Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 October 1

• Zenwalk/redirects → Zenwalk (links to redirect) (stats) 

Delete. Somehow this one fell through the cracks when we were deleting other redirects that advertised to be redirects. Created in 2005, this seems too old to be speedied. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 00:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appending three more:

• Hector Og Maclean, 15th Clan Chief/redirects → Hector Og Maclean, 15th Chief (links to redirect) (stats)
• Boy Blue (Electric Light Orchestra song)/redirects → Boy Blue (Electric Light Orchestra song) (links to redirect) (stats)
• Middle Earth/Fellowship of the Ring/redirects → The Fellowship of the Ring (links to redirect) (stats)

All four of these are the result of recent moves by Anthony Appleyard -- ToE^T 01:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, OK, delete them: each [[X/redirects]] is junk that I shifted aside when obeying a request to move another page to name [[X]]. Leaving deleted parallel-history edits under a visible page with an edit history, is too liable to accidents if the new page [[X]] must for some reason be later temporarily deleted. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:26, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appending eight more of the parenthetical style:

• How the Grinch Stole Christmas (TV special) (redirects) → How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (TV special) (links to redirect) (stats)
• I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You) (redirects) → I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You) (links to redirect) (stats)
• The Take Over, the Breaks Over (redirects) → The Take Over, the Breaks Over (links to redirect) (stats)
• Roman Catholic Diocese of Mazara del Vallo (redirects) → Roman Catholic Diocese of Mazara del Vallo (links to redirect) (stats)
• Sewanee: The University of the South (redirects) → Sewanee: The University of the South (links to redirect) (stats)
• Sussex Intlet(REDIRECT) → Sussex Inlet, New South Wales (links to redirect) (stats)
• HSV (redirected disambiguation) → HSV (links to redirect) (stats)
• TV4 Gruppen (Redirect) → TV4 Group (links to redirect) (stats)

More of the same (these tend to be older.) -- ToE^T 01:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appending one more; this one without an explicit "redirect":

• Temporary placeholder → Sewanee: The University of the South (links to redirect) (stats)

used in one of the moves relate to Sewanee: The University of the South (redirects) above ToE^{($a,$b)=($b,$a);}06:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Note that none of the 13 nominees above have content history in need of merger. All are redirects all the way down, except for Hector Og Maclean, 15th Clan Chief/redirects, which for two revisions was a sentence fragment of a stub (with nothing that wasn't in its target article of the time) and Sewanee: The University of the South (redirects) which for one revision was a cut-and-paste copy of its target article. -- ToE^T 07:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. There is no reason whatsoever for "/temp" or "/redirect" redirects. B.Wind (talk) 17:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was retargeted to Snow buttercup; speedy close upon withdrawal of nomination by nom (non-admin close). B.Wind (talk) 05:12, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Ranunculus nivalis → List of Canadian plants by family R (links to redirect) (stats) 

This plant does not grow just in Canada, but also Greenland, Svalbard, and mainland Norway – this should be redlinked (or an article), not redirected to an arbitrary list. — the Sidhekin (talk) 23:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I just created an article about this species here and redirected Ranunculus nivalis there. A redirect to the appropriate article is better than a red link. Neelix (talk) 23:34, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – or do I say withdrawn? – yes, a Ranunculus nivalis article, by any other name, would be as good. Thanks! :) — the Sidhekin (talk) 23:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• The Replacements (disambiguation) → The Replacements (links to redirect) (stats) 

It is redirecting to a disambiguation page. It makes no sense to maintain the name (disambiguation) page anymore. warrior4321 03:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Redirecting "Foo (disambiguation)" to the disambiguation page for "Foo" is generally quite useful. — Gavia immer (talk) 01:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Gavia immer sums it up nicely - and there is plenty of precedent for keeping such redirects. B.Wind (talk) 02:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
