Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 July 1

Cross-namespace redirect. I would just delete it, but I see there's already a reversal in the logs, and I don't want to wheel-war. Chick Bowen 04:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete - Cross-namespace redirect. I'll put it up for speedy right now. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 13:15, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Frank" was not a nickname for "Francis" in the Renaissance. The Frank Beaumont linked to from Hermann Göring is obviously someone else; I'd write an article about him but I can't find anything about him. Chick Bowen 02:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. My editorial opinion is that Goring's Frank Beaumont is not notable outside the context of his master, so no new article should be written about him. Shalom ^Hello 05:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The hope is to have this redirect point to Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies instead of the potentially offensive essay. As a precedent, note that WP:JEW redirects to Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism. - Gilliam 18:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget as in nom. No need to delete, although incoming links should probably be corrected.--Fyre2387 ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget - But we're going to have to recreate another redirect to point to the meta essay if there already isn't one. I'll check... Cool Blue^{talk to me} 20:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget as above. I'll join Cool Blue in trying to make this work smoothly. Shalom ^Hello 01:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: If this redirect is to be retargeted, the existing links to it will have to be updated so that the linking pages don't become actually offensive. — The Storm Surfer 05:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • And someone familiar with meta might want to think about renaming that page. DGG 22:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think anyone's getting it renamed... It's been around for so long, and it's meant to be humorous. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 12:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reason the redirect should be deleted Wattssw 21:32, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The term is mentioned nowhere in the target article. Kariteh 21:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. See the US Playstation page for FFVII for the connection to the subject. --Aarktica 00:09, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But the term is mentioned nowhere in the article! If it's (apparently) too minor to mention, why have a redirect? Kariteh 09:58, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects are cheap. --Aarktica 02:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Beg your pardon? Kariteh 08:19, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
