4 August[edit]

Criticism of intelligent design → Intelligent design[edit]

The nominated redirect was Deleted, we don't particularly need a separate article (nor redirect) to criticize intelligent design ... it already discredits itself quite nicely :-D Cyde Weys 04:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Highly unlikely search term. FeloniousMonk 21:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gets a million hits on Google, [1] of which 600 are within Wikipedia. [2] --Uncle Ed 21:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Made to make a point. Ed created the link with the edit summary "(#redirect intelligent design which is 90% criticicsm)" JoshuaZ 21:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Since Ed hasn't been able to make POV forks, now he's making POV redirects? Please. KillerChihuahua^?!? 21:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clear vio of WP:POINT. And Eddie, it gets 296 hits on Google if you google it the right way ("Criticism+of+intelligent+design") [3]. Jim62sch 22:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
delete WP:POINT, (or if that doesn't hold, let's blatantly violate WP:POINT and make sure we get an redirect at criticism of Unificationism) — Dunc|☺ 09:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. -- ADNghiem501 02:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New proposal for alternative analysis → Wikipedia:New proposal for alternative analysis[edit]

The nominated redirect was Deleted by Fang Aili (CSD G6). -- JLaTondre 16:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace. It's an internal WP proposal, should not be in mainspace Fan-1967 15:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as mistaken creation in wrong articlespace, now G6 housekeeping. The intent was to propose a new policy for the community[4], not create an article, and that part has been rectified with the page move. -- nae'blis 15:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned now, except that I can't seem to get VP (all) to remove it from the cache. Visibly, though, it's orphaned. -- nae'blis 15:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ivs → Closed-circuit television[edit]

The nominated redirect was retargeted to IVS. BigNate37_(T) 00:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Term is not mentioned in the target page. (Liberatore, 2006). 11:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A little googling suggests this is Internet Video Server, a form of closed-circuit TV over IP Dgies 06:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the newly created disambiguation page (at proper case) IVS. BigNate37_(T) 08:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace redirect orphaned long ago BigDT 02:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep—This has history (namely, the script itself). Ardric47 02:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is not used on more than several pages. We don't require to keep the history, though. -- ADNghiem501 02:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Is the script available elsewhere? Ardric47 08:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wp:ubx/wp → Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia[edit]

WP:UBX/WP → Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia[edit]

The nominated redirect was Kept, it does not as yet seem to be the time to tackle the WP: pseudo-cross-namespace-redirects. --Cyde Weys 04:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needless cross-namespace redirect. BigDT 02:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, {{R from shortcut}}. Kusma (討論) 05:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment listing pseudo-namespace redirects from WP: to Wikipedia: as cross-namespace is counterproductive. The WP: pseudo-namespace is not real when you want it and article namespace when you don't. It is intended as Wikipedia: namespace. BigNate37_T·C 16:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as misguided nom and as {{R from shortcut}}. BigNate37_T·C 16:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Kusma and BigN. Joe 23:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DRV/UBX → Wikipedia:Deletion review[edit]

The nominated redirect was Barely kept, it does not as yet seem to be the time to tackle the WP: pseudo-cross-namespace-redirects, although I do question the usefulness of a redirect to a subpage that hasn't existed in months. --Cyde Weys 04:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needless cross-namespace redirect as DRVU is no longer a separate page. BigDT 02:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for historical reasons, old discussions will make more sense if this harmless {{R from shortcut}} exists. Kusma (討論) 05:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Odp → Freedom and Solidarity Party[edit]

The nominated redirect was Target changed to ODP as duplicate (it already has both entries). -- JLaTondre 12:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As nothing is called odp, only 'ODP, this should be removed so searching for odp sends one to ODP (dab page) instead of a particular article for something called ODP Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley _talk _contrib 01:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
