May 7[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 7, 2013

UCLASS[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 The below was enacted, as the redirect UCLASS has been expanded to a stub at Unmanned Carrier-Launched Surveillance and Strike program ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:39, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This was marked for proposed deletion by User:NobodyMinus with the rationale "UCLASS can refer to the X-47 and Phantom Ray, and it most commonly used to refer to the X-47. It should therefore not be a redirect page for the Lockheed Sea Ghost". In fact, UCLASS is a specific Navy acquisitions development program [1] [2], and the listed plane designs are potential designs being considered for it. This should not be a redirect to any particular plane, and in fact it probably ought to be a redlink to encourace the creation of an article on the program. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 22:40, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go ahead. Hcobb (talk) 22:43, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment or we could create a stub, and wait for people to improve it. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 23:04, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment this is the result of a page move, and so a stub would be better to maintain the full edit history and avoid breaking too many incoming links. It certainly seems like we should have an article on this.Thryduulf (talk) 23:27, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The page was originally called UCLASS but was talking about the Lockheed Sea Ghost specifically, so I changed the name. America789 (talk) 19:37, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Deleted page[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 ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:33, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This started out life as a useful redirect to template:deletedpage, a precursor to today's creation protection. In 2007 the target template was converted to a redirect following a TfD discussion, it was retargeted to the list of protected titles and then to the present target in 2010. That redirect was nominated at RfD in 2011 during which it was reverted to a template and then deleted at TfD.
The deletedpage template process has been deprecated since 2007, and obsolete nearly as long. It would presently serve to transclude part of the protection policy if anybody used it, but nobody does as there is no need to transclude that anywhere.Thryduulf (talk)

I've notified the editors of the template and those people who commented in the related RfD about Template:Deletedpage who are apparently still here and have not explicitly rejected notifications. Thryduulf (talk) 16:44, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bravo F1[edit]

The result of the discussion was Delete Unopposed nomination ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:38, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion - the redirect has been created to direct readers to HRT F1, but Bravo F1 is completely unrelated. Although Bravo F1 is mentioned in the article lead, the text makes it quite clear that it was a separate team; it has only been mentioned because Bravo F1 and HRT F1 had the same nationality. There is nothing to support the suggestion that anybody from Bravo F1 was involved in HRT F1. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 09:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete and salt both. Ruslik_Zero 16:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No mention in target. Potential source of vandalism. YouTube Poop has been salted many times. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 06:48, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and salt per nominator. I've added the alternatively capitalised variant to the nomination and I'd also recommend salting YouTube poops and Youtube poops for the same reasons. Thryduulf (talk) 13:45, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico)[edit]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 21:25, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this need to exist, exactly?  — TORTOISEWRATH 00:32, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It currently needs to exist because it's getting around 150 hits each month, almost certainly because of a link from one or more external sites. Why it was created we may never know for certain as it's unlikely the IP editor from 2005 is still around (there are 3 apparently unrelated edits in 2007 but nothing since). Based on the surrounding contribution history though we can make an educated guess that it was created formulaically since they created redirects with the form "Island name (Puerto Rico)" for the other inhabited islands in that territory, and similar for American Samoa and other US states and territories. Such redirects are usually a good thing as they make articles accessible from easily predictable titles. Thryduulf (talk) 00:58, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Thryduulf, formulaic titles are a good idea for redirects -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 03:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Thryduulf.--Lenticel (talk) 00:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
