The result of the discussion was Keep. Ruslik_Zero 16:51, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Criterion 8 – foreign language redirect that will not be used by English-speakers. It's so obscure, it's not even in the left-sidebar list of other-language WP articles on Cat. Not linked to from any page. — SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ɖ⊝כ⊙þ Contrib. 11:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - a foreign language redirect likely to be used by English speakers, and no rationale for deletion has been suggested. Above and beyond the normal case, note that [1] has exposed a lot of English speakers to the term. WilyD 16:38, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep because of the book that Wily links. Otherwise, I'd say "delete, implausible". Nyttend (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is the book or notable, if it is write an article about the book and retarget this to that article. Otherwise Keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk • contribs) 19:02, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to The Cat (2011 film) Siuenti (talk) 12:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 16:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Criteriion 8 – foreign language redirect that will not be used by English-speakers. It's so obscure, it's not even in the left-sidebar list of other-language WP articles on Cat. Murka also happens to be a placename in Kenya, being linked to from Railway stations in Kenya. Not linked to from any other page except a userspace one. — SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ɖ⊝כ⊙þ Contrib. 11:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete to encourage the creation of the article about the place in Kenya. Thryduulf (talk) 12:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Retitled image Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete slowly. In many cases there is benefit in keeping redirects from former image titles. Where the old title is just a generic sequential file name there is very rarely any benefit, and I see none here. It was at this title a long time though, so its best to allow a week or so after the move to allow people to catch up. Thryduulf (talk) 12:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; it's 6+ years old and possibly will have gotten links from other places, and I don't see any way in which it's causing problems. It's additionally helpful because its existence means that people can't upload new images under this title. Nyttend (talk) 03:35, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is more important on Commons than on Wikipedia where external wikis might use an old redirect using mw:InstantCommons, but there may also be websites which rely on Wikipedia file names. For example, a Wikipedia mirror might only contain some of the information and depend on links to Wikipedia for other purposes such as attribution. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:53, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Penis tower[edit]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 16:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The target article doesn't mention the term at all. Presumably one of the episodes mentioned included a "Penis Tower" as one of its plot lines, but it doesn't seem to make this a useful redirect. The redirect Penis Tower was already deleted for similar reasons (see WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 September 26) so this is in some ways just completing that.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:23, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The history suggests the episode in question was "Captain Girl", but that doesn't make this at all useful. Thryduulf (talk) 12:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. Ruslik_Zero 16:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The event has been renames as "Wikipedia Summit Pune", and hence I request this category to be deleted, having created a new category: Category:Wikipedia Summit Pune. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 05:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - we can't expect everyone to be aware of the renaming, hence, the redirect should be kept to allow them to find it, rather than having them arrive at an uninformative redlink. WilyD 10:16, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WilyD. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Redundant as there is already a new category. I doubt anyone is going to go thru an empty category. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 17:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's a redirect, not a category, so it's not redundant. No one can go thru the category - they'll just be helpfully directed to the right place if they look for it, rather than rudely told to go away. WilyD 19:27, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As above. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WilyD. The redirect is helpful and deletion would bring no benefits. Thryduulf (talk) 23:37, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the other keepers. Note that you can't use a normal redirect on categories; you have to use {{Category redirect}}. Besides what the other keepers said, the use of "Category redirect" is a signal for bots automatically to move a page that gets put in this category. If we delete it, bots won't know to check, and a page could end up in the deleted category for a long time. Nyttend (talk) 03:39, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 16:44, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An IP editor brought this to my attention - apparently this originally referred to an unnotable fictional character tangentially associated with the COC, and was redirected (see page history for full details). Let the record show the reason for deletion is: unlikely search term. Intelligentsium 03:25, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I can't find any significant association between "Dabdoub" and the target. "Dabdoub" is also a surname, we only have one article for someone with this surname, Marco Antonio Martinez Dabdoub, but others with the name get mentions and some may be notable in future (at least one is redlinked) so I don't think it would be good to retarget it to one specific person, at least at this time. Thryduulf (talk) 12:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Marco Antonio Martinez Dabdoub - if there is an article about someone else with the name someday, we can change it then. Ego White Tray (talk) 07:36, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
