March 18[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 18, 2013

Labor Party (United States, 1919)[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 procedural close. The redirect was speedily deleted by INeverCry, but the destination page was created thereafter. I'm BOLDly recreating the link, which now has a legitimate target. Since the original rationale no longer applies, I'm closing this. --BDD (talk) 20:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. Does no harm, and while the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguements are just that, there is valid precedent here for convenience. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sensical redirect. Who would ever think to use a "cop" as a shortcut for "collapsible option"? It seems to be shortcut for a single user to avoid a few keystrokes rather than just copying and pasting {{collapsible option}} into his creations of navbox templates. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 09:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There are several templates like this, such as Template:Tb for talkback. I used template:CO for a while, but that too got reverted. --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:11, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with nominator's rationale; seems like a self-convenience made redirect rather than a practical one. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:19, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not about police, it should redirect to {{law enforcement}} or some other WPLE/policing template. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 00:58, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Cop isn't "about police" either; it's a dab. Unless a WikiProject has actually expressed interest in usurping this redirect, I don't see it doing any harm, and a useful template redirect in the vein of {{pot}}, which you wouldn't see anyone proposing to retarget to {{WikiProject Cannabis}}. I only say weak keep because it's new enough that this would be the time to make a change, if we wanted to. I don't. --BDD (talk) 20:20, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Misleading, because "cop" has a primary meaning relating to policing, not a technical issue of display formatting. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:30, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is no need for a template about policing at this title (it would be placed at a more formal, less ambiguous term) and this seems to fit well with the likes of {{hat}} and {{hab}}. I'm not seeing that this is doing any harm, and so no reason to delete. Thryduulf (talk) 17:46, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Useful, convenient template redirect. WP:R#D8 doesn't really apply given this isn't an articlespace redirect, and WP:R#D2 doesn't really apply given confusion is substantially less likely to occur with users who are clueful enough to use other namespaces. {{hat}} isn't about headwear either. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 16:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not a template but a redirect. I guess he got tired of typing the full name "Collapsible option". It is only used in templates created by the same editor who created this. The Banner talk 12:57, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply - ... and may be picked up by other authors who use my templates ... Besides, we have {{hat}} and {{hab}}. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
