was procedural close. The target is I Remember (deadmau5 and Kaskade song), and it would appear the nominator simply caught a double redirect before it was fixed. --BDD (talk) 06:45, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leading to a disambiguation page. Intended article seems not to exist at all. Created a loop. The Banner talk 14:04, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seems it's been sorted now. FM [ talk to me | show contributions ]  17:21, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Misspelling of names. The father's name is Alexander Barkov. The son's name is Aleksander Barkov. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 11:58, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, you need to put {{db-g6}} on top of the article.--Launchballer 20:37, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Launchballer. I will get right to it :) --K.Annoyomous (talk) 20:55, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unused redirects to pages in the Signpost WOSlinker (talk) 11:54, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note There are about 160 other similar redirects (see Category:WikiProjects in The Signpost by name but those are all in the Wikipedia namespace. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move without redirect to Wikipedia: namespace. These cross namespace redirects clearly shouldn't be in article space. It looks like these were created in article space in error so easiest solution is to move them without redirect. 5.70.113.236 (talk) 01:20, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose hardly unused redirects - have a look at Category:WikiProjects in The Signpost by name, a catgory that has taken me months to build and populate. But I suppose that as the creator of those re-directs my oppose does not count, sigh... XOttawahitech (talk) 15:36, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment here is a bit of an explanation about how these redirects are used XOttawahitech (talk) 15:43, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Ottawahitech: Have you seen Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Series/WikiProject report ? -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • (edit conflict) Comment. Firstly your being creator does not mean your views do not count or carry less weight than anyone else's. Most of the pages in that category are in the Wikipedia namespace already and so would not be affected (they are not part of this nomination), moving those that are in article space into project space will also not affect the categorisation at all. Thryduulf (talk) 15:50, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move without redirect to Wikipedia namespace per the anon user above, these are useful redirects per Ottawahitech but they should not be in article space. Thryduulf (talk) 15:50, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It'd be fine with a move as well. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:56, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
