Delete. Redirect appears to contain a RTL tag, making it impossible to type, except when coming from the wiki of one of the RTL languages, such as Hebrew. Unlikely to be entered. Created about a week ago. Target is plausible if it could be entered. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:11, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep you could copy-paste it from some maths document to look for it in Wikipedia, though it seems to be backwards... since it's supposed to Aleph-Zero. 76.66.193.119 (talk) 00:19, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as an implausible redirect. CRGreathouse (t | c) 00:34, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As mathematical notation, this is wrong even in RTL scripts. As a term for linking on the English Wikipedia, it is worthless and can cause problems upon being copied and pasted because of the directional character. As a term for searching on the English Wikipedia, it is quite implausible because of the directional marker; in any case ℵ₀ and ℵ0 both exist, and 0ℵ could be created if it were felt to be worthwhile. This specific formulation does more harm than good. Gavia immer (talk) 05:26, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Redirect appears to be (RTL)(Aleph)0(/RTL); someone correct me if I'm wrong. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:44, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Don't really see what the fuss is about; it doesn't seem to be misleading or tendentious in any way, and apparently there are scenarios, even if low-probability ones, where it could be a convenience for someone. I would like to know what these "RTL tags" are exactly — nothing I can see indicates that the title is anything different from a numeral 0 followed by an aleph symbol. --Trovatore (talk) 19:56, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Whatever it is, it isn't 0ℵ. I can't find a tool which determines exactly what the character is, but it clearly does have an RTL tag in it. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:09, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - if you have the Hebrew keyboard installed for Windows, than the easierst way to find the article section on 0ℵ would be to type an אst letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which ihappens to be on the "T" key), and then a 0. This redirect is precisely that. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:24, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect does not reflect consensus usage and should be deleted; for example, this DRV discussion from today Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Mikie_Da_Poet. Meaning of phrase is intuitively clear. See previous unsuccessful nomination here for background [1]. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:33, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

unlikely typo; bad syntax 76.66.193.119 (talk) 04:43, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to Melena (Medicine) let it sit for a couple years in case somebody decides to look for it. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 06:56, 20 July 2010 (UTC) Delete per below. Already renamed anyway. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 17:46, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It was properly moved to Melena (Medicine) the day it was created, last November. This is just a useless artifact of bad page titling.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 15:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion, misspelled and unused redirect Brianhe (talk) 02:25, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete; with two misspellings, this isn't good for very much. In fact, I thought "homo"-cides was supposed to indicate this was a gay murder case, but I guess not.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 16:00, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Misleading redirect from an (unlikely) categorical plural to a single case. (Same goes for Washington state Craiglist murders, and the Washington state Craiglist deaths redirect which does not appear to have edit history that contributed to the target article, though I could be wrong.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
