James Raideen → Pro Wrestling Zero1 (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Deletion per WP:RFD#D10. Pro Wrestling Zero1 is only one of dozens of companies Raideen has worked for. リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) #GG (talk) 19:23, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. there's a probability that he deserves his own article in the future so also delete per WP:REDLINK. --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:52, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete to encourage creation of the article. Si Trew (talk) 07:04, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Downton abbey congressman[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. Honestly, I could relist this, but I think it's very unlikely that there would be consensus to delete. No consensus maybe. It's been demonstrated that this is a plausible search term. --BDD (talk) 16:03, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Downton abbey congressman → Aaron Schock (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Frivolous at best, It may also be seen by some as suggestive of political bias. Ad Orientem (talk) 05:24, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Schock received media coverage for redecorating office to resemble Downton Abbey themes. ABC News, for one, used that exact three-word identifier. [1] 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 13:03, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep viable search term, he's in the news for his office decorating. WP:NOTCENSORED -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 05:51, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Frivolous is correct. There are many ways to search if one lacks hard info, perhaps Downton Abbey republican or Downton Abbey Illinois or Downton Abbey office decor. We should let searchers search. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 01:47, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- It is something he's famous for; even more so than his political affiliation, which peoople may not know, just that he's a congressman. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:26, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plausible search term. "There are many ways to search if one lacks hard info" searching shouldn't be a chore, synonyms are there to help, it is not disparaging or libelous. If you know he is Republican and from Illinois, you probably already know his name. This is for people who only remember the Downton Abbey guy from Congress. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:42, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obama's hero → John Lewis (politician) (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Delete. Just because the President said "Lewis is my hero" or something like that yesterday doesn't make this a plausible redirect. It's also subjective (who is to say that this is Obama's biggest, or only, hero? NawlinWiki (talk) 18:01, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect creator's comment I suppose your argument saying that the redirect implies that Mr. Lewis is Obama's sole or biggest hero is legitimate. I also admit that I created this redirect boldly. Mr. Guye (talk) 18:06, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Obama has several heroes, there's no viable target for this -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 05:52, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He might have meant John Lewis (department store), named for a chap whose name I forget... but since I don't think he shops there much, it is confusing at best. WP:RFD#D2 confusing. Si Trew (talk) 07:06, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BLP and WP:NOTNEWS. Obama has previously called other people his hero, notably Nelson Mandela ([2]) just before he died, and several people have been called "Obama's hero" in a derogatory sense, such as Jason Collins ([3]) and Bowe Bergdahl ([4]). We wouldn't create a List of Barack Obama's heroes or a List of people who have been called Obama's hero, and we shouldn't have this either. Ivanvector (talk) 13:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a bit vague and per Ivanvector's findings, there's no clear potential target --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:13, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
