The result of the discussion was Speedy Delete per CSD R3. Non-admin closure. ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 02:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC) *User:Dingdong65/Written On Her → Written On Her[reply]

Double-redirect from userspace to article. History is already preserved, no need to keep a redir out of userspace. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 19:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete per CSD R3 (implausible typo). Redirect was simply created when the page was moved, and no one is going to search for it in the user space. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 02:30, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep People may have bookmarked the old address. Is it really necessary to break these bookmarks?--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 20:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Barry O'Bama → Barack Obama

As with below, although it would require a search for a nick name in addition to the misspelling –– Lid^(Talk) 09:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep notable media "nickname" especially when reporting about his Irish ancestors. Tavix |  Talk  17:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unlikely spelling error. O'Bama, maybe; Barry, maybe. Both together is extremely unlikely. ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 02:57, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I see no reason to include two typos in a single redirection in any case. Barry Obama and Barack O'Bama are both already redirected. Combinations are unnecessary. --Ninjasaves (talk.stalk) 05:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Barak O'Bama → Barack Obama
• Delete implausible redirect that would require multiple errors to be useful. –– Lid^(Talk) 09:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete especially since his first name is "Barack" and not "Barak". While that may be plausible, I don't think that would be with the O'bama. Tavix |  Talk  17:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it has something to do with this. ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 00:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete If people are learning about the President from a funny pronunciation of his name on youtube, we have bigger issues... ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 02:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The combination of two unlikely misspellings is unnecessary. Barak Obama, maybe. Barack O'Bama, Maybe. But not both at once. --Ninjasaves (talk.stalk) 05:48, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• • comment I'm pretty sure alot of people can't spell "Barack". As for O'Bama... no opinion unless it's St.Paddy's Day. 70.29.210.174 (talk) 05:19, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. Redirects are navigation aids. Sending someone to a page that does not discuss the topic is not user friendly. It's better for them to not find any search results than the frustration of trying to find something on a page that isn't there. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Tulloch Primary School → Perth, Scotland

A non-notable primary school which was redirected to education section of the town. After a clean-up, the school is not mentioned in the article anymore and therefore someone trying to find the school wouldn't get any information about it from that article Tavix |  Talk  17:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Week Keep What this redirect redirects to is slightly better then nothing. Also to preserve the article that used to be there, in case some other website wants to have it.--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 19:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Why would another website want to use it? Tavix |  Talk  20:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Culturally significant words and phrases from The Simpsons → The Simpsons

Unlikely search term. Most of the words have been removed. Purple monkey dishwasher. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 03:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, to preserve the history, no reason to delete. --Closedmouth (talk) 08:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - anyone looking for the article that used to be at this title, which was a list of terms created or popularized by The Simpsons, would be able to find some of that information in the section of the main article which documents the show's influence on language, thus making this a useful redirect.--Unscented (talk) 15:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
