The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 03:13, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect was made after the article in question was deleted per AfD consensus. It redirects to a section of the Hershey, Pennsylvania. However, an entire section on this company in that article is undue weight, and the redirect is therefore inappropriate. agtx 17:43, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I agree that the section on this company in Hershey, Pennsylvania looked like undue weight, and I see insufficient rationale for recreating this article after it was deleted last month. Biogeographist (talk) 18:16, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This is a well-established company dating from 1988 with many references to articles and books published by it, even on Wikipedia itself. The company publishes c.180 journals, including some listed on WIkipedia, and is listed by respected indexes such as Scopus, etc. It has been accused by some of being a vanity publishing company and there appears to be a campaign against it by some on Wikipedia, presumably for this reason, but that does not make it a non-notable company. We should not be trying to delete mention of entities from Wikipedia just because we disapprove of them. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 11:48, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Jpbowen: I think that this comment doesn't address the issue. First, I'm not part of any "campaign" for or against any publisher, and I have no feelings of approval or disapproval of this company (and an implication otherwise has a WP:AGF problem). As of now, the company isn't notable—there's already been a decision to delete the page. That said, this isn't a discussion about notability. It's a discussion about weight. The question is whether this company is so important to Hershey, Pennsylvania that an entire section of an encyclopedia article and a redirect need to be devoted to it. I haven't seen any evidence that makes me believe that. agtx 14:57, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Of course reduce the "weight" if you wish. IGI Global is an international company in a fairly small town, so I think important in Hershey. The discussion on deletion was very close so there should be mention of the company somewhere on Wikipedia IMHO. (In fact, a new independent reference was included, increasing the company's "notability" since deletion.) If you have a suggestion for a better place do say. If you prefer a "Companies" section, add that instead. The Hershey Company is there too of course. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 15:14, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - While the company shouldn't take up a huge amount of the city's page, I feel like it ought to be mentioned in there in terms of due weight, and this redirect appears appropriate. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 17:40, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 23:36, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete 55 employees in 2012 spread between main office in Hershey and an office in Vancouver, [1] while the population of Hershey is 15,000. Also it isn't mentioned in hersheypa.com as a major business. Is that major enough? I'd think a school would employ that many people. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the article was nuked as non-notable this looks like an attempted end-run round that. Guy (Help!) 00:29, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

HQ9+[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. without prejudice against article creation (but don't import the simple: article directly). Deryck C. 16:32, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I don't know if this is an appropriate redirect or not. Cross wiki redirect to the Simple English Wikipedia. I am nominating with the proviso that I am neutral at the moment. If a quick consensus develops for keep I will happily withdraw and close this. Safiel (talk) 22:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the template that was posted on that page, it says ignore if it is a soft redirect. This is a soft redirect, so why is it there? KeepWikiMaster111 (talk) 22:44, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The error message in the deletion template was generated due to the fact that this is a soft redirect and thus the error message itself can be ignored. This discussion process, however, is still fully appropriate, even if the redirect is of the soft variety. Safiel (talk) 22:54, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Interwiki link that could mislead readers. However, I'm okay if anyone were to copy the Simple Wikipedia article and overwrite the redirect while copy editing it and ensuring that WP:CWW is followed to preserve attribution to the original page's editor(s). Steel1943 (talk) 23:26, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Moving the target article to en-wiki is not an option because that unsourced article is not encyclopedic nor notable by en-wiki standards. —teb728 t c 00:34, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. I think we're heading towards a rough consensus that Stockholm doesn't have enough affinity with Spanish or Portuguese. Deryck C. 16:31, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not related to Spanish or Portuguese. Gorobay (talk) 20:54, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 03:12, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This variation of the target's real name, Christopher Szygiel, is mentioned nowhere in the target article. For this reason, it is the equivalent of a misleading WP:FORRED situation. Steel1943 (talk) 17:18, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Cemter" is an unlikely misspelling. Steel1943 (talk) 15:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. (I'll also note that I'm apparently not the first person to think this would be an awesome band name.) -- Tavix (talk) 03:09, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sensical redirect. While perhaps a likely misspelling, the Oxford comma is not exactly inferred by an Oxford coma.... Izno (talk) 14:32, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Someone looking for Oxford comma would not misspell comma, unless auto-correct messes with this. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:02, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:06, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, though there probably have been people in a coma while in Oxford. Steel1943 (talk) 23:23, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Agreed, Steel. — Gestrid (talk) 23:25, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. No prejudice against recreation if sourced information is added somewhere, though I'd personally recommend against the first one. --BDD (talk) 17:59, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The surname is Biden, not "OBiden". --Nevé–selbert 08:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
