October 28[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on October 28, 2016.

List of awards and nominations received by The Chainsmokers[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. These are procedurally deleted because they were created by a blocked user in violation of their ban conditions. However, the discussion did not arrive at a clear consensus on the merit of these redirects or the lack of it, so this closure has no prejudice against re-creation of these redirects.

They've literally won zero awards, there's no reason for this redirect to exist. Nikthestunned 20:54, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The nominator's statement most likely refers to only the first nominated redirect. The rest were added (by me in this edit) after the nomination (since the nominator mentioned them immediately afterwards, and all votes thus far refer to all 4 redirects listed here now.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:05, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also these three all link to small sections in the articles and should probably go too:
The user created another for Calvin Harris but that awards section is significantly longer and the editor has started a discussion on the talk page to actually split that out, so I guess let that one stand for now. Nikthestunned 21:00, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom. Such lists should not start as redirects. They should be decent attempts at an actual article and for lists that are too bulky for the main article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:26, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all since redirects pose no harm of any sort and all these redirects are relevant to the targets. These redirects may help people to get to the appropriate articles. For example, someone searching for "List of awards and nominations received by The Chainsmokers" can be redirected to The Chainsmokers' "Awards and nominations" section. It does not really matter if they won any awards or not, the objective of redirects is to allow people to get to the right pages. My intention of creating redirects is solely about helping readers to see the relevant pages. - ReZawler (talk • contribs) 08:32, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all per redirects' creator, but tag them all with {{R with possibilities}}. The information of these redirects exists at their target, so they are actually helpful. Steel1943 (talk) 19:57, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all misleading redirects The Banner talk 18:54, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I do not understand why would people be so butthurt about redirects that pose no threat to this website. They're not misleading. All of them have their topics in the sections of each target article, which could be expanded in the future and then the sections would be appropriately moved to the redirects to become their own articles. - ReZawler (talk • contribs) 19:21, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    No need for personal attacks. --BDD (talk) 18:34, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the user ReZawler has been banned after a WP:SPI. The redirects appear to be an attempt to ramp up the edit count as to get page reviewer status (see here). Karst (talk) 07:57, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep These redirects point to such lists. No problem here whatsoever. --BDD (talk) 18:34, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all per Steel1943 and BDD. The opening sentence of this nomination would hold water if the text of these redirects did not include "and nominations".— Godsy (TALKCONT) 04:07, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete, WP:G5. These redirects were created by a sockpuppet and blocked users are not allowed to contribute. I don't mind if someone in good standing recreates in good faith if they absolutely think they should exist. -- Tavix (talk) 02:26, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Federal Empire[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. --BDD (talk) 18:33, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, the article about an artist should not redirect to a record label The Banner talk 20:51, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - In my opinion, we should be more focused on making Wikipedia better rather than simply attempting to have redirects and/or articles deleted for the sake of being a good editor. The Federal Empire are mainly known for their collaboration on the record label and that's why I think the redirect should remain. - ReZawler (talk • contribs) 08:32, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I have no idea if there's a set policy on this, but if the artist isn't notable enough to even be worth a mention in the page it's being redirected to (and including them in just an artist list doesn't count) then we don't need the redirect. All these 200+ redirects are going to do is confuse matters when it comes to wikilinks to these non-notable artists. Nikthestunned 12:59, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and since the subject of the redirect is not identified in the target article. Steel1943 (talk) 00:37, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Originally an article that was deleted at AFD. This has been recreated as a redirect to the discography of someone else. No reason for its existence. noq (talk) 16:10, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I have nothing to say about whether this redirect should be kept or deleted as I only intended to make Wikipedia better by creating this redirect of a less notable artist to a notable artist that has collaborated together. In my opinion, the readers searching for Ryos should be redirected to Borgeous because they will then realize the article does not exist and they can see about Ryos in the discography section of Borgeous. It could lead somewhere and is useful. - ReZawler (talk • contribs) 08:32, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also if you have a better suggestion on where the redirect should be targeted, please do suggest as we should Wikipedia better and not just focus on deleting for very small reasons. - ReZawler (talk • contribs) 08:36, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
