• According to the edit summary applied, this page was incorrectly speedy-deleted based on a misunderstanding. It has been temporarily restored pending discussion here. Having said that, this specific discussion will be closed as moot since Talk pages almost always follow the fate of the article/redirect page to which they refer. The discussion about the redirect page is immediately below. Rossami (talk) 05:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No family name in redirect. Same sense as "John Sebastian" linking to Bach. Wrong transliteration. Muczachan (talk) 12:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• This page was incorrectly speedy-deleted under case G6. Since the page had history prior to the move, G6 could not apply. Reopening the debate. Rossami (talk)
• Keep because it documents the pagemove. The fact that the page was originally made at the wrong title is not an endorsement of that title. In fact, one of the primary purposes of a redirect is to teach our readers the correct destination. Rossami (talk) 05:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is not a "valid" mistake someone could make to reach automatically at this destination. At least not unless you expect "Johann Sebastiam" (mind the 'm') to redirect to "Johann Sebastian Bach" (When even "Johann Sebastian" does not do it.) Muczachan (talk) 11:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yet the original user who created the page made exactly that mistake (and all evidence appears to suggest that it was a good-faith effort). This is not a redirect that we would ever create preemptively but there is value in preserving the history of non-vandalism pagemoves. Rossami (talk) 15:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect name does not contain family name. Same sense as "John Sebastian" linking to Bach. Wrong transliteration, at that.Muczachan (talk) 12:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• According to the edit summary applied, this redirect was incorrectly speedy-deleted based on a misunderstanding. It has been temporarily restored pending the conclusion of this discussion. Rossami (talk)
• Keep but retarget to avoid the double-redirect because it documents the first step in the pagemove discussed immediately above. Rossami (talk) 05:22, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This(urbandictionary.com external) might suggest that this redirect is vandalism, however rather than tagging it for speedy, I thought I'd nominate it here for discussion. ——Ryan • (talk) 11:08, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete no reason for it. Seems like a vandalism redirect or even a move. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 20:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
