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 delete. Jafeluv (talk) 09:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Anna Kantor → Gnessin State Musical College (links to redirect • history • stats) 

propose deletion of redirect: currently redirects searches for a person to an article about that person's workplace (which contains no information about that person). I believe a redlink would be more appropriate than a redirect, in the absence of an Anna Kantor article. Tremolo (talk) 14:30, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no significant information at the target. Possibly notable person so better as a red link, I agree. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:39, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• List of most luminous stars in the local area → List of stars more luminous than any closer star (links to redirect • history • stats) Delete, this is a misleading name, since it is a list of stars that are more luminous than any other star closer to Earth. "local" goes on to infinity and beyond, which is hardly local at all. The list includes a star that isn't even in the same galaxy as Earth. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Other options might include a retarget to List of most luminous stars (there's also a List of brightest stars and a List of nearest bright stars, but those don't seem as good). Sideways713 (talk) 18:23, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply "List of most luminous stars" is not a local area list, most of them are not local. "List of brightest stars" is not about luminosity, it is about visual apparent brightness from Earth, as is "List of nearest bright stars". "List of brightest stars" is also not a local list. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:11, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I know all that, which is why I just commented, rather than actually supporting a retarget to any of those. List of most luminous stars does include many relatively nearby stars, so it would give people some of the information they're looking for (anyway, define "local area" for me...) And you're wrong in that List of nearest bright stars actually uses absolute rather than apparent magnitude as its primary criterion. Sideways713 (talk) 10:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I was pointing it out to passers by at RfD. I stand corrected on nearest bright stars, sorry about that. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 18:28, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Create list or delete From the above discussion, it would appear that there are no suitable targets for this redirect. I'd say the local group is a good approximation for "local area". If a list is created out of this, then it should have a more specific title about the amount of "local"ness desired, in which case this redirect can be retargeted to that list. --NYKevin @319, i.e. 06:39, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Like IP, I'm not sure the Local Group is a good pick for "local area", but if we did use that, there wouldn't be any need to create a new list; List of most luminous stars doesn't contain any entries from outside the Local Group as far as I can see.

• I don't think it even includes any stars from Andromeda, and that's well inside the limit of the Local Group. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 13:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The Local Bubble is also a "local area", but instead of being 10million lightyears across, it is only 300 lightyears, 4 orders of magnitude smaller... while an order of magnitude larger is the Local Supercluster at 110million lightyears across. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 13:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - confusing and an unlikely search term. I see no benefit in retargeting. Bridgeplayer (talk) 15:19, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. Tavix |  Talk  20:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
