2 August[edit]

WIkipedia is not a democracy → Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not[edit]

The nominated redirect was Deleted --Cyde Weys 13:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross name space rediect. Wedian 23:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And it's spelled wrong - note the capital "I". Delete, obviously. — sjorford++ 13:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above - it's a cross namespace redirect and a spelling error. Cowman109Talk 17:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as cross namespace redirect -- Samir धर्म 05:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nomination. Rbraunwa 03:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as cross namespace redirect, we don't need WIkipedia namespace articles, and 'is not a democracy' isn't so closely related to what wp is not that it should be used as a redirect for the latter.--Draicone (talk) 07:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zwicker → Cyril Boehler[edit]

The result of the debate was speedily deleted by Fang Aili at 14:22, 2 August 2006; content was: '{{db-r1}}{{rfd}}#REDIRECT Cyril Boehler'. --nae'blis 03:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A useless redirect Somnabot 17:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Broken redirect. SpazKitty 18:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiholics, Wikiholic, Wikiholoc, Wikipediholic, Wikipediholism → Wikipedia:Wikipediholic[edit]

The nominated redirect was All Deleted --Cyde Weys 13:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace, being used in an article currently on AFD, and I can't think of a legitimate articlespace target for these redirects. Delete. -- nae'blis 16:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. I don't know where you find them, but I'm glad they got here. BigNate37(T) 02:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nomination. Rbraunwa 03:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NYFD → New York City Fire Department[edit]

The nominated redirect was kept, with no objection to making it a disambiguation page later, though I doubt it would be necessary or useful. —freak(talk) 17:02, Aug. 3, 2006 (UTC)

Almost NO ONE uses "NYFD" - that shows similarity to "NYPD" for the police department. It is only proper to have a redirect from "FDNY". — Preceding unsigned comment added by How dare you? (talk • contribs) 13:50, 2 August 2006 [1]

  • Keep Seems a likely search term to be used by a non-New Yorker. Fan-1967 14:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - A quick Google search reveals 177,000 search results for "NYFD", and all of the top results are related to the New York City Fire Department. While technically this acronym may not be correct, it is in wide use, and more than meets the criteria necessary for being a redirect. --Cyde↔Weys 14:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. --Oden 23:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ironbridge Power Station → Buildwas Power Station[edit]

The result of the debate was nominator moved to Wikipedia:Requested moves. -- nae'blis 14:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The power station is called Ironbridge power station; It happens to be in the Parish of Buildwas. Google ration is 11:1 in favour of "Ironbridge Power Station" (over "Buildwas Power Station") Ratarsed 12:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- then the article can be renamed to it's proper, more common, name. -- Ratarsed 15:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment isn't this a requested move instead? Is Ironbridge Power Station so implausible a search term that we should delete the resulting redirect entirely? Just because it needs admin assistance to make the move doesn't mean it needs to go through the whole deletion process. -- nae'blis 19:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Quite possibly -- I think the guidleines could be a little more explicit as to whether you request the redirect to be deleted (so you can move the article there), and maybe refer to WP:RM if that is the preferred way to get this fixed up.
    Well, this'll accomplish the same thing, it's just that RM is a little less bureaucratic/faster, that was the only reason I mentioned it. Delete on technical grounds, so the article can be moved cleanly. -- nae'blis 03:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the advice -- now listed as a RM. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ratarsed (talk • contribs) .

MegCabotBookClub → Meg Cabot Book Club[edit]

The nominated redirect was Deleted, the creation of this redirect long post-dates the use of CamelCase on Wikipedia, and it is simply infeasible to create CamelCase redirects for all million or so articles we already have. --Cyde Weys 04:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Highly, highly unlikely search term. Hbdragon88 06:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. How many people will search "MegCabotBookClub"? Obviously they will seperate the words. Kalani [talk] 09:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I can't see anyone unless they have a broken spacebar find this redirect useful.
  • Keep as a redirect from CamelCase. Some wiki software uses (or at least used) CamelCase to indicate a link. The earliest software that Wikipedia ran on did this. Sometimes, web addresses (where spaces aren't allowed) use CamelCase to help parse long names composed of several words. Redirects are cheap. –RHolton≡– 01:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is not a historic CamelCase, ir's from last March. Septentrionalis 00:47, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, the website is megcabotbookclub.com, therefore it's plausible that someone will search under this term (some browsers will allow you to CamelCase a website). Redirects are cheap, and this isn't standing in the way of some legitimate article. Also fixed to go to the Meg Cabot article following the original's AfD. -- nae'blis 18:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Germany Sucks → Germany[edit]

The nominated redirect was Speedy deleted under criteria A6 (Article that serves no purpose but to disparage its subject). --Allen3 talk 02:29, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense/vandalism -- Fan-1967 02:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
