Willy nilly (philosophy)[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.
This was nominated in the past, but the only other comment was from Neelix, so it was inconclusive. I agree with the previous nominator, OlEnglish, who stated that it's a confusing, unclear redirect. It implies that willy nilly is a philosophical term meaning "fatalism" and I don't think that's a logical connection to make. Since "willy nilly" isn't mentioned at the target, it was also removed from the willy nilly dab page last year by qwfp (WP:DABMENTION). -- Tavix (talk) 16:58, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. The "philosophy" qualifier makes it impossible to retarget anywhere, since "willy nilly" has nothing to do with philosophy. Nothing links to it, it's only had a scattering of hits, and there's nothing substantive in the history. — Gorthian (talk) 18:49, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Big Money 42Nd Parallel 1919 And District Of Columbia[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.
- Big Money 42Nd Parallel 1919 And District Of Columbia → U.S.A. (trilogy) (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
delete: Unlikely query, including an apparent capitalization typo in "42Nd". It's the sort of thing you might type into a search engine and find what you're looking for, but not really useful as an alternate title. Nothing links to it, and the only subsequent edit after creation was by a bot (over three years later!) to fix a double redirect. B7T (talk) 05:55, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete It's full of typos, and District of Columbia is not part of the Trilogy, but a completely separate book series by John Dos Passos. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:27, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Birdie Sanders[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.
- BirdieSanders → Huma_bird#Birdie_Sanders_.26_Huma (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I think this redirect should be deleted because the target article (Huma bird) no longer contains any relevant information about Mr. Sanders or the bird that once landed on his podium. Everymorning (talk) 03:04, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. The wiki isn't a repository of dank memes --Lenticel (talk) 01:57, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
- I added BirdieSanders to this nomination. — Gorthian (talk) 19:29, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Seemingly not enough quality sourcing, but it could also refer to the character on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, see here.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 08:47, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
