The result of the discussion was delete per WP:REDLINK. Ideally the outcome here would have been that these were converted to articles already, but this has not happened (and I'm far from qualified to do it myself) so the result is a delete per WP:REDLINK.

  • I have changed the redirects of those to pages to Basketball. --Nba-fan-11 — Preceding undated comment added 05:57, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nba-fan-11, the point of a redirect is to point the reader to a page that has encyclopedic content related to the subject and that demonstratees the notability of the subject. You need to point the redirect to a page that has content about the players. I think the only page on WP with information about those players is 2014 FIBA Under-17 World Championship. However, that page does not establish notability because it is largely unreferenced. You either need to create the biographies or beef up a page on WP with WP:RS that establish sufficient notability for the pages to point a redirect at that page. If you are going to go through that much trouble, you might as well find references for their own biographies.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:07, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Agreed, I don't know where these should redirect to but basketball certainly is not the place,--67.68.22.129 (talk) 17:31, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:REDLINK or stubbify -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:32, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or stubbify per IP. TonyTheTiger, you did your research on these people; why don't you write two short stubs? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 08:52, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or stubbify per above. If someone wants to write a (sourced) stub or article, great, but at this point a redirect with no article doesn't serve a purpose and misleads readers who see a blue link and (quite reasonably) assume they will be able to learn more about the person.

The result of the discussion was keep. JohnCD (talk) 19:38, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

deletion, there already exists a properly-capped redirect for this, but this miscap is the one that shows up in the search bar. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:44, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Improperly capitalized? So what, really. No reason to delete. Kintetsu, I suggest you read through the reasons to not delete before you nominate redirects in the future. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:12, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Read it, still find it worthwhile to nominate. I suggest you not be so smug, Oiyarbepsy.
The search bar is almost irrelevant. Not everyone uses the search bar to find things. When we delete redirects, an unknown number of people across the internet click links and see "page not found" or "page deleted" messages instead of the relevant article. There is increasing awareness that it's the destination site's fault for killing links and not the source site's fault for linking to them. Seeing not found messages reflects badly on Wikipedia, and in this case, provides zero benefit whatsoever. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 19:11, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
