• Ubuntu_12.10 → Ubuntu (operating system)
• Ubuntu_13.04 → Ubuntu (operating system)
• Ubuntu_13.10 → Ubuntu (operating system)

I couldn't find any sources about future releases of Ubuntu other than speculation, and having a redirect about a possible release four years from now seems very speculative.  [ mad pierrot ]  21:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Arthur Newton (athlete) → Arthur Newton (links to redirect)

• Arthur Newton (runner) → Arthur F. H. Newton

Both redirects should be deleted, because they are ambiguous (both Newtons were athletes and runners) and not needed anymore. GirasoleDE (talk) 13:13, 8 August 2009 (UTC)}}[reply]

• Probably a better approach would be to make Arthur Newton (athlete) a disambiguation page and Arthur Newton (runner) a redirect to it. It's conceivable that someone familiar with our disambiguation practices might search on either term. — Gavia immer (talk) 18:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Create disambiguation page per Gavia. Good idea, or even rename current Arthur Newton page to Arthur L. Newton, and have Arthur Newton be the disam page.  [ mad pierrot ]  20:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• مازیار پرتو → fa:مازیار پرتو (links to redirect)

Delete since this is the English language Wikipedia, and this redirect is meaningless except to speakers of (I think) Persian. Jll (talk) 14:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Change target to Maziar Partow, the English version of the article.  [ mad pierrot ]  23:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per mad pierrot. It's conceivable that someone might search on this person's name in Farsi. We should definitely not have a soft redirect to a foreign-language article, though, since it's unlikely to be of use to English speakers. — Gavia immer (talk) 18:36, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget per mad pierrot. youngamerican (wtf?) 13:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
