August 4[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 4, 2014.

Wikipedia:STICKY[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 Keep. The shortcut's name is explained below, and has now been added to the {{policy}} template at the top of the target page. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 03:26, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target article. Launchballer 22:28, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The name is mentioned at Special:Newpages TheChampionMan1234 03:45, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Change all uses to WP:STICKYPROD. Then delete. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 04:33, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This has been used as a kkeyword in the past, and is still the link I think of for the purpose. DGG ( talk ) 17:57, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could DGG or someone else explain the meaning of the term? I've seen it used but have no idea where it's coming from. You "stick" a BLPPROD on an article, I guess, but you can also stick many other types of tags. It would probably be good to mention the lingo at the target page. --BDD (talk) 23:05, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It means a PROD tag that cannot be removed without adding a reference -- unlike an ordinary prod which can be removed by anyone for any reason or without even giving a reason or making an improvement. This particular feature was the whole point of the BLPPROD-- a compromise between those who wanted to subject them only to the normal deletion process, which would require an afd if anyone removed a prod, and those who wanted to delete unreferenced BLPs by speedy. I didn't think much of the compromise at the time, but it has proved to be workable. We similarly say that an edit or revert sticks, if no one changes it.

Which Star Is Your State[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. Given the lack of interest in this redirect (2 comments after nearly 2 months) I don't think that a second relisting will lead to a consensus here. Thryduulf (talk) 09:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTFORUM TheChampionMan1234 23:07, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I see a lot of search results for this phrase, all referring to US flag. It should not have been created: not exactly plausible search term (target is too obvious to expect someone to search for this phrase); but this redirect is harmless and it is already there since 2008. I don't see how WP:NOTFORUM applies. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 00:37, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 20:28, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I really don't know what this phrase means, and wouldn't be any the wiser for using it as a search term. That said, TheChampionMan1234, what do you mean by calling NOTFORUM on this? --BDD (talk) 18:25, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@BDD: I think this sounds like a question in online forums, thats all- TheChampionMan1234 00:41, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
